One of the most common problems on smartphones is the loss of signal or the drop in quality of the network connection. This can be caused by several factors, such as problems with the device's antenna or dirt that has accumulated in the antenna connector.
To solve this problem, you can clean the smartphone's antenna connector. For this, it is necessary to be careful and follow some guidelines.
Step by step for cleaning the antenna connector:
- Turn off your smartphone and remove the battery if possible;
- Locate the antenna connector, which is usually next to the battery;
- With a soft bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, remove accumulated dirt from the connector;
- If the dirt is heavily impregnated, use a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the connector;
- Allow the connector to dry completely before replacing the battery and turning the smartphone back on.
It is important to point out that, in some cases, cleaning the antenna connector may not solve the problem of signal loss or a drop in the quality of the network connection. In these cases, it is advisable to seek out a specialized professional to carry out a more detailed assessment of the device.
Also, it is important to take some care to prevent the antenna connector from accumulating dirt again. Avoid using your smartphone in very dusty places and protect the device with protective covers and films.
