**How to Fix a Phone That Won't Charge**

If your phone is not charging, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem.


1. Check the charging cable and adapter. Make sure that the charging cable is securely plugged into both the phone and the adapter. Also, check that the adapter is properly plugged into an outlet. If the cable or adapter is damaged, you may need to replace it.


2. Clean the charging port. The charging port on your phone can become dirty or clogged over time, which can prevent the phone from charging. To clean the charging port, use a cotton swab or a toothpick to gently remove any dirt or debris.


3. Try a different charger. If you have another charger, try using it to charge your phone. This will help you determine if the problem is with the charger or the phone.


4. Restart your phone. Sometimes, simply restarting your phone can fix a charging problem. To restart your phone, press and hold the power button until the phone turns off. Then, press the power button again to turn the phone back on.


5. Check for software updates. If there is a software update available for your phone, installing it may fix the charging problem. To check for software updates, go to the Settings menu on your phone and tap on "Software update."


6. Contact the manufacturer. If you have tried all of the above steps and your phone is still not charging, you may need to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer may be able to repair or replace your phone.
