- Bent or worn pins from forced cable insertion
- Cracked solder joints from drops

Frequently asked questions
Why does my phone only charge in a certain position?
That's the classic sign of a worn or damaged charging port. The pins inside have either bent, worn down, or have a crack in the solder joint. Forcing the cable at an angle accelerates the damage. We replace the port for ₹999–₹2,899 in 30–60 minutes.
Can lint really be the problem?
Yes — about half of all "my phone won't charge" calls are solved with a careful port cleaning. We use a wooden toothpick (never metal) and compressed air. If lint is the only issue, we don't charge for the cleaning.
USB-C vs Lightning — does the price differ?
Slightly. USB-C ports (iPhone 15+, all modern Android) cost ₹1,499–₹2,899 to replace. Lightning ports (older iPhones) cost ₹1,799–₹2,499. Both are doorstep repairs taking 30–60 minutes.
