Hours of stressing, re installs, factory wipes, vanilla installations, software updates, iPhone forum scouring ...

... Only to strike fixit gold with something a tad low tech!

 

12 year old daughters iphone 7 plus wouldn't charge at all or sync with pc, only to realise the lightening port needed a good scrub! #iphone #charging #toothbrush

When I see my cousins I'll take a toothpick and dig out all the pocket crap that ends up in there.

 

The Apple store would have probably told you to buy a new battery.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

My dad actually went to the Apple store because he was having a charging problem with his phone.....they immediately checked if the connector was filled with lint.

Yeah I just like talking trash lol. Of the specialized tools that are used to justify the expensive repairs, a small pick is not one of them.

Yep, a lot of people don't realize that their pockets are full of link and lint isnt very good at making contact with gold pins.

Am glad it wasn't just me then!  I find myself looking for the most complicated fix sometimes, and ignoring the fact that its the most basic of troubleshooting which should be done first!  

 

There was a guy over in another sub forum who lost his wireless access after a windows update... a simple cold restart brought It back! Sometimes the old adage of a bit of spit n polish wins out ?
