[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1761494, member: 204485"] A friend of mine recently reported to me that an iPhone 5s of hers had stopped accepting a charge. Of course i suggested to try a different cable and charger but same problem She took it to a Licensed Apple Reseller here in Bali who told her that the terminals in the charging port were corroded. I was a little doubtful about this diagnosis because I had never heard of such a thing. I did ask if the plug or phone itself had ever been wet but she denied any possibility of that. (Indicator not red) My thought it was more likely that an insect (we have a lot of tiny ants here) may have crawled into the port and been squashed against the terminals by the plug. She did say that she could get it to charge briefly if she pushed the plug hard to the left. So it seems a contact related issue but how to fix it? Has anyone heard of a similar problem? Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe compressed air or a cotton bud to fix this. We're open to any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
