anyone else break their port and search this up? 😭
Ahh
me fr😭
@@OrangePJytsame i broke the charging port of my ipad 5th gen
Me
Me lol 😂
The tape saves me🫡🥺😅😂🫠🥹 Thank you so much for this trick. It’s working good now. My iPad mini 5 port was losse
Nice 👊
Holy Cow... you made this pessimist a believer!!! Worked for me like a champ.
Makes me wonder if these companies count on the individuals that won't/can't try a fix themselves 🤔🤔🤔
I'm a subscriber now! Thank you!!
Hah. Glad to help. Yeah agreed
Lightning charging ports are junk apple needs to rework and rethink there shitty lightning charging junk im tired as hell of them coming loose . They make lots of money because they know its a shitty system they created. They know 90% of the people that bring them in to get fixed will just upgrade to a brand new device before putting there phone or ipad in the shop so to speak
Yup. They made these phones good for 1 year. So we have to upgrade each year. How all goes now. Nothing lasts
THANK YOU!! Thought I was going to have to buy a new one. Now it’s charging like it was new.
Nice 👊👍
that was me all day! Stressing about having to buy a new iPad! Prayed I would find a solution online and this was the first video that came up. Such relief! So relieved! ❤
Used the electrical tape as you recommended. Worked exactly as you said it would. No longer driving me batty with the constant beeping as it charged/not charged. Thank you.
Nice 👊👍
Is it safe tho? how is it going right now becuase I'm concerned if the tape will
Melt inside or damage anything
@@_lfmt_7159 I’ve been using it now for the last four months. No melting.
Makes me crazy! Bought new iPad, doing same crap 3-4 months later!
@@_lfmt_7159how? Non conductive tape.
Best video on RUclips. Years of charging issues and multiple expensive cables solved in five minutes with some tape. Thank you.
Thanks 👊
I double the electric tape & made sure it was even& my prongs where on the opposite side, but I truly Thank you
Surprised to see how many have similar problems. I’ve got the severe angle thing. Can get it to make contact for a little while by duct taping the cable down. I must have a great cable since I’ve been abusing it this way and it still works. One layer made it much easier to make contact. I am going to try another and see if I can make it somewhat normal. I bought a refurb for the cost of a repair and that one quit charging after 6 wks, I’m waiting to get its replacement . Same problem I bet. Thanks for the video!
👊👍👍
Me then realising there’s a crack / cut on the port and wire
OMG - I have been struggling for a year! Thank you Thank You🎉
Nice joke
The problem with most iPads with a lightning port, is the port inside the housing has broken traces. So although this technique may work for some cases, most have broken internal port.
This is funny though because I get so many customers who tell me they tried the electrical tape trick & it didn't work. And I finally found this video that shows this trick lol
Omg the tape trick workeddd 😭😭 saved me from repair and buying new one !!! TYSMMMM
Glad to help 👊
Wow! Thank you... Saved us from buying new charging cable without really knowing what's the main issue is 😂
Nice 👊
I did buy new cables, but they didn't work either 😂 But this video saved the day/.
Thank you very much for this! I would have never thought of these! I have a Lightning port on my iPad and took a small paintbrush and completely brushed it out. This seemed to do the trick. I really appreciate the help!
Nice 👊
It’s starting to work slowly on my iPad, I’m using scotch tape and I have now ruled it as a loose cable problem, thank you!
👊👍
I tried all what you said and I used hair dryer too nothing useful what else can I do ?
If clean , and tape trick don’t work. Probably need to replace the port. Just make sure the cable is good and working too
Seems to be a issue with iPads! The space where the plug goes in should not be “wider” when you charge it. It’s a fault. I have the same issue with my son’s iPad.
Thanks
Apply tape on plastic side ,
Not on multiple golden pins side of charging socket
Yup 👍
I found charging is intermittent with cheap cables - no probs with Apple cables.
Very true
Will this damage the device? It works for me but I’m still unsure because it is a bit tight..
i don’t want to damage my iPad because i have years of drawings that I’d prefer to keep
Edit: i did this and it worked for the first bit but stopped :/
Fantastic video to re-affirm ideas that i thought may work but not knowing if it would or without damaging the port for good 👌🏼
I also used one of those little dental brushes - not a toothbrush - but the little sticks with bristles used instead of dental floss, dipped in some distilled white vinegar and gently poked around inside the port and on the lightning connector, immediately dab with a paper towel, dry naturally in fresh air then stuck the electrical tape in with the toothpick - which was GENIUS - and Voila!
