Hi there!

There are alot of reasons for why this may occur.

1 reason being that the port may be bent. As you said you have cleaned the ports on the devices. If I may suggest you can clean the charging cable. I have also experienced a issue like this where a charger was not working so please also try with another charging cable and different plug.

Please tell me if anything works or you still need help.


Kind regards
