Introduction
Use this guide to clean the ports on your favorite electronic device.
If your device isn't registering something being plugged into a port, e.g.,like a USB-A flash drive, that same port may be dirty and require cleaning.
The cleaning procedures for each type of port follow the same progression: cleaning with air, a brush, and finally a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. Although similar, the procedures do vary slightly, and you should read the steps for the type of port you're cleaning.
This guide uses tools that you might have around the house, but we also sell a [product|IF145-523|Precision Cleaning Kit|new_window=true] that includes some small brushes and picks to make your cleaning life easier.
