Q: My iPhone won't charge — is the port definitely broken?

Not always. About 1 in 3 customers have clogged ports, bad cables, or software issues. Bring it in for free diagnostic. We test cables, inspect under microscope, and clean the port before recommending replacement.

Q: What's the difference between Lightning and USB-C repair pricing?

Lightning ports (iPhone 11-14) are simpler — flat $99 across all models. USB-C ports (iPhone 15+) are more complex. Pro Max with USB-C 3.0 runs $129; standard USB-C is $109.

Q: Will USB-C 3.0 speeds still work after repair?

Yes. Pro Max models use USB-C 3.0 (10Gbps). We use OEM-grade USB-C 3.0 port assemblies that maintain full data and charging speeds. Tested before you leave.

Q: How do I prevent the port from breaking again?

Use quality MFi-certified cables, don't sleep with cable plugged in pulling sideways, clean pocket lint regularly, and use wireless charging when possible. Following these, port repairs typically last years.

Q: Will I lose my data during port replacement?

No. Port replacement is hardware swap that doesn't touch storage chip. Photos, apps, messages, settings stay intact.

Loose cable connection, debris in the port, bent pins, or full port failure — we diagnose for free and replace it the same day. Both Lightning (iPhone 11–14) and USB-C (iPhone 15–17). Sometimes it’s just dust we clean for $29.

Try This First

Sometimes it’s not the port.

Before paying for a port replacement, check if it’s actually broken. Often the answer is “no — it’s just dirty” or “no — it’s the cable.” We’ll do this diagnostic for free.

🧹

Pocket lint & debris

iPhone charging ports collect lint surprisingly fast. A blocked port stops the cable from making contact. We professionally clean ports for $29 — often that’s all it takes.

🔌

Test multiple cables

Try 2-3 different cables on the same iPhone. If one works and another doesn’t, it’s the cable not the port. Cheap third-party Lightning cables especially fail often.

⚡

Test multiple chargers

Some chargers underperform especially with USB-C iPhones. Try a 20W+ USB-C PD charger (newer models) or original Apple Lightning brick (older models).

📱

Restart the iPhone

Software glitches sometimes block charging recognition. Force restart: Press Volume Up, Volume Down, then hold Side Button until Apple logo appears.

💧

Liquid in port

If your iPhone shows “Liquid Detected” alert, dry the port with a fan. If it persists 24+ hours, the moisture sensor or port itself may need replacement.

🔍

Wireless charging works?

If MagSafe/Qi wireless charging works but cable charging doesn’t, that confirms the port is the problem (not the battery or charging IC). Bring it in.

Pricing By Model

Lightning models flat. USB-C tiered.

Lightning ports are largely identical across iPhone 11 through 14 — flat $99. USB-C is more complex on Pro Max models due to faster charge speeds. Here’s the breakdown.

Common Questions

iPhone charging port repair, answered.

My iPhone won’t charge — is the port definitely broken?

Not always. About 1 in 3 customers expecting port replacement actually have a clogged port (debris, lint), a bad cable, or a software issue. Bring it in for free diagnostic. We test cables, inspect under microscope, and clean the port before recommending replacement.

What’s the difference between Lightning and USB-C repair pricing?

Lightning ports (iPhone 11-14) are simpler and use a flex cable assembly we can replace quickly — $99 across all models. USB-C ports (iPhone 15+) are more complex, especially on Pro models with USB-C 3.0 high-speed data. Pro Max models run $129; standard USB-C is $109.

Will USB-C 3.0 speeds still work on iPhone 15 Pro / 16 Pro / 17 Pro after repair?

Yes. Pro Max models use USB-C 3.0 (10Gbps) for fast file transfer to external storage. We use OEM-grade USB-C 3.0 port assemblies that maintain full data and charging speeds. We test with a high-speed transfer before you leave to confirm.

How do I prevent the port from breaking again?

Three habits: (1) Use quality MFi-certified cables — cheap cables stress port pins. (2) Don’t sleep with the cable plugged in pulling sideways. (3) Clean lint out of your pocket regularly. (4) Use wireless charging when possible to give the port a break. Following these, port repairs typically last years.

Can you fix a port that has a piece of broken cable stuck inside?

Yes. We have specialized tools to extract broken Lightning or USB-C tips that have snapped off inside the port. Sometimes the port is salvageable after extraction — sometimes it’s damaged enough to need replacement. We charge $29 for extraction-only, $99-$129 if replacement is also needed.

Will I lose my data during port replacement?

No. Port replacement is a hardware swap that doesn’t touch the storage chip. Photos, apps, messages, settings remain intact. We always recommend iCloud backup before any repair, but data loss from a port replacement would be very unusual.

Mon iPhone ne charge plus — combien coûte la réparation?

Selon le modèle : 99 $ pour iPhone 11-14 (port Lightning), 109-129 $ pour iPhone 15-17 (port USB-C). Diagnostic gratuit. Souvent c’est juste un port encrassé qu’on nettoie pour 29 $. Réparation le jour même aux trois emplacements (Laval, Montréal, Vaudreuil-Dorion). Garantie 30 jours.
