If you are having problems trying to charge your iphone, the first thing to consider is to try a different cable and plug. If your iphone still has problems charging up, then the port inside the phone may need cleaning.

3) Get a toothpick or a cotton bud and insert it into the dirty charging port on your iphone device. Under a well-lighted location, twirl around the object and push it inwards and outwards on each metal contact pin that you can see.
