Is My Broken Phone Charger Safe to Use?

Asked By TechieGiraffe123 On

I'm really frustrated because my phone charging brick broke. One of the metal prongs came off, and while I can still charge my phone with it, it's a bit loose. Surprisingly, it doesn't get hot when it's plugged in, but I'm worried about whether it's safe to keep using it like this. Has anyone dealt with this before?

It sounds like you might need to replace that charger soon. While it still works, that broken prong is a bit risky since it carries the power. Using it like that could lead to short-circuits or even shocks if you touch it in the wrong way. I'd recommend getting a new one, especially since they're not too expensive at around 15 bucks.

Can you plug your phone into another device, like a laptop or a TV? Those USB ports can be a decent alternative, just might charge a bit slower! But honestly, if you have another iPhone charger somewhere, that would be a safer bet than risking the broken one.
