iPhone does not fit in base but works with car charger

Hello

I did a couple searches and could not find what I was looking for.

My iPhone (naked with no case) does not sit all the way into its stock charging base and will not make a connection. BUT the strange part is my Griffin charger fits in with no trouble and allows me to charge it.

I blew some air into the bottom of the phone and it looks clean and fine. Both male plugs look identical except the stock base does not have the side locking clips. I even tried another brand new base and it did not work either. Its like something is in there that is only affected when using the stock base.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

 

No ideas on this huh?
