How to fix repair broken lightning USB charging cable iPhone iPad not charging stop working corrosion connector tip
Is your Apple device not charging? You may have a lightning cable connector with dirty, corroded or oxidized pins. This is a known problem especially with pin #5 (ironically, the fourth one from the left.) Pin 5 carries the power and charging voltage to the phone.
Here's how I fixed up two of my own lightning cables, using things I had in my kitchen: 99% Isopropyl alcohol, some vinegar, a cloth, and some Q-tips.
If you have a misbehaving lightning cable, hopefully this works for you, too!
