Hard to say without looking at device, please double (triple?) check the port itself, any debris or something? Did you change the back yourself? Could also just that the connector wasn’t plugged back in correctly….

The triple check for debris was it! I gave it a good brushing and scraping… but I guess my pursed lips don’t do as good a job at dust and small debris eviction as a legit air compressor with an air pic just did! Thank you!!! There was barely anything in there… but it did the trick anyway.

Well done. Sometimes it’s the triple check if something doesn’t work but it suppose to be.

I did change the back glass myself… though i did not (at least intentionally) disconnect anything to do so. I did my best to clean the port out thoroughly… I don’t believe that is the issue, as it worked fine just previous to the back glass replacement… it also seems like if the official apple charger with official charging block works than that would suggest that it is not that the charging port is disconnect.

Thankfully I can still use wireless charging and apple certified charges with an apple powerblock… but I’d love to be able to use generic power blocks and all the MFi I already have.

Thanks very much for your suggestions.

Last resort for me would be dfu restore https://help.ifixit.com/article/108-dfu-restore It sort of resets everything, depending on how you change the back glass (did you peel of the glass and put something else instead or change the entire back case and moved all components over to it?)

It might rebalance the force again.

I peeled the glass off… Twas quite arduous, but I didn’t want to disconnect anything if I didn’t have to… and the glass replacement was super cheap.
