Iphone 4 charger port

My charger port seems to have stopped working suddenly. I have tried charging it with different chargers so it's not that, I have also tried doing a hard reset which doesn't work either. I even tried to clean out the insides in case there was dust or fluff but nothing works. 
Will I have to bring it to the apple store then? If so, my phone is still under warranty, would they fix the port itself or just give me a new phone? I'd rather keep the phone I have.  And how long would this take?
Also, would they delete everything on your phone before fixing it?  I have personal data on there that I don't want to lose (didn't back up on icloud).
Thanks!

They will replace the phone. Stores have no facilities for repair except for battery replacement and glass replacement on the iPhone 5 and later.
Is it really still in warranty? You can check here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

        Dmulrine,
    Yikes no iPhone is no fun, so lets get this fixed! If it is in fact the charger port on your device that has gone out, provided there is no physical or liquid damage, your phone can be replaced under the year manufacture warranty. Since you have already tried using a different charger and outlet the last thing you may want to try is soft reset. A soft reset can be preformed on your device by holding down the power and home button at the same time until you see the Apple symbol. Your device will then reset and you can try the charger again. If the issue still persist please feel free to contact us so we can set your device to be replaced.
    Thank you,

  • IPhone charging port burnt

    I connected my 3 months old iphone for regular charging but i got a pop up saying charging accessory not supported even though it was my regular charger which i got when i bought the iphone with the box, so i disconnected my iPhone to see the charging point on the iPhone slightly burnt. iPhone worked till the battery was exausted but it is not charging anymore.  I went to customer service center they are saying that some of the two screws are missing from the phone.
    I didn't given my phone any other service station. Also they are saying that Liquid contact indicator color changed. so Apple will not replace the phone under warranty. but i have not done anything. Please guide me what i suppose to do?

    Yo,
    We're users here, not Apple.  Why would you write "Please apple fix this problem".  Apple isn't here.  When you write statements like that, it is just a waste of your time and a waste of our time.  You might want to re-read the Terms of Use of this forum if you're unsure as to who the audience is here.

  • Iphone charging port unresponsive to everything. It just won't work at all. HELP.

    I plugged it into the wall, usb, docks, everything. Nothing happens. I can't see a water damage indicator and i cleaned out the port on my phone very well, not sure what can be done, and if need be can it be replaced at an Apple Store?

    Apple doesn't repair phones, they replace them.  If a hardware defect is found, Apple will EXCHANGE your phone.  With warranty it will be free, if you're out of warranty it will be $149

  • HT1476 why wont my iphone charge from my new computer?

    My iphone 4s will not charge from my new computer any ideas?

    Fault with new computer's USB port - does it work with other devices? Have same problem on another computer?
    Fault with cable - Tried another cable? Does cable work with other "idevices"?
    Dirt in iPhone charging port - look and clean out gently with soft dry toothbrush or similar
    Fault with iPhone - reset / restore
    Take your choice.

  • Dust in charging port

    There is a little dust inside the charging port of my white iphone 4s, does this mean that over time it wont charge?

    An easy way to clean the iPhone charging port is to carefully clean with a clean dry toothbrush.

  • IPhone Charging is Iffy

    Alright so the other day my iPhone (original) was rapidly going in and out of charge state even though it was remaining plugged in, so I looked at a whole bunch of forums that suggested to clean out where the dock plugs into the iphone (the little inlet).
    I used a small metal thing attached to my nail clipper and found a whole bunch of lint inside there. I got most (if not all) of it out, and put it back on.
    The iPhone wouldn't charge, I wiggled it a bit and it would charge, then go off some seconds later. Eventually I got it to where it'll charge, but randomly it will pop out and in of charge state every second or two until I wiggle it again.
    Plugging it into a cord instead of the dock seems to help, but it still happens sometimes. I'm afraid it might be something unfixable (as the iPhone's warranty is up).
    Please help!

    Clean the iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush.

  • My iphone 5 will not charge? i noticed it was taking a few attempts to charge since i installed ios7,but recently it stopped working all together i though it may be the charging port so i have had that replaced but that still hasn't worked

    my iphone 5 wont charge? I started to have difficulties charging it when I downloaded ios7 and over time it started to become more and more of a problem, then yesterday I thought it might have been the charging port so I got that replaced but it is still not charging. even with both of my chargers and a friends charger it didn't charge, does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? if its ios7 or the hardware? and what should I do i am still within warranty but I'm not sure if that still counts since it has had a part replaced, or would the apple store be able to help me out?

    Replacing the charging port (which is NOT user serviceable) has voided your warranty with Apple, and forfeited your abiltity to receive any further support on that phone, including from this forum.
    You'll need to look elsewhere for assistance.

