How to fix a Samsung Galaxy S5 that is not charging
Check the charging port for bent pins if your phone won't charge.
Step 1 | Check Charging Port
Examine the charging port located at the bottom of the phone using a magnifying glass with built-in lighting, as the port is very small.
Step 2 | Check the pins
When troubleshooting faulty charging ports, inspect the pins carefully for bent or damaged ones.
- Verify the pin count on your phone's charging port; some may have extra layers due to pin bending.
- Use a thin tool like a needle to gently push back the bent pin and restore its original position.
- Be cautious not to apply excessive force, which can cause further damage or safety risks.
