Has anyone ever replaced the iphone 4 dock connector

i have an iphone that is 35 days old and somehow the charging port is messed up.  the store wants $ 160 to turn in claim and we did nothing wrong to the phone. has anybody bought the $15 part online and changed this out themselves? it looks easy on utube but am tired of throwing money out the window.

If your iPhone is 35 days old it is still under warranty.  You can call Apple Care if you're not near an Apple store to send you in a mailer.
If there is truly a manufacturing defect, your phone will be replace free of charge.

  • Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

    It's highly likely that there is a poor connection in the phone - either a pin in the dock connector or internal wiring harness.  No software fixes or "tricks" would work, but I would recommend restoring in iTunes, first using a backup and if needed restore as a new phone. 
    Otherwise, opening and repairing the phone takes some tech knowledge that can't be relayed here.  Apple doesn't repair phones other than replacing batteries (not inconceivable that you have a bad battery), but offers "out-of-warranty" replacement (refurb) phones for $149 (US).  3rd party iPhone repair centers may be able to fix it for less.  Google to find them,
    Tried soft and hard resets
    FYI, there's no such thing as "soft" or "hard" resets in iPhone terminology.  There is only one phone reset. You'll see those terms thrown around by technically ignorant posters, but they mean different things to different people and are actually archaic, 1980s PC terms that have nothing to do with iPhones.

  • Placing, and receiving calls through the iPhone's dock connector.

    Can calls be placed and received through the iPhone's dock connector?
    For example, assume you have a device, with two connectors, an iPhone dock, and a telephone jack. The device would allow you to connect a standard phone, cordless phone base station, fax machine, etc, and make calls using your iPhone cell service instead of you landline.

    No, that can not be done.

  • Has anyone ever had the glass replaced on an ipod touch

    Has anyone had the glass replaced on an ipod touch?  If so, did you go directly through Apple and was it expensive??

    Apple will not replace the glass.  Instead, they will replace your iPod for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    There are third-party places that may be less expensive.  Here is one.  Google for others.

  • Has anyone ever had their Iphone 3GS jsut shut off repeatedly?

    My Iphone 3GS has begun shutting off for no apparent reason. I can be surffing the internet and have sufficient battery and it will just shut off. Has anyone else experiences this?

    I'm sure there are people who have had this problem. I haven't however. But I don't see how finding that other people have had the problem will help you fix yours.
    A Restore with iTunes may fix it. If it doesn't do the Restore again and do not reload your backup. If that fixes it the backup is corrupt.

  • Has anyone noticed that the iphones set up system on itunes is down?

    My iphone will not set up online on itunes, It is the original iphone, it has worked before but not now, anyone know what to do?

    The iTunes store is up and running..
    Try resetting.   Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

  • Has anyone who ordered the iPhone checked their account online?

    I ordered the iPhone this morning at 2:50am.  This morning I checked my online account on vzw.com and it
     still says I have my LG Dare and that I'm eligible for an upgrade.  I'm thinking they used a totally different
     ordering system and they just arent synced yet?
    Anyone else notice this?  Also, my order status says 'shipped'. 

    Mine says the samething. It also says shipped .

  • Blu-Ray: Anyone ever replace the cd drive with a after market blu-ray drive

    I have replaced cd drives in the older iBooks and back then they used a standard cd rom drive.
    Anyone know if you can put an aftermarket laptop blu-ray drive in a MacBook?

    I don't recommend you do that. I wouldn't trust rumors, but here is one for you. People have said that Apple might be releasing new macs with blu-ray support. So I don't recommend you replace the drive. Let me tell you again, it's only a rumor, so don't count on it.

  • Has anyone ever had an iphone delivered damaged?

    if i phone them up and say the iphone4 came with a small dent in the phone - will they believe me?
    im telling the truth ofcourse..
    anyone had to send one back for refund before?
    i had it delivered thursday - of course they may ask why have you taken so long to contact us?
    any suggestions?

    not to start anything, but you just answered your own question. they will ask you how come you are just now calling instead of when you received it. anyway, you have 30 days to return for a replacement. so you should be covered.

  • Has anyone ever dropped an iphone in water and its worked again when its dried out?

    I dropped my iphone down the loo! Will it work again when it has dried out?

    Mine took a swim in a pool. Did the rice thing as described by Wjosten above. Got the phone back up and running but lost some pixels on the screen.
    Just know, there is a moisture sensor inside the phone. If you go to the Apple store and they run a diagnostic, the phone will report back that it's gotten wet, thus nullifying your warranty. Doesn't take much for that Sensor to be activated. A good, sweaty workout at the gym gets it's going... Oh, that's if you workout with your phone in your bra, but that's a story for another time. TMI?

  • Has anyone ever tried the Mophie Juice Pack Air case?
