Wipe cache partition

Cache files are temporary files created and stored by the phone in order to quicken the retrieval time required to open an app or website.

Second Category: Scrutinize the hardware armamentarium

If the problem still persists, the phone not charging problem that you are facing is possibly due to a hardware issue for which, the various techniques that you can employ to narrow down the culprit from any components involved in the process and fix it.

Check the charging port

Take your phone and use a torch to light up the charging port. Check if there is any debris stuck around the metal tab or not. If not, check if the tab is properly protruding forward or if its deformed or disfigured where the latter can be fixed by applying an opposing force to fix it but ensure that the force is gentle or else the tab could break easily. If the metal tab is damaged, there is no resort but to get it replaced as it would work now.

Check the USB socket

Take the cable and verify if the socket properly connects and interlocks with the USB port or not. With constantly plugging in and removing, it causes wear and tears to the interlocking mechanism without which, the phone will have a tough time to charge itself as the socket will not have a firm connection.

Verify the cable

Cable is susceptible to damage due to constant wear and tear it has to face. The cable is often squeezed or rolled to keep in a bag or even pocket or it is bent at obsurd angles when plugged to a power bank or an illogically fitted power outlet. The cables are also subjected to face twists and turns and even stretches and therefore, it could easily become useless. You can verify if the cable is causing the problem or not by plugging the same cable in a different smartphone to verify it. Or you can try a new cable with your phone to verify the same.

Verify the adapter

Every OEM provides a charger adapter with specific amperage and voltage that it draws it from the power outlet and delivered it accordingly to the device. But if you are using a third party adapter or an old but original adapter that could be damaged, it can cause phone not charging problem and that is what you can replace to fix the problem right away.

Can’t get it fixed?

If you are unable to find the culprit, it is better to report to a service center instead of trying to open the phone to check what’s wrong with it as it will void the phone’s warranty which is something you shouldn’t go for unless you want it to get void. You can also report the issue to a third party service center to fix it.
