  • IPhone 5 charging port has gold strips sticking up inside it, and now it won't charge

    I dropped my phone in the toilet yesterday, and it half submerged into the water (the water reached just beneath the sim card slot). I took it out of the toilet immediately and pressed down the lock button and slid it to power off. I then put it in a bowl full of rice (standing upright so no water inside could make it's way up to the top part of the phone). After 16 hours I turned it on and it worked perfectly fine, no damage at all (very lucky). However when it died and I went to charge it I realised a bit of rice was stuck inside the charging port. So with a clip I kept jabbing at the piece of rice until I got it out. Now I've come to charge it and it won't work. When I shine a flashlight into it I can see there are gold strips sticking up instead of them being pushed down into the phone. I think this happened from accidently pulling some up with the clip. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? How much will apple charge to repair the charging port?
    -the water sensor indicator inside the sim tray is still completely white, and inside the headphone jack and charging port I can't see any indicators at all
    -the phone is 5 months old on a 2 year contract with 3
    If you have any idea's or solutions please leave them below, thanks!

    Yes, you probably destroyed the connector with your probing. Apple will replace the phone for $269. Unless you can convince them it should be covered by warranty (and your warranty is still in effect). If it is out of warranty an independent repair shop may be able to replace the lightning connector.

  • Used a third party dock and now phone won't charge!!!

    I had my phone plugged into a third party dock to charge while I slept last night.  I have been doing this since I have had my phone.  When I woke up this morning there was a message saying this accesory is not optimized for iphone.  Now I can't get my phone to charge, even with my apple usb cable in my computer.  I have tried a hard reset and nothing changes.  Any suggestions, I am completely lost?

    Try cleaning your dock connector...use compressed air & a soft toothbrush...look closely...any bent pins?

    Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.

    From that article
    "Portables with built-in batteries"
    Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

    Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
    I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

  • I dropped my phone into the bath last night and it was working perfectly fine the hole day, I went to put it on charge and now it won't charge or even turn on what do I do

    I dropped my phone into the bath last night and it was working perfectly fine the hole day, I went to put it on charge and now it won't charge or even turn on what do I do

    You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag with a dessicant safe for electronics such as silica gel pellets, or failing that in a bag of dry, uncooked rice, for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service) or buy a new iPhone.
    Good luck.

  • HT201365 I updated my phone yesterday and now it won't charge.  Is this normal?

    I updated my phone yesterday and now it won't charge.  Is this normal?

    Obviously not charging in not normal.
    But iOS 7 checks to make sure that the lighting connector is certified by Apple. All Apple Lightning connectors and most Lightning connectors from recognized third parties are certified. But some third parties shortcut the certification process and these cables may not work with your phone.
    If you are not using the original Lightning connector or a connector from Apple try that first.

  • Hey i bought a brand new MBP like 6 months ago and now it won't charge

    i bought a brand new MBP like 6 months ago and now it won't charge. I tried using a friends MBP charger of the same year as my computer but it still says not charging at the top right corner of the computer screen where the charging symbol is. This problem just happened out of nowhere because it was working the day before then the next day it just stopped working saying it is not charging. I tired doing all of the suggested techniques to fix it but not luck.
    This is the battery report is when my MBP is either connected to my charger or my friends charger which works perfectly on her computer.

    What can you do? Go shopping for a new iPad. Liquids and electronics do not mix. And, you already have a damaged screen. Replacement is your only option. You could take it to an authorized service center but I'm I think their evaluation, given what you told us, would be to replace the iPad.

  • How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

    How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

    Hi MrsMoosie,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
    If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.

  • Battery on brand new iPod touch drains when synced to a mac and now it won't charge. If you're thinking of buying a new iPod touch, don't bother. The batteries don't work.

    The battery on my son's brand new 64G iPod touch drained while it was synced yo the mac. Now it says 100% charged when it's connected to a charger, but drops to zero as soon as it's disconnected. It would appear that, either the battery is faulty or the battery indicator is faulty. iPod batteries are not supposed to drain while syncing. And rechargeable batteries are supposed to recharge after they have drained. Maybe I'm missing something simple here, does anyone know what it is?

    My battery drained on my iPad 4s and now I can't turn it off or on. It just continues to cycle through the Apple Logo scree for about 10 seconds and than goes blank. Any thoughts would be appreciated

    Try this  - 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.

  • My IPhone 3GS just died, it stopped Vibrating a few days ago and now it won't charge.

    About a month ago, my IPhone 4 got stolen so I replaced it with an old 3GS. The 3GS was working perfectly fine up until about 3 days ago when it stopped vibrating on silent. I checked the settings and it said that the vibrate was on so it was for sure not working. I shut it off and on and the problem still continued. Then today, I came home from a party and plugged my phone in the charger because it had low battery. The phone wouldn't charge so I tried using 5 more different chargers and sources around my house. By the time I had done this my phone was dead and won't turn on. I have tried cleaning out the charging part and the piece that goes in and multiple other things I've read but nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions?

    "I drop the phone a lot"   That pretty much answers your own question.  Sounds like hardware damage which requires evaluation by Apple or an independent repair center.  You might consider a rugged case such as the Otterbox Defender.

  • Was reset and now it won't charge?

    I have had my Ipad less than one year. I had about 20 pictures, no music, no videos. I had I Books that had 3 books on my shelf, TWCable app and Walgreens App. I tried to record an event I attended and I got a message saying I did not have enough memory .
    I took it in to best buy, The Geek Squad person said he did not know what was using so much memory. He checked my usage and it did not add up to what it was indicating I had used. They reset it, so I am starting from scratch. Well I bring it home and it needed to be charged. It was at 5% and that was 6 hours ago. It is now at 47% charged !!! Clearly it is not charging they way it should or should I say the way it was before I took it in.  It should have a full battery 6 hours later. I am charging with the one I rcv'd with my Ipad.
    I am so frustrated !!!!

    Plug it into a power source for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it again:
    Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you(hopefully) see the Apple logo, then release.
