Google Pixel will not charge

Pixel charging faults are more often the cable than the phone, because the bundled cable is soft and fails at the strain relief. Try another before assuming the port.

What causes it

  • Compacted lint in the port, which is the single most common cause and the cheapest to fix
  • A failed cable or charger, which fails invisibly at the strain point
  • A worn or bent port that no longer holds the connector
  • A battery at the end of its life, which can present as a charging fault

What to do right now

  • Try a different cable and a different plug that you know work
  • Shine a light into the port and compare it with the speaker grille beside it
  • Note whether it charges at an angle, intermittently, or not at all
  • Stop forcing the cable if it feels tight, because that bends contacts
The diagnostic

What we check at the bench.

  • Whether the device draws any current at all, which separates a board fault immediately
  • The port under a microscope for debris, wear and bent pins
  • The battery under load with a bench supply
  • Your own cable, because it is often the answer

Common questions.

Compacted lint in the port, which is the single most common cause and the cheapest to fix. A failed cable or charger, which fails invisibly at the strain point

Charging Port Repair starts from €80 depending on the model. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.

Often neither. The most common cause is packed lint in the port, which we clean out in a few minutes. Try a different cable and charger first. If it only charges when the cable is held at an angle, or not at all, the port itself is worn and needs replacing.

Whichever the device needs, and we tell you which after the diagnostic. A clean is quick and cheap. A worn or bent port is a soldered component on most models, so it is a bench job with heat and microscope work.

That is the classic symptom, yes, but check the cable first because a cable that has failed at the strain point does exactly the same thing. We test with both before quoting, and we will not sell you a port you do not need.

It varies by model more than any other repair. On some the port is on its own flex and lifts out; on others it is soldered to the board and needs heat and a microscope. The page price reflects which yours is.

Yes. Wireless charging uses a separate coil, so it is unaffected by port work, and a phone with a dead port that still charges wirelessly is a phone that is not urgent.

For most screen and battery work, 15 to 45 minutes, and people wait in the shop. Anything that has to come apart further, or that we want to run for a while before handing back, we tell you the day rather than guess at an hour.

No. These are hardware repairs and we do not open, copy or erase anything on the device. Back it up first anyway, because any device that already has a fault can fail further while it is being worked on.

Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts, and it does not change unless we find something else and you agree to it first.

Yes, with collection across Dublin, an invoice rather than a counter payment, and a single contact rather than a queue. There is a page for that with the details.

Walk in. We are at 4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm. Closed Sunday. You can also book online and we will confirm a slot, or ask us to collect the device anywhere in Dublin, Monday to Friday.

I had a great experience with the guys, they helped me get started with my new phone, they didn't push me to go for the most expensive items, they respected what I was looking for.

I had a great experience getting my phone fixed. The staff was friendly and efficient, and my phone works perfectly now. It was also not expensive. Highly recommend their service!

OliviaTrustpilot

Excellent experience with the team in imend. My husband 50th birthday present was a phone charger and holder for your car and it wouldn't stay attached to his Audi dash. The guys in imend put two devices together to get it working. Very happy Hubbie and wife- lovely guys to work with and they even threw in a birthday charging gift.
