Charging Problems on iPhone X: How to Fix it

One of the most common flaws that can be found in an iPhone X is undoubtedly related to the load of the device. If the equipment has suddenly stopped charging without any apparent explanation or it simply loads in a very slow way, in this article we tell you the most common causes as well as the possible solution.

Check iPhone X charger and cable

The most common cause related to charging issues on an iPhone X without a doubt is the charger and charging cable. It must be verified that in any case they are using original Apple accessories or that they are certified. You will know that they are certified if the MFi logo appears on the packaging of the accessory. It is important not to use charging accessories that are not authentic as they can easily stop working or they can damage the battery quite aggressively. This failure can end causing the battery not to finish recharging. The transformer that connects to the wall is the most important because internally it does not look anything like the official Apple.

Charging Problems on iPhone X

In order to be aware of whether the charger is failing or if it is the battery of the device, try connecting another iPhone or any device to the charger. If it begins to recharge, it can be ruled out that it is a problem with the charger and it may be the device’s own battery. Always keep in mind that the charger must be well placed in the socket and you can try to change the socket in case it is a problem of the home installation itself.

Clean charging port

The charging port can get dirty in the long run since putting the iPhone in your pocket can end up with lint inside it in a very simple way. This can cause the charging cable to not fit perfectly and have to be moved for charging to take place. To see if there is any lint you can use a flashlight to see the charging port. If you detect any residual dirt very carefully you can remove it with a needle. It should be borne in mind that the pins of the charging port should not be manipulated in any case since it can end up causing serious problems in loading. If while you point the port with the flashlight you see that any of these pins is not in good condition it will be necessary to contact Apple since this is where the problem is.

But if you want to determine if the real problem is in the charging port, you can try placing it on top of an induction charging cradle. In case you start to recharge the problem is not in the battery but it will be in the port. This can end up facilitating, and quite a lot, the repair and the price of it.

Perform Hard Reset on iPhone X

If the iPhone still does not respond, it is time to do a Hard Reset to be able to rule out that it is a process that is in the second term. Doing this process does not delete any type of data since the device is not restored. You simply have to follow the following steps to be able to do the Hard Reset:

  • Quickly press and release the volume up button.
  • Quickly press and release the volume down button.
  • Finally hold down the power button until the Apple logo appears.

Just when the logo of the brand appears, it will begin to perform the reset that could take a few minutes. After a short time, it will light up normally as if you were restarting it.

Restore iPhone X

As a last solution that can be given to this problem is to restore the device completely. This eliminates any software issues your computer may have, so you can focus solely on hardware issues. Obviously, restoring all data on your computer is lost, and it’s always best not to restore the backup you can make. If you do, you would be dragging all the ‘junk’ files that you had prior to restoration. In order to do it in the best possible way, the iPhone must be put in DFU mode and restored with iTunes on a Mac or PC. To enter iPhone X in DFU mode, follow these steps:

  • Quickly press and release the volume up button.
  • Quickly press and release the volume down button.
  • Finally, hold down the power button until the cable that indicates the connection to a computer with iTunes appears.

A dialog box will appear on the PC or Mac where you can choose between Update or Restore. Simply click on the second one to start downloading the latest available software and it will automatically install on the iPhone. This process can take several minutes depending in any case on the connection speed you have.

Contact Apple technical support

If software issues and charging accessory issues are ruled out once, you should contact Apple. It is very likely that there is a specific hardware problem in the battery that requires a battery replacement. It is likely that the iPhone is no longer under warranty, but Apple can also perform the repair although you will have to pay for the repair. You just have to call customer service to make an appointment at an Apple Store so that you can do a thorough analysis of the state of the battery.
