Q: iPhone 5 not charging

Hi,

 

My iPhone 5 will not charge has anyone else got this problem?

When I plug the lightning cable in its as if the phone registers this but it will not charge.

I am also unable to transfer any data across to the phone.

The phone has been rebooted several times but still no luck,

 

Thanks

Jack

iPhone 5, iOS 6

    This worked for me. Older 5S. Thought the charging jack was bad. Was on the verge of ordering a new phone. You just saved me $350!

    Awesome! It worked and charging again now. I used a paperclip and scratched the bottom clean of lint. Not a whole lot but I guess enough to prevent the contacts from charging the phone. Thanks!

    This happened to me too - power cord was very much positional - had to get it in just the right position to get it to charge.  Used the end of a paper clip with a single layer of thin cloth tape, moistened in rubbing alcohol, to clean the port.  As others here stated, pulled out an amazing amount of lint - no idea it could even hold that much in that small space.  Cables that I had not been able to get to work for months are now working.

     

    Thanks so much to whoever got the solution out there for us to share!!
