My iPhone SE worked fine, but after I left it in the drawer for a week, it won't charge. When I plug the charger into the charging port, the lightning logo appears for a second, but dissappears I'm immediately after, then no charging. I am new to iPhone, any advice please?
iPhone SE, iOS 16
Hi marlita80,
If your device won't charge, please check out this link, which has some suggestions that may help resolve some charging issues: If your iPhone or iPod touch won't charge
If your device charges slowly or won’t charge
Follow these steps and try again after each:
1. Check your charging cable and USB adapter for signs of damage, like breakage or bent prongs. Don't use damaged accessories.
2. Use a wall power outlet and check for firm connections between your charging cable, USB wall adapter, and wall outlet or AC power cable, or try a different outlet.
3. Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device, then firmly plug your charging cable into your device. If the charging port is damaged, your device probably needs service.
4. Let your device charge for a half hour.
5. If your device is still unresponsive, force restart your device:
* iPhone 8 or later and iPhone SE (2nd generation): Press and quickly release the volume up button. Press and quickly release the volume down button. Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.
* iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold both the side (or top) button and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears.
* iPhone 6s or earlier, iPhone SE (1st generation), and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the side (or top) button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears.
6. Let your device charge for another half hour.
7. If your device still won't power on or charge, take your device, charging cable, and charging adapter to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation. You can also contact Apple Support.
Thanks!

Another thing to try is, go to settings- battery - battery health and charging. If you have optimised battery charging and clean energy charging switched on, turn them off and try again. This worked for me.
THANK YOU!! I’ve been struggling with this issue for YEARS and even called Apple customer service and they just rolled their eyes at me. I knew it was a setting. I was ready to invest 50$ in a new charger, which would have been a waste, when I read this advice. Thanks
I since discovered that clean energy charging only works in the USA, so maybe this was the problem! I am using optimised charging currently with no problems.
I’m glad it helped! I tried different chargers and nothing worked until I found this setting by chance.
iPhone SE not charging, when plugged in, starts charging but stops
