iPhone 13 Charging Port Repair | Mr Gadget Rickmansworth

Q: Is lint in the port the most common cause?

Yes — it accounts for the majority of 'not charging' faults on iPhones. We check this first, for free.

Q: Does the iPhone 13 microphone share the port flex?

Yes — the bottom microphone is on the same flex as the Lightning port. A damaged port can cause call audio issues too.

Q: How long does an iPhone 13 charging port repair take?

Cleaning: 5–15 minutes. Full port replacement: 45–60 minutes.

Q: Can a damaged Lightning port be repaired rather than replaced?

If only a pin is bent, sometimes. More commonly the full port assembly is replaced for a reliable fix.

Q: Does MagSafe still work if the Lightning port fails?

Yes — MagSafe is fully independent.

iPhone 13 Charging Port Repair in Rickmansworth

iPhone 13 charging port issues are very common after 2–3 years of daily plug-in and unplug cycles. Lint compaction from pockets and bags silently fills the Lightning port until cables can no longer make contact. At Mr Gadget in Rickmansworth we clean and assess the port for free — many faults don't require part replacement at all.

When the port is genuinely damaged — corroded contacts, bent pins from an angular cable pull, or liquid exposure — we replace the full Lightning port assembly. The 13 series port is integrated with a flex cable that also carries the microphone and antenna components, so correct installation and testing is important.
