iPhone SE Charging Port Replacement - Fix charging issues

LET ME KNOW IF THOSE LINKS STOP WORKING!!

If your iPhone SE is not charging correctly... there are a few possible solutions. If you are sure that your charging cable works just fine. Make sure there is no dust or lint down inside your charging port. Lint build up can keep your charger from going in all the way. You can stick a thin wood or plastic tooth pick inside the port to clean it out.

If that STILL doesn't work, you will probably need to replace the charging port. Only attempt this repair if you feel confident in your abilities.

There are two screws at the bottom of the Apple iPhone SE. After that you should disconnect and remove the screen. Although not mandatory... it will be easier in the long run because you wont have to worry about hurting the iphone screen cables while you work on the charging port.

Thank you so much! My grand niece will appreciate having her phone back. I have rarely seen such a clear phone repair video, and this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!!! My son and I bought a replacement lightning port for $5 and were able to fix his iPhone SE with tier video!! You are awesome. Thx again.

Thank you thank you thank you! My phone wouldn't charge, couldn't afford a new one, and absolutely did not have the time to drive to the nearest repair shop. Your tutorial, along with about $20-$30 worth of parts, tools, and rush shipping — it works again. I cannot even express how grateful I am for this video and for your recommendations on finding the right parts.

I've changed SE screens and batteries, but never the charging port. It was certainly harder than those other things, but I got through it. Things to check at the end of the process include the headphones, microphone, charger, and speaker. When I was done, the speaker didn't work because the contacts weren't perfectly lined up. I took it back apart and adjusted it and that solved it. Thanks for the vid. Couldn't have done it without you!

The "Make sure your charging port is clean from dust and lint before you start taking things apart. Sometimes this will solve your problem." notice is no joke! Thanks so much for that! I cleaned my port (used some alcohol+cotton on a metal toothpick and then a needle to clean out residue) and it seems to have worked. Thanks a lot.

Cant understand why you have only 170k subscribers. Should have at least one million!

You totally rock for the high quality video. So many of the fix it videos are horrible.

Thank you jerry for the information. My iPhone SE was not charging properly due to a buildup layer of lint and dust. I was about to pay $250 for an entire port replacement. Just before i saw your video and read the description. I removed the lint layer and now it’s working fine.
I’m a big fan. Thank you much.

[benjaminh.morgan]

Was thinking of replacing mine because it had a hard time connecting to chargers, but read your advice in the description and just cleaned it with a plastic toothpick, now it works great! Thanks!

[tsvetaniliev]

Done. No screws left and it all works fine. Thanks for the video.

[turneyorama]

Thanks so much Jerry! Just used your video to repair my iPhone SE charging port without a hitch. I thought getting the home button reconnected would be more difficult given your warning but it did not pose a problem for me. Beginners luck perhaps? Thanks again.

[NavidFatehpour]

Thank you man! I was able to fix my phone on my own once again for the second time in the past 6 months!

Thank you for DCing the battery before the screen! This is a big problem among the repair world and is particularly problematic with the 6S series phones as not DCing the battery before the screen can cause backlight issues after a repair when the BL circuit is shorted while under power (the iPad mini is also particularly prone to BL circuit damage if the battery is left plugged in before screen changes). Also, thanks for reminding people to keep track of their screws! I've seen 3 iPhone 6's and 1 5S in the last week with long-screw damage (putting a long screw in one of the short screw posts, then torquing it down - this causes the screw to twist into the logic board below and damage circuit pathways under the screw post). Keep up the great work! :)

Thank you Jerry, My iphone SE works perfectly. Took me 2 hours to dissambly and assembly, but thanks to your marvelous video goes well. Had some trouble to connect touch ID, because had to replace one plate and this connector was not fixed originally (had to use sticky tape). Looking forward for new films. Thanks. Good job:):)

[zook]

Thanks so much for your video! I follow everything except how to remove the home button port connector from the old charging port assembly. I purchased a replacement assembly but it didn’t appear to have a home button connector. I know I’m almost there, but could really use some help. I’m a 75 year old, disabled veteran and really trying to accomplish this myself. Thanks!

[JustusWeiss]

Thank you! It took me some time but now my old iPhone SE works perfektly again!

[BigFred]

At 2:14 you skip past the step I needed to see

[morganrussell]

Great video. Just letting you know that the links for the replacement Charging Port and the Fingerprint scanner metal latch are no longer working.

[Daniel-wjrv]

Wow this guy makes life so much easier. I about followed the ifixit guide which instructed you to remove the entire logic board

[Fullassault]

This took an intimidating task and made it feel easy. Great resource.
