Charging Issues, Problem by Problem
From loose charging connections and blocked ports to phones that refuse to charge altogether, our technicians identify what is causing the problem before recommending replacement parts.
Phone Not Charging
Plugging in the charger but getting no response? We test the charging connection and related components to identify where the fault is coming from.
Loose Charging Connection
If the cable falls out easily or only charges when held at a certain angle, the port may be worn, damaged or obstructed.
Charging Port Cleaning
Dust, lint and debris can compact inside a charging port and prevent the cable from connecting properly. We can inspect and professionally clean the port where appropriate.
Slow Charging
A phone that suddenly takes much longer to charge may have an issue with the port, cable, charger, battery or charging system. We diagnose the cause before replacing anything.
Charging Port Replacement
Physically damaged or worn charging ports can be replaced on supported iPhone, Samsung, Huawei and other smartphone models.
Cable Not Recognised
If your device repeatedly disconnects, shows charging accessory warnings or no longer recognises a cable, we can assess the port and charging connection.
Impact or Liquid Damage
Drops and liquid exposure can affect the charging port and surrounding components. We assess the extent of the damage before quoting.
Charging Fault Diagnostics
Not sure whether it is the port, battery or charger? Bring the phone in and we will test the charging problem before recommending a repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about your phone not charging? Here are some quick answers to help you get started.
There are several possible causes. The charging port may be blocked, worn or damaged, but the issue could also come from the cable, charger, battery or another charging component. We test the phone first so we can identify the actual cause before recommending a repair.
Not necessarily. Dust and lint can build up inside the port and prevent the charging cable from connecting properly. If the port can be safely cleaned rather than replaced, we will tell you. Replacement is only recommended where the port itself is damaged or faulty.
This can happen when the charging port is obstructed, worn or physically damaged. A damaged cable can cause similar symptoms. Bring the phone and charger in and we can check the connection.
Yes. If dirt, dust or lint is preventing the cable from connecting correctly, we can inspect and professionally clean the charging port where appropriate.
We do not recommend pushing sharp objects into the port yourself because the internal contacts can be damaged.
Straightforward cleaning and common charging port repairs can often be completed quickly, while more complicated faults may take longer depending on the device, damage and parts availability. We will give you an estimated turnaround after assessing the phone.
The price depends on your phone model and whether the port needs cleaning, repair or replacement. Send us your exact phone model on WhatsApp and we can advise you. The final price is confirmed before work begins.
We work on charging faults across Apple iPhone, Samsung, Huawei and many other major smartphone brands. Send us your make and model if you would like us to confirm support before visiting.
Yes. Charging problems are not always caused by the port. A worn battery, charger, cable or internal power component can produce similar symptoms. This is why we diagnose the problem before automatically replacing the charging port.
A normal charging port repair does not usually require your phone to be erased. However, we recommend backing up important photos, contacts and files before any device repair whenever possible.
Straightforward charging port cleaning or replacement does not necessarily incur an assessment fee.
For more complicated faults involving liquid damage, major impact damage, a dead device or multiple components, a R495 assessment fee may apply. We will tell you beforehand if a paid assessment is required.
Mobile Mate provides up to a 6-month warranty on qualifying parts and workmanship.
The warranty applies to faults relating to the replacement part or workmanship. New accidental damage, liquid damage or physical damage after the repair would not be covered.
Both. You can book beforehand or walk into Mobile Mate at Shop A17, Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village, Green Point.
If you want to check parts availability or get an indication of pricing first, send us your phone model on WhatsApp.
