iPhone 13 Pro not charging when connected to cable

Well, the charger is a chip (specifically, a U2/Tristar), not a board, and Apple does not do field repairs other than screen and battery replacement; instead they replace the phone and send yours back for refurbishing. Staffing stores with technicians capable of microsoldering is not economically justifiable.

They can do a diagnosis remotely if you install the Apple Support app.

Going further, if it was the chip I don’t think it would charge wirelessly, either, and failure of the chip would not prevent syncing and backing up so most likely charger circuit failure is not the cause of the issue.

Have you tried cleaning the Lightning port? You need a bright light, a toothpick and optionally a magnifying glass to inspect it. Accumulated cruft in the port is a common cause of failure to connect.

You’re welcome! For the future, Apple recommends against blowing air into the port, as it can drive dirt into the phone, where it can cause short circuits. But I’ve seen techs at the genius bar use an unfolded paperclip, which goes against my electrical engineering ethos. A toothpick is not metallic and can't short out anything.
