Does not charge at all
Nothing happens when the cable is connected, or only another charger helps. The connector is often to blame, not the battery.
iPhone charging repair — Senec
iPhone not charging, charging only in a certain position or showing “liquid detected in connector”? Usually it is enough to clean or replace the charging connector. Diagnostics is free with the repair.
- Free diagnostics with repair
- Standard repairs within 24 hours
- 24-month warranty
- You know the price upfront
Symptoms
When it is a charging problem
Charges only in one position
The cable has to be held at an angle or pressed in. The connector is worn or loose.
Liquid warning
The iPhone reports “Liquid detected in Lightning connector” even when dry — the contacts are dirty or corroded.
Clogged port
Over the years dust and pocket fibres build up in the connector. Sometimes professional cleaning is enough.
Warm while charging
The connector overheats or the cable “sparks” — this needs dealing with immediately.
How the process works
How a charging repair goes
- Diagnostics. We find out whether it is a dirty port, a worn connector or a deeper problem on the board. Diagnostics is free if you have the repair done with us.
- We try the cheapest solution first. If cleaning the connector is enough, we do that — we will not replace a part that can be saved.
- Connector replacement. If the connector is worn, we replace the charging module (Lightning or USB-C depending on the model).
- Charging test. We check charging, data transfer and fast charging.
- Your data stays. A connector repair does not touch the storage.
Models we repair
Lightning and USB-C
We repair charging on models with Lightning (iPhone 14 and older) and with USB-C (iPhone 15 and newer). We also fix MagSafe wireless charging if it does not work.
The iPhone 15 and newer moved to USB-C, older models have Lightning — the parts and the procedure differ. In the case of liquid damage we also deal with corrosion traces on the board around the connector, not just the port itself.
Frequently asked questions
What you ask most often
iPhone not charging — is it the battery or the connector?
It is often the connector, not the battery. We find out exactly during diagnostics so you do not replace a more expensive part unnecessarily.
How much does a charging connector repair cost?
It depends on the model and on whether cleaning is enough or a replacement is needed. We tell you the price in advance, after diagnostics.
Will cleaning the connector help?
Surprisingly often, yes — built-up dust prevents contact. If that is enough, we change nothing else.
Why does it report liquid when it is dry?
The iPhone interprets corroded or dirty contacts as moisture. Cleaning or replacing the connector solves it.
Will I lose my data?
No, a charging repair does not touch the storage.
Is your iPhone not charging?
We do not charge for diagnostics if we carry out the repair — even if the device cannot be repaired. If you decline the repair, diagnostics costs €39 incl. VAT.
