HT201401 Plug in the battery charger to the iPhone5 seems to be reducing the contact and demanding tricks as time goes. Is this a common problem?

I am having increasing difficulties making a proper connection to recharge the battery. It seems that the contacts are not working properly.
I thought it was some dirt in the little hole but sometimes I need to move the plug to start the charging process.

Both the charger cable and the phone are still under warranty.  If you're having difficulites, bring the to Apple for evaluation.  If one or the other is defective, it will be replaced free of charge, unless there's obvious user damage.

  • My two month old iphone lightning cable is corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?

    You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
    You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
    If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
    If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
    If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

  • I can't get rid of the battery charged symbol

    Even when I switch off my ipod, the battery charged symbol stays. When I have used the fully charged ipod for 30 minutes or so and switch it off, the next day the battery is already drained. I think that this is due to the battery symbol never going away. That must use up the battery?? Can someone help?

    I have this same problem!! I posted the other day and no one has responded yet. I kept trying to reset mine and the "charged" symbol would not go away.. Then finally after re-setting about 20 times.. the battery showed almost all the way dead.. Then I re-charged it and it worked normal. Then I just charged it again and it's doing the same thing. Constantly shows the "charged" symbol in the right hand corner and when I shut it off it appears on the screen.. AHHHH!!!

  • Should I disconnect the charger once the battery is 100% full. Or can I use the laptop plugged even when the battery is full., Should I disconnect the charger once the battery is 100% full. Or can I use the laptop plugged even when the battery is full.

    You can leave the charger plugged in, as you cannot overcharge...charging automatically stops when your battery is full. Once every 2 ~ 3 months, its a good idea to drain the battery to about ~ 40%, then recharge to full. Otherwise, you can charge whenever you like & leave connected whenever you like.
    Try to avoid full battery discharges, Lithium batteries don't like that & frequent full discharge/recharge cycles will eventually kill your battery.

  • I need the mother board plug for the battery charger and Bios Battery for an XT178 Laptop?

    HP xt178 Laptop (1P) F4685H SN: TW24604214
    I need to replace the motherboard plug that the Battery Charger plugs into as it is broken.
    The Bios Battery has failed and is NO: ML1220 with a number 28 in ink stamped on it.
    are these parts available from HP or can you provide me with common part numbers.
    Jack

    Hey JD,
    That's a reaalllllllllyyy old laptop.  As an HP employee I feel obligated to recommend picking up a new one at your local retailer.  
    If you are serious about finding parts then you may be out of luck.  HP stopped servicing that notebook in 2006.

  • When I remove the battery charger my computer shuts down completely and won't start until I plug the charger back in

    When I remove the battery charger the computer completely shuts down and won't start up without the battery charger. I have to restart all my windows when I turn it back on. Before it would just go to sleep and if it was charged it would come back on without batter. Any suggestions on what this can be?

  • HT201263 My I phone 5 got hot actually very hot.. Boiling hot and then the battery charge went from 100 to 50 and within a minute was shut down and never on again...I bought the phone from the apple store in manhattan new York I bout the unlocked phone

    My I phone 5 got very hot actually boiling hot although it was not exposed to any external heat ...it was fully charged and within 10 minutes it was half charged 50% and within one minute it was shut down ... Tried re charging through the computer and through the power but no response the phone is totally black... Tried connecting to I tunes and no response.. The thing  is that I bought the I phone 5 on the 23 rd December 2012 from Manhattan new York and I live in Qatar and there is no service centre in qatar .. I am now without a phone although I paid 706$ and that's a big amount .. I am disappointed .. I bought an original phone from the original apple store and I ended up with a product that didn't survive for a month.. What quality assurance do the apple have on their products...I need help here

    I appreciate the fast reply.
    Well, I checked the iphone and the battery charged going from the bolt to the plug in the upper right hand corner very quickly. On my other cell phones, charging took a REAL long time.
    Again, is this normal? I unplugged the iphone from the charger and I am going to monitor the battery power today. I find it odd that the battery would work on standby for 4 days without recharging the battery and then start doing something wacky. Any thoughts?

  • When the battery charged fully in macbook pro and the charger (AC Adapter)

    when the battery charged fully in macbook pro and the charger (AC Adapter) is connecting (Showing Green Lamp) to the macbook pro does that effect to the battery live of the macbook pro with Retina Display 15'' ME665
    Also I want know the Best headphone compatible with macbook pro Retina that help me to Hear and Record ?
    Notes ( the macbook pro 15" has just one port for the headphone usually it's tow for record and hear)
    Best Regards,

    The MacBook Pro charging circuit will charge the battery until it reaches 100% charge and then switch to power mode for the MBP.  When the battery drops to 93-95% charge the circuit will switch back to charging mode to top off the battery charge again.  You will not harm the battery or MBP by leaving it plugged in most of the time.
    There are many good headphone/microphone combinations on the market, best really is more a function of how much money you want to spend.  Check those offered in the Apple on-line store for features/price to see what would best fit your needs.  You can also look at audio equipment suppliers, all the earphones need is a standard 3.5 mm plug.

  • Does the battery charging in the macbook pro retina automatically cut off when the battery is fully charged?

    Does the battery charging in the macbook pro retina automatically cut off when the battery is fully charged? or does it continue charging?In which case,is it better for the battery life to switch off the power supply or leave it on while using the macbook?

    Yes, and the pilot light on the MagSafe2 connector changes from orange to green. If you unplug, you will start draining the battery again, whereas if plugged the Mac will take power from the brick and leave the battery in a charged state.

  • I bought Macbook Air early 2014. Ever since i bought it to turn it on after a long ie. 5hr - 6hr i have to first charge it for at least 15 mins and sometimes it wont turn on for 3hr - 4hr and then it will turn on regardless of the battery charged.

If i had put it on sleep even then it wont turn on it will work as usual as it is suppose to do. I went to icare twice and they game me the device back after 1-2 weeks saying it is now not giving any issue but when i will used it next morning again same thing happened. It's like i can never go out anywhere with the laptop outside as i have to first charge it and then turn it on. Icare wont replace my device they only say if there is any issue with the hardware we will replace that hardware but i think it is useless because they don't know what the issue is. Can someone help me out what to do now ? It's been to iCare ever since i bought it now i don't want them to again do the same thing.

    Can you reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iOS: Unable to restore

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
