How to Fix iPhone 6 Plus Not Charging?

iPhone 6 Plus not charging? Here are step-by-step instructions for repairing or replacing your iPhone 6 Plus charging port.

Check the Charging Port and Charger

Start by clearing your charging port of dust, lint, and other debris that could be preventing a solid connection with your charger. You can do this via one of the following methods:

• Blow compressed air into the charging port
• Gently remove dust with a cotton swab
• Wrap a needle with double-sided tape to pull debris from the charging port

Once you’re certain the charging port is clean, see if your iPhone 6 Plus will charge. If it won’t, try a different charger, if you have one available, or try your charger on a compatible Apple device. If the charging port is clear of debris and your charger works, you’ll need to replace your iPhone 6 Plus charging port.
