Symptom Diagnosis

Last updated: 13 March 2026

Charging problems range from a simple lint blockage to a failed Charging IC chip. Here's how to diagnose exactly what's wrong before spending money on the wrong fix.

Step 1 — Rule Out the Simple Fixes First

Try a different charging cable — cables fail more often than ports.
Try a different power adapter.
Clean the charging port with a toothpick (gently) — lint is the most common cause.
Restart the phone and try again.

Possible Causes & Repairs

Lint / debris in port → Professional port cleaning (included in port repair visit)
Damaged charging port → Charging port replacement (RM 180–650, 1–2 hrs)
