Battery not charging after dock connector replacement, iPhone4

Hi all,
My iPhone4 suffered mild water damage (water damage indicator not triggered) and misbehaved on that day. So I turned off the device and put it in a bag of rice for almost a month. When I eventually took it out, it was almost as good as before except for some weird quirks. One of them is the audio control. I can listen to music using headphone jack, but cannot listen through speakers. I see some corrosion on my dock charger. I am still able to connect to iTunes and charge using cables. I know my speakers works as I am able to hear the phone ring. However increasing and decreasing volume shows only the ringer icon with no bars underneath. Upon searching online I found out (in another thread on this website) that the phone could believe it is connected to some kind of docking device. I tried cleaning the dock using a brush, but no use.
So I took some time and replaced the dock connector. After I finished re-assembly and turned on my phone, I noticed that my audio issue is resolved. I am now able to adjust volume using the buttons and can see the volume level (bars) go up or down. Also I can listen to the music from the speakers. However it is not syncing/charging.
Logically this can mean two likely issues (1) I have a faulty dock connector (2) I messed up my battery during disassembly (The battery flex connector was too tight and while I was removing it with the plastic spudger, it popped up suddenly and caused my spudger to go in a tad too far. My flex cable did not rip off and I didnt see any broken pieces, so I assumed nothing bad happened, but I am not sure).
If my dock connector is faulty, then my audio problem should not have been resolved correct? Because the logic board would not know that I have a new clean dock connector installed. This is what I am assuming, I am not sure. If some one could clarify this assumption, that would be great.
Of course this leads me to believe that I messed up my battery. I don't have a spare battery to try out, need to buy one.
Meanwhile I have a spare dock connector to try out. I am not sure if that is going to help. I am hoping someone in this community and say that it is obviously one problem or the other. If not, I will go through the dock connector replacement again and hope it all works out.
Also does anyone know if I can just plug in the new dock connector to the logic board and try syncing (of course with the battery connected) while my phone is still open (and the other components have not been removed)? This would seem like a nice quick test prior to going through the full repair. I am not sure if this is safe.
Thank you very much

iPhones are not user servicable. Apple does NOT sell iPhone parts. Any parts you can possibly get for them have one of three possiblie origins:
1) Counterfeit
2) Stolen
or
3) salvaged from other iPhones, almost always phones that don't work for one reason or another.
We can't advise you on how to fix your phone.
Apple won't touch that phone any more.
Either look for advice someplace like ifixit.com, find a competent repair shop, or dispose of it and buy a new phone.
EVERY single documented case of an iPhone catching fire or exploding can be traced directly to damage caused by a botched repair by an unqualified person.
Is it safe? No. Your phone is not safe. It will never be "safe" again.

Macbook battery not charging after software update

I was doing some work on my MacBook (4,1) with the charger plugged in and the lid closed (I was using my TV as a montior. There was a software update for itunes and a few others and now it's saying the battery needs to be serviced!
The battery currently has 62% charge, i've not disconnected the charger once in teh few hours I was working. Anyone got any ideas as to what could cause this?
The change to needing the battery serviced was not straight after the update, I don't think so anyway. I've not really noticed it until I went to pick up my MacBook and it all started to go haywire. It because unresponsive, black screen etc.
I've tried to reset the SMC and i've checked the charge cycyles too and it's about 250 so there's no problem there. It's just annoying as this is the 3rd battery i've had for this macbook, the other two being replaced under warranty. Now the warranty is up and it needs chaging for a 4th time!

Hi imi_uk,
I see you marked this question as "solved" is that the case?
If not, are you able to startup your computer via "safe boot" by holding the SHIFT key on startup (until the Apple logo appears and the gear appears below it).
The next step, would also be to boot off the system restore disc that came with your computer and attempt to repair the volume (the internal HD) via the the built-in disc utility.

Battery Not Charging after 10.6.8 Update (Macbook Pro 13' i5 2011)

Hi,
I own a 4 months old Macbook Pro 13in with i5 processor. I was using it normally until yesterday, when a software update prompting for enhancements on thunderbolt drivers and some stuff regarding OS X Lion was displayed. I started the software update, let the macbook plugged in and went to sleep.
Today I found out that my battery is not charging anymore (when plugged in, the magsafe led lights green and the energy saver displays Not Charging). I've already tried to restart SMC to no result(unplugged, waited for 15 sec, plugged again and after 5 sec turned it on).
Basically, my macbook is now useless. I use it mainly in the college, cant have it always plugged in and my second half classes start tomorrow!
I dont have a time machine backup.
I dont want to open the macbook since its still under warranty. What should I do?

Fairly new battery not charging after not being used for a while

My computer (Elitebook 2530p) has not been used for a while, perhaps a month or two. The battery used to hold for over 3 hours of light use.
Now, the battery won't charge with the message "0% available (plugged in, not charging)"
I can't find a battery refresh utility in the BIOS, or any way to interact with the battery. Is there something I'm missing? Should the battery just go dead after not being used for a while?
Update: fixed typo

I've run the HP battery check and got the code REOOW. Battery is dead, and I am out of warranty. I can't think of any possible reason why this should have happened.
What does this code (REOOW) mean?

MBP battery "Not Charging" after RAM upgrade

I brought my MBP into an apple store for the genius bar to install a 4g RAM upgrade, after i got it back it will not run on battery power. Its plugged in with green light on power adapter and battery indicates (0%) (Not Charging). Please help. My battery worked fine before bringing it into the apple store.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This sounds like the RAM installed was either not to spec, faulty, or the installer missed a step. Take it back to the store and indicate to them what happened.

