For most laptops, the USB ports do not receive power when the laptop is in sleep state or has been turned off. Therefore, you need to make sure that your laptop is in working condition.

4. Reboot your iPhone and laptop

To start up iPhone, first turn off the device by pressing and holding the power button until the "Slide to power off" icon appears. Then slide the icon to the right, the machine will automatically turn off. After the machine is off, continue holding the power button until the Apple logo appears to turn the device on.

In case you have an iPhone X or later, the power off is done by holding down the power button (on the right side of the phone) and the volume up button (on the left side) at the same time.

5. Try connecting the iPhone to the laptop using a different USB cable

Another cause of iPhone not entering power is a damaged charging cable. In other cases this error can also be caused by a problem with the charging port.

Now you need to clean the iPhone charging cable port to remove dust or try to connect the iPhone to the laptop with another USB cable and check if the iPhone charger is plugged in.

6. Connect the iPhone to another computer device

If all the above methods still do not fix the error of iPhone not charging when charging via laptop, try connecting and charging iPhone on another computer. Rest assured that this will not harm your mobile device.

Hopefully the above article has provided you with useful information.
