Check the port for dirt and debris. Try another cable to make sure it’s not cable related as well.

Has the port been abused somehow, such as forcing the cable plug incorrectly. Or using the wrong cable or a counterfeit with incorrect plug? Maybe try raising or straightening the pins?

Do you have Applecare or is it under warranty? I had problems with the male connecter on my iPad. Applecare replaced the iPad.