I went from a depleting 12% upset I couldn’t watch Netflix (other channels available!) in the hot tub to 100% and elated in no time 🤩
Cheers Bro 👊🏼
Checking out your other links later and hope to “buy you a coffee” ☕️ as you just saved me a new iPad 🫶 but more importantly I can turn the hot tub back on 😅
Thanks bro! 6 years with IPad Mini 2. I took it to a repair shop and he said $99 for replace port. I put it in my desk drawer and forgot about it. Now my boys don’t have to use mine! Awesome.
Went to the a place to check the problem, if It needed to be fixed they said they might break the screen in the procces and it would cost 200$.. hopefully this works better
Wow. Amazing. Let us know.
It’s strange that that shop tries to make you pay for their repair mistake. I would suggest to skip that shop in the future.
Great Job Man. Thanks so Much. Just saved me soooo much stress. This worked perfect. Stay Blessed Always
Happy to help 👊👍
2024 anyone?
Impressive. You are a genius! Thanks for this.
Thanks 👊
👍👊
After trying so many fixes for my ipad this one did it for me. Thanks a lot! Saved me from having to pay to get it fixed.
Nice 👊
Today I went to a repairing shop and they said that my iPad's port is damaged and burned from inside. They are asking to open that iPad's screen to change the port.and it is very costly for us . Sir pls tell can I use this trick here in my case also?? Please reply🙏
Try this first. If this does not work, then port might need replacing.
Thank You 😁 Thank You 🤩
Working Instantly😘💋💋💋
Do you think this could work for a usb type C port?
Stuff getting stuck there defiantly. Already experienced. I’ll do video with some tips soon
@@HowToWithLech awesome thank you!
Any updates for the C port video?
Worked like a charm, thank you!
Used Deoxit, alcohol to clean the port....nothing works. Used different cable, no luck. It was charging fine, then not. Confusion Ill try this.
👊
I tried everything I thing my connector is broken
Idk what to do😭 my iPad has had a loose port before and it got fixed for $200+ and it’s loose again but I don’t have that tape let alone any tape😭😭
U can spend 200 on a port but can't spend 1$ for a tape?
Thanks man --saved me from buying another Ipad for my son. Good job too with presenting how to do it!
Nice 👍
Is it still working bc I’m in that situation right now.
The port is loose and for a while i had been twisting my charger cable .. hopefully this will work 😢
This should do it. Yeah
That tape idea is a good one 👍 I hope to stretch the life of my current iPad a little longer until the new model with wireless charging comes out.
Yeah. You’ll be good 👊
There are no plans for a wireless charged ipad
You’ll be waiting for a long time for a wireless charging iPad 😂
Add me to your list of viewers who tried many things and multiple visits to repair stores (including Genius Bar) who said it would very costly to replace the charging port and they didn't have the parts for the old gen model anyway. Electrical tape for the win!
Awesome. 👊👍
My core is going all the way but I have to keep moving it to charge it
Did you out try the tape? That will fix that
How do you fix a iPad that won’t turn on & won’t charge anymore?
Might be bad port.
Cool trick! I ended up putting tape on one side of the cable instead since my son only uses the one charger for his ipad. Thanks!
Actually sticking in the piece of tape removed the gunk that didn’t come out with the stick. Thanks.
There you go 👊
i haven't charged my ipad in over a year so i dont even know if its working
👍
You’re not supposed to ever use a paperclip that’ll make it worse
Used what I had. But turn off and use toothpick etc. Best option
I use my iPad when it’s chsrging I tried these but it doesn’t work
Check cables too. Might just be a bad port
I have an apple air not charging.
It worked!!! Thank you so much! I already tried to clean the port with no success, I left my ipad charging overnight with no success, then you brought the idea about tightening the space inside the port and it worked like a charm!!!
Nice. 👊
the tape is too thin and cant charge and i stick 1 more its too thick and tight to the charger cant connect
Try diffeernt tape
Thank you I was about to die 21% you saved me 🥰🥰
Nice 👍
This really worked for me. If it does fall off I will do it again! It has really saved me a lot of irritation and anger!
