- **Cable and Charger**: Swap your cable and charger with known-working ones. Inspect them for damage, especially frayed ends or free connections.
- **[Cleaning](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/245944/helpful-information-on-how-to-locate-the-best-cleaning-services)**: Gently blow compressed air into the [charging port](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1592/european-union-ask-for-common-charging-port-for-smartphones-tablets-and-headphones) for your telephone to do away with dust and debris.
