That the mobile phone does not support charging is a simple problem but extremely harmful to the health of our communications. Let's examine what to do when my mobile does not charge.
My mobile does not charge: a problem with multiple possible causes
Perceive that, suddenly, my mobile does not charge nothing is always maddening. We connect again and again, we vary the position of the pin, we think about buying a charger or buying a battery, thinking about how much it would cost and we quickly lose the day between worries. Meanwhile, the mobile device is still dead in the most difficult moments, waiting for someone to listen to your system and manage to capture your problem.
The symptoms of this problem can be varied. The mobile phone may become excessively hot during the charging attempt or it may take too long to reach a full 100% charge. Or it may not get to 100% at all, always running out of hopeless half.
But just as there are various manifestations of a poorly performed load, there are also numerous causes to cause such an effect and different solutions depending on each of these causes. We will have to go through a discard process until we reach the correct option to resolve our situation.
Charger failure
This discard process must logically start from the bottom up. We start with the charger, the first element of the circuit and the main responsible for conducting energy to our phone. Unfortunately, chargers often present problems due to their direct contact with poorly regulated voltages and their tendency to overheat, especially after a long time of operation.
To rule out a failure of the charger, it will be necessary to connect it both in different sockets, to also check that the power strip is not the one with the problem, as well as in different mobile phones, in order to also remove the fault from the phone in question. If the loader fails to perform its function anywhere with these tests, then it will be necessary to change loader.
USB cable malfunction
If the charger is fine, we will continue to move up the discard process. The next stop is the USB cable with which we connect the charger to the Smartphone, a mechanism for transporting the necessary energy. The USB cable, because of its fragile thinness and kinks, is quite prone to damage in a relatively short period of use.
It will also be necessary to test it on other power sources, to show if it has an internal problem or, on the contrary, the problem lies with the power source itself, the charger from the previous stop.
Damage to the loading port
The so-called charging port or pin is the next element that we must verify. The slot in the phone through which the USB cable is inserted is also often subjected to environmental pressures that can easily damage it over time. If the cable pin is inserted carelessly, it can create breaks in the internal connectors, causing contact with the charger only in certain positions or not making contact at all.
In addition, an open slot introduces dirt and dust, which also affects the health of the connection. Let's then check the cleanliness and the internal state of the charging port, discarding it also using the charger and USB cable in other equipment, to see how it works.
Battery damage
We arrived at the most feared moment. Indeed, if the charger, USB cable and charging port are in perfect condition, all that remains is to assign the fault to the phone's battery. It can be frequently damaged by excessive use, by exposure to extreme temperatures, or by use in outlets with poorly regulated voltage.
To verify that it is really a bad battery, it would be a good idea to try another battery in the phone of the same model. But of course, this is only possible on mobile devices that contain removable battery. As is well known, many smartphones have a built-in battery and this complicates the solutions a bit in this regard.
In the case of phones with a removable battery, we will simply have to look for a suitable replacement for the damaged battery. This replacement must be compatible with this specific model. Generic batteries often found in informal markets could cause equipment damage if installed without a second thought.

A device with a battery that cannot be removed will in most cases require a repair visit at the store where it was purchased or at the manufacturer's official sites. If the phone's warranty is still valid, ordering and replacing with the new battery is very easy.
If it is not current, it will be necessary to go to alternate repairs with professionals, but outside the official manufacturer's circuit. The last option would be to extract the battery ourselves following the advice of a tutorial or someone known who is more expert, but obviously it is the option with the most risk.
The healthiest thing to avoid future problems is to know how to take care of our battery from the beginning? The following video provides useful information on this. So far our article on what to do when my mobile does not charge. See you soon.