Nice 👊
Thanks for offering up a possible alternative to an ipad tear down, (ugh),, I ordered a kapton tape assorted widths lot from ebay and am waiting for that to show up,, I have another tip to try,, Use a piece of paper towel to burnish the contacts of the charging cable,, I tried that this morning and it is working, at least well enough to recharge my ipad again,, :-)
Thanks! I used the toothpick and got all that junk out!
Bam 👍
Wow ! Thank you so much ! I thought it was the cable at the least and it was the NEW charger that didn’t work.
👊👍
I have a iPad Air 2 I’m pretty sure, now I haven’t used it since August of the passing year because of the charger port, now I did do the tape step and it was able to turn on, but it only stays on for a few seconds, and then dies, I am very confusing. Don’t know what to do about the situation which I’m still trying to fix it
Make sure cables set good etc too. Might be bad battery or port needs replacing if won’t charge up
Does this work on c type and which side do i place the tape
type c is more like you have to squeeze the tip as it might be too loose when you put into phone. but don't overdue it, as can damage the tab inside phone. first make sure its all clean in the phone port.
Was just getting ready to order new cable and charger! Thank you!
👍
My parents said this was my last charger I didn’t mean to break chargers so mine worked and thank you!
Does it have to be electric tape I don’t have it
Use what u have. This just best option.
Port is clean, still not charging unless held at an extreme angle and even then its spotty. I did the tape thing and that worked for 1 night, now it won't. Help.
Ughh. Cable is good right? Try another tape. Maybe wast enough. Hopefully will work better
I tried tape too stopped working after couple days. I now lay iPad on table plug up charger and put a semi thin book where the cable is plugged in so it pushes on it and charges good lol
Don’t charge it at a certain angle every time and if u do, don’t charge it every night bc it’ll make it worser and worser then it won’t charge it all 😅
Mine doesn’t even charge at all and not even showing the thin red bar and I have used different cables.
Haha mine doesn’t even hold a charge and I left it plugged in all day and night. Still 5 percent or lower 😂
Thank you genius man!!! This fix WORKS!!! For now anyway, i can still use this poorly manufactured $500 Apple Ipad. Just like everything today, they make everything as “throw away”. Thank Gawd people like you figure out how to get more use out of these items! ❤❤❤❤
Yup. Happy to help
Worked perfectly thank you
You're welcome!
Thanks for the tutorial!
Happy to help!
Damn just brought a new ipad last week and only now have I decided to search a hack on RUclips to fix the problem $600 later 🥴
Ahhh. 👊
THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS ABOUT TO GET A NEW CHARGER BUT THEN I SAW THIS VIDEO!!
Nice 👍
Thank you my guy 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Thanks 👊
3:15 hi - don’t think I have ever commented on one of these but f@@@ me it worked! Cheers was quoted £75 this am when I went in to a local shop!❤
Nice 👊👍
hiya !! i jst tried this method and it really does work :D i was starting to lose hope when i came across this video and i jst wanna say thank you so so so much for helping me fix my ipad's loose charging port-even if temporary !! :D
Happy to help 👍👊
Nooo I’ve done this but now fit my charger in at all! Where did I go wrong and how to I fix this. Can’t even see the tape now please help
Use different / thinner tape. Just take this tape out with a toothpick etc.
Does masking tape work?
whatever you have on hand should work tape wise. I had someone use bandaid and worked. just don't get any tape on the ports inside . keep on the empty side.
paper clip is a no no in the port.
Yup👊. Use toothpick etc
thank you for showing how to do this step by step. I appreciate your help so very much!
You are so welcome!
Mines is Alcatel and i dont know because when i charge it it takes the battery down so i am wondering if you can help me please 😢 🙏
Could be bad port. Bad charger. But if connection issue this can help.
Thank you for making this video definitely just saved my kiddo from having a meltdown 😅 im thinking eventually replacing the port but for now rhis works
Yup. Nice 👍👊
Can I do it with just a normal tape?
Sure. Whatever you got
Thanks for telling@@HowToWithLech
I don’t have electrical tape
Get it. Use clear tape. Use a band aid 👊
@@HowToWithLech ok
Thank you so much my iPad has not been charging right or a long time thank you 🙏🏻 God bless you :]
Glad to help 😉
:D🙂
I did this to every single device of mine lol
@@Illdocraft nice
Good idea. Yes it's working 👌👌
👍👊
Hi, when i charged my ipad air 5 my hand stumbled it.I cant plug it as usual anymore. Its like loose port but the fast charging works normally. What should i do?😢😢 how could only 1 year ipad i did clumsy thing😢
Try a new cable. Of old one used up. Hopefully don’t need new port
@@HowToWithLech okay thank you 🙂
I would suggest using painting trim tape (3M Blue). It does not leave such a sticky mess.
