Broken Iphone 5 Charge Port

One morning I put my phone on charge as normal but it wouldnt recongize the charger and didnt charge at all. I took it to my local phone shop to have a look to see if it was the charger or the phone. He said it was the charge port so next step I phoned apple its under warranty and i sent it away to get sorted.
I recently got and email saying I could get my phone back broken or pay £180 !!!
After calling i got told that it was my fault it was broken as a pin inside the charge port was broken !! and iv only had the phone a month.
can anyone recommend what i can do now ?
Dont i have some rights under the "Sales of goods act" as its not fit for purpose
Thanks

Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • Ipod Touch 4Gen has broken/bent charger port....

    Alright so for a few weeks now my ipod has had odd time connecting to itunes and will not even really connect at all to my radio/dock, but luckily it still charges through the computer through the USB cord but it will connect/disconnect several times for awhile and other times it just stays connected. So I looked at the charger port and I noticed it has little metal wires that rest against a black plastic piece and part of the black part it rests on was broken off and in that area some of the metal wires were bent and one or two possibly were broken off but definitely had some bent ones. I typed in my serial number at apple's site and it said my limited warranty is still good for another week so I want to know if I can get it fixed for free if it covers it and if I can't get it fixed free than what is the cost for repairing that part?

    If not caused by abuse, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one at no cost. Otherwise the exchange price is $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • Iphone charger port help needed

    So, i tried to plug my phone into the cable becuase it was about to die. when i plugged it into the cable it wasnt charger. i did everything possibel, switched outlets,changed chargers nothing is working. i think the little connector on the inside is messed up and im not sure what to do. Is this covered in the warinty or not? i need help asap. any help or leads would be very appreciated. Thanks

        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.

  • The charger port pin in an iphone 5 is broken. What are the possible solutions to this issue?

    The charger port pin in an iphone 5 is broken. What are the possible solutions to this issue?

    Read: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4436
    It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
    Symptoms
    A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
    Resolution
    Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

  • My iPhone 5c and iPad mini won't charge. Can both charger ports be broken at the same time?

    MMy iPhone 5c is dead and wont charge. My iPad mini also won't charge. So I thought it was my charge wire or charging block might be the proble. I've used other wores and other blocks and also plugged it into by laptop and neither are charging. So it would see that the charging port is broken on both. But it seems odd that both would break on the same day. Both are under a year old and I only ever use official Apple charging devises. Help!

    Good day Hollixd,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone 5c and iPad mini are not charging. It does seem odd that both devices are not charging from multiple chargers.
    There are a few more steps that may help you charge your devices. Next, I'd try steps 1, 2, 4 and 5 from the article If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
    Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
    If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
    Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
    If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
    If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If your devices still don't charge after trying all of these steps, the article suggests contacting Apple Support:
    If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • Broken Charging Port

    Hi,
    I am with Bell. Last year i had boughten my first bb in April, a blackberry Style.
    Four months later the charging port broke. First it started off that I needed to have the cable on a certain angle to charge then it stopped working altogether.
    I sent my phone away to be repaired and it was returned "un repairable" and "damage was caused due to dropping" which was absolutely not true being that I am incredibly careful with my devices and I kept a hard case on it that I went to the states specifically for and also only had it for 4 months!
    Needless to say I was furious with this answer, especially since Blackberry or Bell did notthing but tell me I needed to buy a new one because it was not covered in my warranty.
    After my contract is up with Bell I will be switching to Rogers and possibly switching to Team IPhone (unfortunately) if i cannot find a good blackberry or a solution to my broken BB Style.
    Someone help me.

    Our BB Style had this same problem. We went to the store and were told it was probably corrosion in the battery terminal but because it was a BB it couldn't even be looked at in store and had to be sent out and would cost at least $100 to fix (even thought we pay Sprint $8/month for insurance).
    They were so interested in discouraging us to get it fixed and telling us that if it were water or something we would have to pay the full replacement value ($600) for the phone. He kept trying to sell us a new iPhone and their were no other BB phones to even demo in the store.
    We went to a Radio Shack and wound up getting a lower price iPhone but are upset that BB wasn't represented in almost any store and were told our insurance was worthless.
    Is this the type of relationship BB wants with its field sales force?
    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    It does sound like whoever you spoke to was very poorly trained. But do be advised that the shop you went to was not a RIM store...it was a Sprint store, and they are a separate entity from RIM. They contract to sell BBs and BB services, but they are not RIM. So, it sounds like, if you wish to pursue a complaint path, that path would be with Sprint, would it not?
    But, perhaps you wish for RIM to notice this issue...if that's your goal, I hope it's attained here. Just be aware that these forums are a user-to-user community, not a user-to/from-RIM formal communication channel.
    Good luck!
