A professional port cleaning is $25 when that's all you need, and a full charging port replacement starts at $49 when it isn't. Most port jobs take about 30 minutes and are backed by our limited lifetime warranty.

What to expect from a charging port repair here

Walk in or book ahead

No appointment needed. Booking online reserves your time and makes sure the right Lightning or USB-C assembly for your model is pulled and waiting.

Fixed while you wait

A professional port cleaning takes about 15 minutes. A full charging port replacement takes about 30 minutes on most iPhones and under an hour on most iPads.

Tested before it leaves

We confirm wired charging, fast charging, data transfer, and, on supported models, wireless charging before handing the device back.

Two ways to fix a charging port, one honest answer

Most "phone won't charge" visits end with a cleaning, not a new part. We'll tell you which one you need after the free diagnostic, and we'll never sell you a replacement when a cleaning will do. We also recommend against poking at the port yourself, since one bent pin turns a $25 cleaning into a replacement.

Most common

Professional port cleaning

Compacted lint, dust, and light corrosion are removed with anti-static tools under magnification, then the port is tested with a known-good cable and charger.

Best for: a cable that wobbles, won't click in, or only charges at an angle.

$25 flat · iPhone or iPad

Full fix

Charging port replacement

The complete charging flex assembly is replaced when pins are bent, corroded, or the port is worn out. On most iPhones this renews the bottom microphone too.

Best for: ports that stay dead after cleaning, liquid-damaged ports, or ports broken by a snapped cable tip.

iPhone from $49 · iPad from $89

The charging problems Glendale brings us most

Cable won't stay in

The connector wobbles, falls out, or only charges when propped at an angle. Usually compacted pocket lint pushing the plug back out of the port.

Repairs Starting at: $25

Repair time: ~15min

Not charging at all

Nothing happens on any cable, or it charges for a second and stops. We test the cable, the port, and the charging circuit before quoting.

Repairs Starting at: $25

Repair time: ~30min

Worn, bent, or corroded port

Bent pins, green corrosion after a spill, or a port simply worn out after years of plugging in. The full charging assembly is replaced with a new part.

Repairs Starting at: $49

Repair time: ~30min

iPad won't charge

iPad Lightning and USB-C ports fail the same way iPhone ports do, but on many models the port is soldered to the board. We do that board-level work in-house.

Repairs Starting at: $25

Repair time: ~45–60min

Charging port repair for iPhone and iPad in Glendale, CA

We repair charging ports on every iPhone Apple still has in people's pockets, from the USB-C iPhone 17 lineup back to the Lightning-era iPhone 6, and on every generation of iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad Pro. Charging flex assemblies for current and recent models are stocked in our Glendale shop, so most port repairs are finished in a single visit. Whether your device won't charge at all, the cable keeps falling out, it only charges at an angle, or it shows a liquid-detected warning, the fix starts the same way: a free diagnostic under magnification to see whether the port is packed, damaged, or fine.

Prefer not to come in? We accept mail-in charging port repairs from anywhere in the Los Angeles area, with the same parts, warranty, and turnaround once your device reaches the bench.

Lightning or USB-C, we repair both

Apple moved the iPhone to USB-C with the iPhone 15 in 2023, and iPads made the switch between 2018 and 2022. The connectors are different, but they fail the same way: lint packs in at the back of the port, pins wear or bend, and a spill leaves corrosion that blocks charging. We stock both port types, so the repair is the same visit whether you carry an iPhone 14 with a Lightning port or an iPhone 17 Pro with USB-C.

How much does charging port repair cost?

Charging port repair pricing depends on the device and on whether the port needs a cleaning or a new part. Tap your model above for the exact live price, or use this guide:

Repair Price Time
Free charging diagnostic (any device) $0 5–10 min
Professional port cleaning (iPhone or iPad) $25 ~15 min
iPhone charging port replacement $49–$169 ~30 min
iPad charging port replacement $89–$249 24–72 hrs

Every replacement price includes the diagnostic, the new charging assembly, labor, and the limited lifetime warranty. There are no hidden bench fees, and the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Why Glendale chooses Pro iPhone Repair for charging port repair

Plenty of shops quote a port replacement the moment a cable feels loose. We look first. In most cases a careful cleaning with proper tools is all it takes, and we'll say so. When the port really is worn or corroded, we replace the whole assembly with a quality part and back it for life. We've been repairing iPhones in Glendale since 2008, and if you've been searching for "charging port repair near me" anywhere in Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, or the foothills, our customer reviews will tell you what to expect.

