How to Fix iPhone 7 Won’t Charge

Solution 1. Check Your Power Adapter

First of all, you look for any sign of wear and tear on the side of your cable. Check the phone's power adapter and make sure the cable is working correctly. Look physically on the cable you are checking, is there any wear and tear there?

If it charges on your PC, then try connecting the adapter to the wall socket; and if it doesn't charge, that means it's your adapter that has an issue. The best thing to do is to get a new one immediately.

Solution 2. Clean the Charging Port

The charging port refers to that part on the bottom of the phone where you plug the charger into. So to check this, you might need a pen torch to check the charging port. Most of the time we discovered that the charging port might be blocked by accumulated dirt or debris. So, if it is blocked by such, then your iPhone 7 Plus won't charge because there will be no connection between the cable and the iPhone. If you look at that charging port, there are about nine connectors, and if any one of them is blocked, then your iPhone will not charge. What you have to do is get a soft brush or a toothbrush that is soft, don't go for the hard ones and make sure that the brush you are getting doesn't conduct electricity; that is, it is an insulator.

Use the soft brush to brush off that charging port to get the debris off, and then you can blow at intervals. So after brushing, you can now try to charge it again. So after checking the debris and dirt and your iPhone still doesn't charge, then you will have to try the hard reboot.