Macbook Pro battery not charging after getting new charger

Dog ate through my Macbook pro's charger, so I went to the apple store and bought a new charger. The big one, that states it is for Macbook Pros. 85w, I think?
Anyway. The Pro runs on the charger, but its battery is not charging.
I suppose it is possible the battery just up and died, but that would be a heck of a coincidence that it happened the moment I got a new adapter.
Do all adapters labelled for macbook pros charge all macbook pro batteries?

I had recently the same issue : my battery didn't want to charge anymore. I bought a new charger. Same problem. The battery didn't want to charge (a message near the battery icon at top right of the screen : "battery is not charging").
I tried the SMC thing. Ever the same problem.
I checked I got the latest firmware for my MacBook Pro Unibody mid-2009 (with the non-removable battery). I got it.
My battery was less than 2 years old and got only 138 cycles.
And the green light on the charger was not so shining as usual.
Before going to an Apple Store, I just tried to clean my MacBook Pro power connecter.
And... It works !
The Power connector was just dirty.
Now my battery is charging again.

Battery not charging after upgrade to 10.4.9

Ever since I did the last system update, my battery is not charging.
My light is yellow, and the indicator in the menu bar states that I am connected to AC.
The charger is warm, the battery is cool to the touch, and has a single indicator light illuminated.
This is the original battery, but has always charged (albeit, it only lasted about 20 minutes).
I suspect that the system upgrade may be a factor.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Boris

NewerTech's batteries offer the highest capacity and thus the longest working time on a charge. You pay a premium for the extra oomph.
I haven't seen any preponderance of enthusiastic messages posted here about any particular brand or vendor. You certainly don't need to spend $120; new Tibook batteries are advertised as low as $80-90 by some vendors. I've never bought from any of the following, but they may be worth a look or call:

Of course it isn't — you've just drained it. Plug your AC adapter in and charge it up again.

2011 MacBook Pro Battery Not Charging

17" 2011 MacBook Pro 2.2ghz i7 8GB RAM (upgraded OWC), 128GB SSD (in optical bay), and stock 750 GB HD. Running Lion. Battery cycle count: 15
Battery is not charging after a heavy GPU or CPU load (gaming, editing, HD movie streaming). Tried multiple SMC resets and a PRAM reset. It was charging after you let it sit for several hours. I sent it into Apple for a repair and was rejected because of the missing optical drive (that's another story), anyhow, when it came back it won't charge at all. Battery says (not charging) but running on AC power. The Magsafe light is not lit. The Magsafe port was replaced on the computer, but that didn't fix it.
Trying to avoid having to reformat and send into Apple (change it back to stock config).
Anyone have a solution?

The battery can't be charged when the cpu is under full load because in that situation it is using power from the battery. Shut the MBP down (not sleep) to see if it will charge in that mode.

IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update

iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??

Hello, 92.romil.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad. If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help. The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad.
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

Ipad2 will not charge after ios7

Tried reset many times. Tried several apple cords.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Ipad mini not charging after 6.1.2 ios update

I just updated my pad to the latest ios, then what i noticed is that it can't charge anymore. Charging is is still possible through laptop though but it's TOO SLOW... this is surely because of the update... what can we do... hopefully apple fixes this SOON...

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.

DV4 1275 Power Issue, Battery not charging, Will not Power with AC only

HP Pavillion DV4-1275mx
Battery will not charge, Laptop will not fully turn on with battery in (battery not charging at all). Laptop will not power on at all with no battery using only AC and with battery it will attempt to load and die due to lack of charge.
Have tried 3 diff HP chargers.
The orginial 1 that came with the laptop is dead and will not charge anything. Tried it on a diff HP laptop and not recognizing any power
The 2nd one is OE HP laptop diff model but same wattage that came with my gfs work laptop. I have charge my laptop with it before in the past however it is not charging the battery now either
The 3rd is a aftermarket generic one that my g/f bought in the airport and it works with hers as well however I have never used it on mine.
I have tried hard resetting.. taking out battery, holding power for a min and replugging everything.
Also when I remove the battery and plug in either of the chargers that do work the power LED are "not" lighting up on the front or the LED where the AC plugs into the laptop. Which makes you think the charger is bad however the 2 working chargers do work on my other 2 HP laptops.
If i plugin one of the 2 working chargers with the battery it will go through the boot process and as its starting windows it just dies and shuts off. The power led by the DC jack does light up and the charging light on the front lights up. However this only works when I unplug the battery and plug the AC charger in. After the laptop boots up to starting windows and dies. I have to remove the battery and replace it to get the LEDS to light back up.. If the MB was bad I wouldnt think any of the LED's would come on nor would the laptop boot up to the starting windows. If keep trying to turn it on the booting time is shortened as the battery is not holding a charge and sometimes it only makes a few seconds and then just dies out.
I dont have alot of money to spend so I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction.
Should I buy the replacement part OE charger for my specific laptop? (not sure if its going to be much diff than the others since they are all 65 watt chargers)
Should I buy a new battery as well?
Or does this sound like a short problem in the mother board or a solder issue with the DC plugin?
If it is an issue with the motherboard I do not want to go through the hassle of buying the battery and charger as I will end up having to just replace the laptop
If you could please advise me what direction to go I would be so greatful.

Dude, I have the same exact problem with mine. It's not a cheap fix either. It definitely is the motherboard.
I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is a dead capacitor on the motherboard preventing it to build up a charge.
I spoke with an HP rep, which told me it's $398 for them to fix.
I let them know that I didn't have another $400 to put into this laptop. So, they suggested I try reseating the motherboard. And also reseating the memory modules.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01597750.pdf
That is a pdf of the laptop's manual. It'll help in reseating. Page ( 59 ) for the motherboard. Page ( 67 ) for the memory modules.
This hasn't helped at all with mine, but maybe it'll help with yours!
