I used a safety pin (bigger one, about 1.5"), and pushed the pointed pin at the side, pushing the latch that holds the connector on the side. Show I just keep doing this on either side, and pull back again. One time after pushing it deep inside, when i pulled it, that side of the broken piece lifted up. So I knew it was possible. kept doing this until one time the broken piece turned 90 deg. so then i was able to use a thin long nose and pull it out. The whole trial process took ~ 30 mins, with breaks in between. Good thing is since i did that on the sides only, the connector is still ok, and charging still. Just be patient. And yes, at times the pin would bend ... good luck ! Title pretty much says it all, I have a Huawei P20 if that helps. Edit: also it's a USB-C port level 1 Is it like lint or something? Maybe try using a needle. level 2 Already tried. And yes, it is something like lint, though it's really stuck there. level 1 Toothpick or keyboard putty (be careful you don't get the putty stuck inside and make worse). Keyboard putty got chocolate out of my usb c. level 1 I had the same thing happen but it was more solid like food stuck. You could try to pick it out with a sowing needle or 2. Even a tack works. level 1 precision tweezers have been my go to utensil for removing shit from inside usb ports. they are pretty cheap on amazon, just be careful with the tips cus they blunt if you look at them funny level 1 Depends what it is honestly. If it can be melted with solvents, You can try turning off the device, removing the battery, and then putting a tiny drop of rubbing alcohol onto a qtip and cleaning it out. level 2 The phone is sealed so there's no way to actually get the battery out, unless I were to force it which I don't really want to do, just in case I break something. level 1 If you have a piece of paper stuck or maybe a rock, use a toothpick or maybe a interdental pick that is used for braces. level 1 A toothbrush and some 99% isopropyl alcohol might work. level 1 Use a hammer. Ussualy does the trick. Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new
question. Question: Question: Rice stuck in charging portthere is a piece of rice stuck in the charging port, how do I get it out? iPhone 6s, iOS 13 Posted on Jul 11, 2020 7:36 PM All replies
Jul 11, 2020 7:38 PM in response to sunita115 In response to sunita115 Honestly best I can tell you is to take it into an Apple store or an authorized service center and having them do it, otherwise you risk damaging the port:
https://locate.apple.com And if you put it in rice because it got wet, you probably have a bigger issue than a grain of rice stuck in the port, so having them check it out would be the best bet all around anyway. Jul 11, 2020 7:38 PM Jul 11, 2020 7:48 PM in response to sunita115 In response to sunita115 You can try to carefully coax it out, with a non conductive object such as a plastic or wooden toothpick. Move it around carefully and see if you can dislodge it. Jul 11, 2020 7:48 PM
User profile for user: sunita115 Question: Rice stuck in charging port iPhone charging port (Image credit: Joseph Keller/iMore) There are several reasons why your iPhone might be having issues with charging. We've got a comprehensive guide on how to troubleshoot charging problems. You might have a bad cable or need to restore your software. You might even need to replace your charging port. Sometimes, though, the only problem with your charging port is that it's hella dirty. Products used in this guide
How did my charging port get so dirty?My experience: I was having trouble getting my iPhone to charge properly. It would charge or uncharge randomly, and sometimes not at all. After determining that the issue was not a faulty cable, I went straight for the cleaning supplies. My port was really packed with pocket lint. It had gathered dirt and debris over time, and I would push it against the back of the port every time I plugged in his charging cable. Eventually, a small wall of dirt kept the charging cable from properly engaging with the pins inside the port. Hence, the charging issues. Lesson learned: Before you spend a lot of time and money troubleshooting hardware or software charging issues, try cleaning the lint and gunk out of your port. There's a chance that you have everything you need right at home to clean it out. What you needFlashlight, toothpicks, and cottonYou might think that a quick shot with compressed air will do the trick. Maybe, especially if you've only got a slight amount of dust in your charging port, but sometimes, cramming your Lightning cable into the port mashes the gunk in there so much that a spurt of air just doesn't do the trick. Plus, Apple recommends not using compressed air (opens in new tab) when cleaning your iPhone, so it's better to avoid the stuff altogether. Luckily, the things you need to clean out your iPhone's charging port can probably be found lying around the house.
How to clean your charging portAt first glance, you might not be able to see the built-up dirt in your port. Even with a flashlight, it can be difficult to see into that tiny chasm. The key is in poking and scraping very lightly until you've dislodged some dirt. Things get easier after that. Note: Pay special care when cleaning around the charging pins, so you don't accidentally damage them. Otherwise, you might end up having to replace the port entirely, which is not a better position to be in.
You might have to blow into the port in-between scrapings to get some of the loose lint and dirt out of the way. When you think you've cleaned the port out, connect your iPhone to the charging cable again and see if it worked. If not, repeat the steps above until it works, or until you've determined that the problem is not a dirty port, at which point, you can run through the troubleshooting steps. Proper iPhone hygieneTo keep your iPhone in good shape and working order, it's a good idea to keep some useful cleaning tools handy; whether it's for getting out the gunk in your charging port or just keeping the surface shiny and new, these are the cleaning products I personally use. GoodCo toothpicks(opens in new tab) GoodCo Flat Bamboo Toothpicks (opens in new tab) ($7 at Amazon) You need something small to stick into the Lightning port, but you do not want to use anything metal. Flat toothpicks with rounded tips are ideal for this situation. Cotton Balls (Image credit: Amazon)(opens in new tab) Perfect Stix - Cotton Balls (opens in new tab) ($7 at Amazon) To give your cleaning tool (the toothpick) some added cushioning, a bit of cotton wrapped around the tip will do. You will only need a very small piece as too much will not work. SOS solar flashlight(opens in new tab) SOS Solar Flashlight (opens in new tab) ($20 at Amazon) It's nearly impossible to see inside your iPhone's Lightning port, but a flashlight with a focused beam can help. Whoosh Screen Cleaner (Image credit: Amazon)(opens in new tab) Woosh! (opens in new tab) (From $10 at Amazon) Apple also recommends that you don't use liquid cleaners on your iPhone, but Woosh is alcohol and ammonia-free, so it is less abrasive. Just be sure to use it sparingly and not every day. PhoneSoap 3(opens in new tab) PhoneSoap 3 (opens in new tab) ($80 at Amazon) For a truly clean iPhone, destroy all the germs with this UV phone sanitizer. It doesn't clean out your iPhone's charging port, but it does give you germ-free peace-of-mind. Lory is a renaissance woman, writing news, reviews, and how-to guides for iMore.

How do I get something out of my charging port iPhone?Turn off your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Shut Down. Grab a small toothpick, or roll a paper or cotton product into a small tip. Carefully insert the tip into the port and jiggle it to loosen dirt or debris. Give the port another burst of compressed air to help remove anything you've loosened.
How do you get something unstuck from a charging port?A cotton swab or toothpick—these items are soft and can fit into small spaces, making them less likely to cause physical damage to the charging port. Compressed air or bulb syringe—the air from these items can loosen and extract debris so you don't have to insert anything in the charging port.
