HT4623 my iphone 3gs won't charge anymore.

My wife's iphone 3gs won't charge anymore even tho we leave it charging all night.

You can clean the iPhone's dock connector with an old dry toothbrush.
You won't know for certain, but if no change after making sure the dock connector port is clean, more than likely there is some damage.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby where it can be determined if there is damage to the dock connector port or if there is another hardware problem.

My iPhone 4 won't charge anymore, Help!!!!

Help!!!! my iPhone 4 won't charge anymore.. my iTunes doesn't even recognise it anymore, I've tried charging it from my computer and from the wall but nothing... don't know what to do. It was charging this morning but then i tried this afternoon and nothing happened, i really don't know what to do

Hey nankhalifa,
These are the recommended troubleshooting steps for when your iPhone isn't charging:
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

my iPhone wont charge please help!

Regarding iPhone 3GS won't charge:
I have the same iPhone, and also sync with iTunes on my Mac Book Pro computer. After just a few months after purchasing my NEW iPhone 3GS, the charger stopped working and would not show up on the computer. After trouble shooting my equipment, I discovered that the USB CORD was no longer working, NOT the AC Jack Component. My phone was still under warranty for 1year with Apple Care and extended purchased insurance with VerizonWireless. I contacted VerizonWireless as per my contract agreement, and was transferred to Apple Care Support. Apple Care informed me: A new [Apple Manufactured Original Equipment parts] would be replaced free of charge, BUT, I would first need to secure the return of the defective equipment with a deposit of the purchase price on my credit card. After the receipt of my returned defective equipment, my credit card would be credited back for the full deposit amount. This was NOT acceptable to me. I called Verizon and they mailed me a new [VerizonWireless Manufactured part] USB Cord. After a time, I had to replace that USB cord also. Apparently the USB Cord burns out after a time of use. SOLUTION; I keep about 4 new USB Cords in stock at home!! You may also need to check if your iPhone software is up to date, this could effect it's performance also.
Hope this helps

My iphone 3gs will not charge anymore help please!!!

At first it would only charge if i placed it in a specific way but now its not charging at all. Its brand new only got it a week ago and it had these charging issues out of the box. I cant go to a genius bar or use my warranty because i live in malawi a small country in africa where most people see an iphone as alien technology so please help a brother out!!

If your iPhone has a hardware problem and it sounds like it does, no one here can help.
The iPhone includes a one year warranty, which can be used in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple.

HT6154 Iphone 5s randomly won't charge anymore and won't recover or go into DFU mode

My Iphone 5s randomly won't charge anymore and won't recover or go into DFU mode. It died and it only shows the bolt symbol with the charger on the screen. When I plug in my charger the screen lights up but doesnt charge. I bought another charger to be safe and that didnt work either. My phone was working fine and this randomly happened

Carefully clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem, iPhone 5S has Warranty, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.

IPhone 3GS won't start at all...please help

My iPhone 3GS won't start at all, it only shows the apple logo untill the battery runs out and it keeps on doing that. It happened after I erased all contents & settings. I tried pressing home button & power button for 15 seconds too, it didn't work. Any other ideas?

while turned off, connect that to the wall charger, it should start normally
after few minutes.
if it dont start then put your phone in dfu mode and connect to itunes for
a restore. for dfu mode search google.

My iphone 5 won't charge :(

My iphone 5 won't charge with the cable I bought, I don't know if its because maybe it isn't an apple product? Can somone please help me! thank you

If you did buy a 3rd party product, that could be a reason. Can you check with an original Apple USB cable?

As I said above, some of the new lightning cables have been known to be causing problems for some users. Have it replaced if at all possible by bringing it into your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.
