Reasons why your phone won't charge

One of the most common reasons why your phone won't charge is that there may be a problem with the charging cable or charger. A faulty cord, damaged ports and worn insulation can prevent your phone from charging. If you use a third-party charger or cable, it may not be compatible with your device, so it's best to use genuine cables and chargers that are designed specifically for your device.

Another possible problem is a dead battery. If your phone has been used a lot, or if you haven't charged it for a while, the battery may be too low to charge. Try leaving your phone plugged in for a few minutes and if it still won't charge, try switching it off or removing the battery for a few seconds and putting it back in.

Sometimes dirt, debris or lint can cause problems with your phone's charger port. Gently scrub your phone's charging port with a brush to remove any dust or dirt that may be blocking the connector.

If you've done all the above and your phone still won't charge, it could be a hardware problem. Take it to a repair shop or contact the manufacturer for help.