👍
Great hack but tape comes out every time take out the charger 😅maybe I need a harder tape like u said !!
yes. dont use the soft fancy tape. has to be the cheaper stiff one. can even try other kinds etc.
Save your $$$ and don't buy this crap junk in the first place
Lol exactly 👍👊
I’m going to try that it sounds good. Hello from Kentucky
👊
I used the electrical tape but now my charger doesn't fit, I also used a toothpick the flatten it against the wall, what should I do?
Tape might be too thick. There’s is different kinds. Can try 2-3 layers of clear tape. Some viewers did that 👊
I tried this but it didnt help my tablet is android,When i tried charging my tablet it didnt work i tried many helpful tutorails to fix this promblem but it didnt help ethier well ig i just have to go to the store...
Yeah. Might the port.
Does anyone know if using the electrical tape trick voids Apple Care though?
No. You’re not modifying the machine. It’s just a temp fix till yiu replace the loose port
guys this method is rly good but nvr do it with a charger that heats up. the tape will melt and it wouldnt work well
👍
I’m gonna try that with kapton tape. Electricians tape will smear when the device warms up a bit, but I think kapton won’t because it’s designed for heat resistance …
Depends on type of electrical used. But yes people use all different tapes
@@HowToWithLech Tried it, doesn’t work for mine …
It works
👍👊
But what if you use scotch tape ¿
is a paper tape ok? mine isnt charging for a week and i have important stuffs in my ipad. i dont have enough money to fix it. my parents are not ganna use money for my ipad. it is a ipad pro 2019. the charger is loose when its plugged in. please help me
Thing just responded on other video. But yeah you should be ok. Get the lint out and tape it. Should be good to go 👊
@@HowToWithLech ill go buy the elctronice tape tomorrow. ill tell you if it works
@@hanohnk did it work?
@@WaspDestroyer1000 what i did was i got an electric tape and sticked in into the port. And it worked fine:)
@@hanohnk did it turn gooey or no?
It didn’t work
Make sure cable is good. Might be a bad port at this point
Didn’t work
Might be bad port. Just check cable too
It works for about a week or two, then it becomes a gooey mess. Don't do it
Try different tape. Important not to use soft ones.
@@HowToWithLechwhat kind of tape? Clear staples tape??
@@kristyandava I was say use a stiffer style electrical tape. or if clear tape, any should be ok. if think might need a couple layers
@@kristyandava if all you have sure. couple layers should do it. i like to use the cheaper stiffer electrical tape. but i had some people even use a bandaid in an emergency. its basically to make it a snugger fit.
alright thanks!
Did this with my iPad, saved me a trip to Best Buy :)
👊👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SAVED MY LIFE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy to help
I was watching from Google.. had to come into the app and was like “let me give this man his like” lol
👊👍🙏
Fantastic video. Worked perfectly thanks.
Great to hear!
Amazing what you can do if you actually use your brain. Thanks, buddy. That was crazy helpful!
Happy to help
don’t do this, it works but over time it leaves glue residue and make it a sticky mess
use right tape, and change it every couple months or so. or until you change the port, that's the only other fix. thanks
@@reactortechroblox
Don’t do it! Becomes a mess with the glue residue. Better trick, get one of those thin plastic strips that come out of a toy or electronic item that keeps the batteries from contracting. Works great, you just need to keep track of it. Been using it for months now with no issues. You may need to trim it as with the tape. What a mess that was, took me an hour with alcohol and thick paper towel and tooth pick.
Use the right tape. That’s all. Some people even used a Bandaid. What we yiu have at hand sometime
@@HowToWithLech I use good electrical tape (3m) and it works for awhile then starts coming off. Left a gooey mess that took some cleaning. The thin plastic strip from the battery separator on electronics item works great and no mess. Just my opinion, no disrespect intended just thought to let others know what I did and didn’t do. 👍
don't use the good 3m tape. its too soft, and will do that. have to actually use the cheap stiff electrical tape. that lasted for me for months . no goo mess. but no worries, thanks for sharing. whatever works and helps everyone. thanks @@DJSbm-28
