Since the OnePlus 7 was introduced, it has been recognized as one of the fastest phones on the market, not only for the performance offered by its Oxygen OS customization layer, but also for the operation of fast charging. The problem arises when fast charging stops working and we cannot opt for a technology that has become essential.
The OnePlus 7’s fast charge specifically offers us 20W of power , which allows us to charge the mobile in just 1 hour. We have known that fast charging is not bad for our mobile and therefore, if we lose this function we must try to do everything possible to recover it and not run out of battery at the most opportune moment.

After many users have gone through this same problem, the solution for them has almost always been the same, you will surely get a surprise and it is something you had not thought about. Dirt is causing us to be unable to use fast charging on our OnePlus 7 and have to settle for slow, traditional charging. To solve it we just have to get to work and clean the type C connector of our mobile carefully.
How to clean the charging connector of the OnePlus 7
To remove dirt from the connectors of the mobile we must have patience and follow a series of simple steps. First of all we have to turn off the phone , avoiding that we get a scare and the simple becomes complicated. In the second step we must use a pin or a small, elongated and resistant element to be able to remove all the dirt from the USB Type-C port.
