Feb 24, 2011 11:47 AM in response to AimeeBeeby wjosten,Apple does not fix damage like this. The Apple store will offer you an out of warranty replacement: cost is $199(maintains warranty), or you could go to a third-party repair shop(voids warranty), or fix it yourself(also voids warranty):

Jan 17, 2016 5:01 AM in response to AimeeBeeby October26th,MY husband's iPhone 6 suddenly had a problem with the charging port. The charger would no longer fit properly and therefore he could no longer charge his phone. He did nothing out of the ordinary and we could not see anything wrong when we compared his phone's port with mine. I decided to see if there was an obstruction so I took a pin from a watch band, the only thing I could find that would fit. I gently scraped back and forth. Imagine my surprise when all this lint came out of the port! A lot. My husband keeps his phone in his shirt pocket and the lint from his pocket accumulated in the port so that the charger no longer fit. Lint out, phone charged. No more proble.

Jan 17, 2016 2:40 PM in response to AimeeBeeby daughtercoot69,Make sure there is no lint stuck inside of the charging port, while you're looking in the charging port check to see if any of the pins are bent or broken off. This is a common issue with the lightning port chargers.(lint built up)

Jan 17, 2016 5:01 PM in response to daughtercoot69by deggie,Here is a tip: check the date of the post you are responding to. It is a 4 year old post so I doubt they waited this long and it is an iPhone 3GS which has a 30 pin port.