  • My charging port on iPhone 4S is really dirty from previous owner. It's more than dust. It's affected the charging to where it won't charge anymore. How can I safely clean this out? Or will I have to go get it cleaned or something by apple? Thanks.

    I bought my iPhone 4S from a friend and noticed right away that inside the charging port it's really dirty. It didn't affect anything so I didn't think much of it. Now though, it is not allowing my phone to charge at all. I've tried multiple chargers, adapters, and wall plug-ins and it doesn't change. It still won't charge. I'm not sure as to go about cleaning it. I don't want to scratch the part that connects to the charger. So how would I clean it, and would I need to just go to apple and let them deal with it?
    Thanks.

    Are you sure it is not corrosion/rust from moisture damage?

  • Found a dead spider in my charging port (iphone 4) this morning. Now phone wont charge at all... What can I do? It's now all totally cleared of lint and legs :/

    This morning my phone wouldnt charge, I tried three different charging cables. They are lighting up to show they are working, but the phone does not charge or show a symbol or connect to the computer.
    So i cleaned out the lint from inside the charging port. and inside all the chargers, some of them were new off the shelf so would not be the problem.
    I found a dead spider inside the port. Have blown into it, thoroughly cleaned with a needle any debris and fluff and spider legs etc...
    It still wont charge. I have ten percent battery... it's off for now. It is not covered for a chat with apple at all, unless i pay $40 which is crazy expensive.
    Any ideas of what to do to save this phone? Obviously i cant back it up because it wont plug in to anything.
    For now it is not on charge, just trying to let it dry out.
    Probably i squashed this spider when plugging it in. therefore there could be spider guts all ruining the inside? I don't know how the ports are made. Up until not charging
    there were no issues at all.

    Hi lisellemono1,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having charging issues with your iPhone; I know how frustrating that can be. Based on your description and the possibility that there may be other debris or residue still in the charging port, you may need to have your iPhone evaluated or serviced.

  • Is Apple going to address the issue with the IPhone 5 charger port?

    Hi all
    I have had an IPhone for about 4 years and have had my current iPhone 5 for just over a year,I never had any problems until recently. Just before Christmas I started having issues with my IPhone not charging, I bought a new charger and the problem continued so I went into the Apple store in Newcastle, they pulled some dust out of the charger port and the issue appeared to be resolved. However after Christmas it happened again, and again I went to the Apple store, they did the same thing and the phone worked fine for a month. However, this last week the problem has come back, this time when I took the phone into the store, they tried pulling dust out the port but the phone would still not charge, I was then told that as the phone is out of warranty there is nothing they can do other than charge me £209 to fix it!!
    What concerns me is that after speaking to other iPhone users and doing some online research I have discovered this is a seriously common problem. So now through no fault of my own, I am left with a phone, which doesn't work and costs me £48 a month. Another concern is that I originally took the phone to the store with this problem before my warranty ran out and was given a 'temporary fix', which made the phone last untill just after my warranty has ran out!
    I am angry and disappointed, this issue needs to be addressed as the Phones appear to be like a ticking time bomb waiting to break, and for those of you like me, who this happens to you after the warranty is up, you are elft with no solution other than to pay £209!!!!

    Or talk to the store manager or Apple Customer Relations and explain that you brought the phone in twice before the warranthy expired for the same problem and that there was no permanent solution, though if clearing out the debris fixed it previously, it's perhaps unlikely that they'll think it a defect. You can try, though. Just complaining here will accomplish nothing since we're all fellow users in these forums.
    Regards.

  • My iphone wont charge can the charging port be repaired or replaced

    my iphone wont charge can the charging port be replaced or repaired

    Apple does not repair devices at all.
    As stated, you can elect to find a local repair shop to do the work, but understand that Apple does not sell parts either.
    Alternatively, you can choose to do an Out of Warranty replacement via Apple and get a 90 day warranty on the replacement device.
    Another option would be to replace the device with a more current model.

  • Why won't my Nissan Xterra charging port charge my iphone 5?

    Why won't my Nissan Xterra 12v charging port charge my iphone 5?

    You should probably direct that question to Nissan. Are you using an Apple-approved charger cable? If you are, then you definitely need to ask Nissan. If you are not, then you need to purchase one that has been approved by Apple for it to work.

  • Soap gel in iPhone 4 charging port

    Soap gel entered in the charging port of my iPhone 4 . I tried drying it with tissue . Kept in rice for 10 hrs . Sound is gone . I cannot make  the volume buttons make any change on the ringer icon !! No music can be heard . Phone seems to work like in silent mode !! Please help .

    Sure, as long as the paper doesn't tear and leave a piece behind. A new toothbrush is the preferred cleaning tool. Or a blast from a can of air.
