Is your Pixel 6 Pro not charging properly or showing inconsistent charging? Pixel 6 Pro charging port issues are a common problem that can arise due to several reasons, such as debris, moisture, or internal damage. But before assuming the worst, there are several steps you can take to fix it. Dust, debris, moisture, or internal damage can all cause charging issues. In this guide, we’ll cover common causes, quick troubleshooting steps, and when it’s time for a professional repair.
1. Check Your Charging Cable and Adapter
Before blaming the charging port, inspect your charging accessories. A faulty cable or adapter is often the real issue.
What to Do:
- Use an original Google Pixel charger to ensure compatibility.
- Try a different USB-C cable and adapter.
- Test the charger with another device to confirm it’s working.
- Plug the charger into a different power outlet.
If your Pixel 6 Pro still won’t charge, the issue might be in the charging port itself.
2. Clean the Charging Port
Dust and debris can block the charging pins, preventing proper power transfer. A quick cleaning may solve the problem.
How to Clean the Charging Port:
- Turn off your Pixel 6 Pro before cleaning.
- Use a toothpick or soft brush to remove dust and lint.
- Blow compressed air gently into the port to clear out debris.
- Avoid using metal objects to prevent damage to the charging pins.
After cleaning, plug in the charger and check if the issue is resolved.
3. Check for Moisture or Water Damage
Google Pixel devices have built-in moisture detection, which disables charging if liquid is detected.
How to Fix It:
- If you see a moisture detected warning, unplug the charger.
- Leave the phone in a dry place for a few hours.
- Avoid using a hairdryer—it can push moisture further inside.
- Try charging with a wireless charger if available.
If your phone was exposed to water or humidity, internal damage might require professional repair.
4. Restart or Reset Your Phone
Software glitches can also cause charging issues. Restarting or resetting your phone may help.
How to Restart Your Pixel 6 Pro:
- Press and hold the Power button.
- Tap Restart and wait for the phone to reboot.
- Plug in the charger and check if it’s working.
Factory Reset (If Other Fixes Fail):
Note: This will erase all data, so back up your files first.
- Go to Settings > System > Reset Options.
- Select Erase All Data (Factory Reset).
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. Check for a Loose or Damaged Charging Port
If your Pixel 6 Pro only charges at certain angles or doesn’t charge at all, the charging port might be damaged.
Signs of a Faulty Charging Port:
- The charging cable feels loose or wobbly.
- The phone doesn’t recognize the charger.
- Charging stops intermittently.
If you suspect hardware damage, a professional repair may be necessary.
