Why won't the phone charge?

1. Dirty or broken charging port: Pocket dust builds up in the port — professional cleaning solves it in most cases.

2. Cable or adapter: Try another cable — sometimes the problem is the cable, not the phone.

3. Dead battery: If the battery is worn out, it no longer holds — replacement brings it back.

4. Charging board / chip: In advanced cases it needs component-level replacement — we do it in the lab.

💡 The fix: inspection with an exact price before we start. Battery replacement — from ₪200, port cleaning — from ₪100.
