If you've ever tried to charge your TECNO phone and it doesn't seem to be charging, it's likely that the charging port is damaged and needs to be repaired. This can happen for so many reasons.
The good news is that it's not too difficult to fix this problem and save yourself from having to buy a new phone.
In this article, we will explain how to repair a damaged TECNO charging port. But first, let's look at the signs that your TECNO charging port has been damaged.
Signs Your TECNO Phone’s Charging Port is damaged
If you’re noticing that your TECNO phone is having trouble charging or that it’s taking a long time, it could be an indication that the charging port is damaged. However, there are also other reasons for this problem.
Here are some of the most common signs to look out for when determining if your phone’s charging port needs repair:
- Broken Pins in Phone Charger Port
The pins inside the charging port are what make contact with the charger when you plug it in. If they break or become bent, they can no longer make proper contact with the charger and will therefore not work properly. The pins may also become stuck inside the port, which can prevent them from making contact with any charger at all.
- You have to wiggle or jiggle the cable
If you have to hold your phone at a particular angle for it to charge correctly, then your charging port might be damaged. Similarly, if you have to wiggle the cable and jostle the phone just right for it to charge.
- Other Devices Can Use the Charger Cable and Adapter
If your charger cable and adapter work with other devices, then it’s likely that the problem lies in your phone’s charging port.
- Debris in Phone Charger Port
You may have a small piece of debris stuck in your charging port. This can cause damage to your phone, and prevent it from charging properly. All you need to do to fix this problem is carefully dislodge the dirt with a soft toothbrush or cue tip.
Don't use a toothpick or paper clip to try to pry out dirt from your charging port. This can cause damage to the pins inside the port and render it useless.
How to Fix a Damaged Charging Port in TECNO Phone
The charging port is one of the most important parts of a smartphone, and it’s easy to take it for granted. When it stops working, your phone loses its ability to charge. This can be a big problem when you need to use your phone and there’s no charger around.
Fortunately, there are several ways to fix a damaged charging port without having to replace the entire device. Here are some ways to fix a damaged charging port:
- Check your charging cable
The first thing you need to check is that your charger is working properly. Plugging in another device into your phone's charging port will tell you if it's the cable or the phone itself that's causing issues. If another device charges fine then it's probably not the cable that's at fault.
- Check the charger adapter
If you've ruled out any issues with your charging cable, then chances are your charger adapter is damaged. Connect another device to this charger and see if it charges properly. If it does, then you have a faulty adapter and should buy a new one.
- Reboot your phone
If your phone refuses to charge, the first thing you should try is rebooting your phone. Hold down the Power button for 10 seconds until the device turns off. Rebooting will help you clear out any temporary glitches in memory and restart the operating system from scratch.
- Clean your charging port
If there's debris in your charging port, it can stop your phone from charging properly. To remove this debris, use a soft toothbrush and gently scrub the inside of the port. Be careful not to force anything into the port; if you feel resistance, stop immediately.
- Try out a different power source
If your TECNO won’t charge with one power source, try using another one. If it charges on one and not the other, then it could be due to an issue with that specific power source. Try using a different wall outlet or USB port on your computer.

How to Prevent Damage to Your TECNO Charging Port
The following are some tips on how to prevent damage to your TECNO Charging Port:
- Don't Insert Foreign Objects into It
You should never try to put anything into the charging port on your TECNO phone. This includes objects such as paper clips, toothpicks, bobby pins, and other items that might fit into the port. You also shouldn't try to clean it out with any kind of liquid or solvent because this can damage the internal components inside the phone.
- Clean Your Charging Port Regularly
It's always a good idea to clean off any debris from around or inside your charging port every now and then so that dust or dirt doesn't cause problems with how well your phone charges or connects with other devices. You can do this by using a soft toothbrush.
- Don't use a charger that isn't compatible with your phone
Make sure that you use only chargers that are compatible with your phone model when charging it. Using chargers that aren't compatible with your phone model may cause damage to both the phone and its battery due to overcharging or overheating.
- Avoid exposing your device to extreme temperatures
Don't leave it in hot cars or near heaters or radiators. It's also important not to leave your phone in cold weather for too long either — the temperature has an impact on how well electrical components work together and can cause them to wear prematurely.
- Don’t force a cable into it
Don't try to force a cable into the charging port if it doesn't fit correctly — this could break off part of the port cover (called a "flap") or bend it out of shape.
