Phone no longer charges

Started by AK December 29, 2022
I have a Samsung S5 cell phone. It just now stopped charging. ??

I have tried at least 3 different charging cables, and 3 different chargers.

I also removed the battery and did a factory reset.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks.

Charger, cable, damaged USB port in the phone, build-up of dirt/lint in the USB plug or socket. Faulty charging circuit in the phone, or maybe the battery is completely dead. The most likely cause is a damaged USB port in the phone. Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage. Clean out the USB socket using a toothpick. Make sure the battery contacts are clean. Inspect the USB socket for damage. If all else fails, you probably need a new USB port. You can buy a complete PCB with socket for just a few €/£/$. You will need to dismantle the phone to get at the socket. Plenty of guides on YouTube. Good luck.

Get the wireless charging cover and a charger?
