iPhone 7 Plus: How do I fix a loose charging port without replacement?

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 23:23:20 -0700

The charging cable was pulled at an angle and it wasn't removed properly. Now when a charging cable is inserted, it goes in but there is no audible click and is loosely fitting. Is there a way to fix this without a port replacement? Is there a way to bend something in the connector so it grips the lightning plug more?

I think it's the wings inside of the lighting plug that are loose but is there a way to bend it inward without a device disassembly? I have a photo of what I am referring to below.

iPhone 7 Plus: WhatsApp Verification Stuck After Phone Change

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 04:14:42 -0700

Hi, I recently bought a new Mi Ultra 11 Android phone and installed WhatsApp. When I logged in, I expected my chats to transfer automatically from my IPhone 7plus. After several login attempts, I tried to log back in on my iPhone, but I keep receiving the message: “We couldn’t send you an SMS, please wait 1 hour.” I waited more than one hour, but the same issue continues. Call verification is also not working. Could you please help me resolve this issue and regain access to my account?

iPhone 7 Plus: iPhone 7 Plus keeps searching for service

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 04:45:08 -0700

I received an iPhone 7 Plus to repair and resell. It isn’t set up yet, but it keeps searching for a signal, while the sim card isn't inserted. Inserting a sim card doesn't make a difference though, it keeps searching for a signal. When I try to set the phone up, it tells me "Unable to Activate" (see the picture below). Does anyone know what the problem might be and what I should check? What should I check with my multimeter? Is this the baseband chip that's causing problems? I am new to logic board repair / micro soldering, but I do want to do it myself and I got the equipment.
