Is your phone stubbornly refusing to charge, leaving you staring at a rapidly dwindling battery? Don't panic! Many common culprits could be to blame. First, **check the charging cable and adapter**. A frayed cable or faulty adapter are prime suspects. Try a different cable and charger to rule them out.
Next, **inspect the charging port.** Lint, dust, or debris can prevent a solid connection. Use a can of compressed air or a toothpick (gently!) to clean it out.
**Software glitches** can also sometimes be the problem. Try restarting your phone. A simple reboot can often resolve temporary software bugs. If that doesn't work, consider checking for software updates.
Lastly, **battery health** deteriorates over time. If your phone is old, the battery may simply be nearing the end of its lifespan and unable to hold a charge efficiently. If you've tried everything else, this might be the reason. If none of these fix your phone not charging, it might be time to consult a professional or consider a replacement.