What a charging port repair here includes

Free charging diagnostic

We test with a known-good cable and charger, inspect the port under magnification, read battery health, and check the charging circuit before quoting.

Professional cleaning, never a guess

Compacted lint and light corrosion are removed with anti-static tools by a technician. Please don't try pins, paperclips, or compressed air at home; that's how ports get bent.

Full assembly replacement when needed

Bent pins, corrosion, or wear mean a new charging flex assembly. On most iPhones this also renews the bottom microphone; on iPads it's a board-level repair we do in-house.

Wired, wireless, and data tested

Before you leave we confirm the device charges on a cable, fast-charges, syncs data, and, on supported models, charges wirelessly.

Limited lifetime warranty

Every port replacement is covered against part and workmanship defects for life.

Should you clean the charging port yourself?

If you want to try before coming in: power the device off, shine a light into the port, and use a wooden or plastic toothpick to gently lift out lint from the back of the port. Never use metal, never scrape the contacts, and skip the compressed air, which packs debris deeper and can force moisture in. If the cable still won't seat, the port still feels loose, or you see any green or white residue on the pins, stop there. A professional cleaning is $25 and a bent pin from a DIY attempt turns it into a replacement.

Built around the customer, not the ticket

Every job starts with a free diagnostic and ends with a real test. The price you were quoted is the price you pay. You'll get a text when the device is ready, you can follow progress with our repair tracker, and if the repair ever fails to hold up, the limited lifetime warranty means you bring it back and we make it right.

Charging port repair: FAQs

How much does charging port repair cost?

A professional port cleaning is a flat $25 for any iPhone or iPad. An iPhone charging port replacement runs $49 to $169 depending on the model, and an iPad charging port replacement runs $89 to $249. The free diagnostic tells you which one you need before anything is charged.

Can a damaged charging port be repaired, or does it have to be replaced?

Both happen. If the port is simply packed with lint, a cleaning restores it. If the pins are bent, corroded, or the housing is worn, the charging flex assembly is replaced with a new part. We never charge you for a replacement when a cleaning will do.

Is it worth replacing the charging port on an older phone?

Usually yes. A port replacement on an iPhone 11 or 12 is around $89 to $109, far less than a new phone, and the repair carries a lifetime warranty. If the device has other problems, our free diagnostic will tell you honestly whether the repair makes sense.

How long does a charging port repair take?

A cleaning takes about 15 minutes. A full port replacement takes about 30 minutes for most iPhones and 45 to 60 minutes for iPads when the part is in stock, which it usually is for current and recent models.

My iPhone won't charge. Is it the port, the cable, or the battery?

Any of the three, which is why we test all of them. The free diagnostic checks a known-good cable and charger, inspects the port under magnification, and reads battery health, so you get a real answer instead of a guess.

What does "Liquid Detected in Lightning Connector" or "Liquid Detected in USB-C Connector" mean?

Your iPhone has sensed moisture or conductive debris in the port and has blocked charging to protect itself. If the warning stays after the phone has dried for a few hours, bring it in. Cleaning the corrosion off the pins usually clears it; a badly corroded port is replaced.

Why does my phone only charge when the cable is held at an angle?

Compacted lint at the back of the port is stopping the plug from seating fully, so the pins only touch when you push the cable sideways. A cleaning fixes this most of the time; a worn-out port needs replacement.

Do you repair USB-C ports on the iPhone 15, 16, and 17?

Yes. We stock USB-C charging assemblies for the iPhone 15 through iPhone 17 lineups, including Pro, Pro Max, Plus, e, and Air models, along with Lightning assemblies for the iPhone 14 and older.

Do you also fix iPad charging ports?

Yes. We replace Lightning and USB-C ports on iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad Pro. iPad ports are soldered to the logic board on many models, so this is a board-level repair we do in-house.

Will I lose my data during a charging port repair?

No. A charging port repair does not touch your storage, and we never erase or reset a device to fix a port. We still recommend having an iCloud or computer backup as a general rule.

Is there a warranty on charging port repair?

Every port replacement comes with our limited lifetime warranty against part and workmanship defects. Accidental, physical, and liquid damage after the repair are not covered.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Saturday at 225 E Broadway, Suite 102D in downtown Glendale. Booking online reserves your time and makes sure the part for your model is pulled before you arrive.
