iPhone 7 sometimes charges and sometimes does not.

Hi all


I have been having an issue with my iPhone 7 sometimes charging and sometimes not. I have noticed that the lighting bolt icon may be there one second, but will go away in another second. This often happens if the phone is moved or bumped slightly. I thought it might be the charging cable, so I changed cables and thought everything was good. Everything seemed to be fine for a few weeks, but now I noticed that is back to not always charging. My work around has been to make sure the lighting bolt icon is there and and that I don't touch the phone after that.


I am guessing that problem may be with the charging port.


Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That sounds as it may be a dirty charge port. Using a bright light peer into the port to check for dust/lint/dirt. If needed, clean with a soft brush or dry toothpick.
