charger won't connect to iphone 6 plus

Glad you could fix it, but yes I would caution using a needle, a toothpick would be better though need to be careful that part of that doesn't break off. I used canned air that worked well in my case, always good to have that handy for other electronics to keep the dust out.

Last night my wife had her phone plugged in the car, went to a meeting and dropped it in a toilet. Put it in rice and the thing works. Shut it down however and then I was going to try to do a computer backup to get every picture off of it, as icloud seems to loose them. We have Apple Care and will get the phone replaced this weekend at the Apple Store.

Here is the issue. Since the accident, it will not accept a plug. The plug goes a little over half way. I measured the depth with a tooth pick and the depth of the canal is less than mine now. Did the water cause something to make the phone unable to plus in?

Tried canned air, tried a tooth pick. I am an optometrist and place it under a microscope and the is no foreign body in there just a shorter canal.

HELP!

grains of rice in socket no other logical answer hence reduction in depth

Do you have photostream activated

Glad to hear you have Apple care looks cheap at the price now ,doesn't it ??

Just wanted to write that I was also about to send the iPhone 6 in for repair (I live 6hrs from an Apple Store) and that this post saved me countless hours of down time. I had an issue where the lint had compacted in the bottom of the lightening cable port and I thought that there was some sort of other blockage in there because gently using a toothpick to clear away debris did not affect a fix. After reading on another post that serious digging was required to clear the blockage I went ahead and used a paperclip. To clear the blocked port required some hard digging and at one point I felt that I would ruin the iPhone. In the end the result was good and I could again plug the connector in. Long and short the digging required to clear the port of debris was way over what I would have expected. Probably those of you who live near an Apple store would be better served by taking the iPhone there than risking damaging the device. However if an Apple store is not a viable option and you absolutely need to fix your iPhone then I would suggest doing what I did.

Thanks a lot for this tip!

I had a problem where the charging was intermittent. I had to play with the cable and hold it in a certain position to get it to charge. I read some of the posts about this issue and found out that I had lint in my cable slot of my iPhone 6 Plus. I cleaned it out with a toothpick. Everything works fine now. Initially I thought it was a cable or hardware problem and I was cursing Apple. My bad! it was only the lint in my pocket.

Glad you got it fixed!

You are a frigging genius. This fixed my connector immediately!🙂

Glad it helped! I've learned a lot of these forums and try to pass it on.

Awesome.. You just saved my day..!!! I had the same issue and your solution worked like charm.Thank you..

The pocket lent was the only thing I found wrong. fixing my iphone 6 charger problem. The lent is stuck in the charger hole on the phone. This is cause by keeping the phone in your pocket.

HI- did you ever resolve this issue? I was pushed onto a pool with the phone in my hand. I did the rice trick, and am now trying to power it up. The charge tip only goes in about half way. Any advice you could provide would be great.

You probably have rice stuck in the port. See the advice given above.

RRead about your deep digging and figured it was cheaper than a repair. Crammed a safety pin in and it did the trick. Thanks a ton!
