Charging your Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy device should be easy right? Well for many, the longer you have your phone the harder this can become, why? WHHHYYY? We hear you cry, allow us to explain....

Fluff. Simple as that....well OK it's not but 99% of the time it really is. As we put our phones in our pocket, handbag, cement mixer etc, the charge port is prone to attracting naughty particles like dust, debris and even wood chippings! Over the years we've removed some weird and wonderful things from charge ports COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE so if you're wrapping your charge lead around your phone to get it to connect or the lead no longer goes all the way into the port then our service will likely fix your problem.

Of course there are times when the charge ports and/or motherboard chips (often called the Tristar IC) fail and you need an actual repair. WE DO THIS TOO! Charge port repairs are straightforward and can usually be completed within 25-30 minutes. If you have a motherboard failure then this will take longer for our wizards to work their magic. Tristar or coil failures often present as a battery issue with extremely fast depletion making you think your battery is degraded so diagnosis (another free service by iRepairs Hull) is essential.

So there you have it, most charging problems are down to dirt. If you decide to clean it yourself, be sure to use something thin and non-magnetic taking care not to damage the pins otherwise you will definitely need a charge port replacement. Oh, and DO NOT blow compressed air into it. This can dislodge delicate components inside your device. Book in with us, it's free of charge! (see what we did there?)

Love & peace
