Iphone 3g problems with charging

After charging my phone, I unplug it and I can't hear any sound coming out of it. I check my settings, everything is on.

The unit finally failed and I opened it up. It appears to consist of an AC-->dc converter with suitable filters and regulators and a small computer that probably talks via I2C or a similar protocol to the iphone.
I suspect that components are defective and the output voltage is outside the range it thinks it should be or some problems with the communications cause it to send an erronious message in response to the query sent by the iphone. I did NOT see any obviously bulging electrolytic capacitors, but I did not test for high ESR and I suspect that is the problem.
A 'off brand' AC Charger of iPod and iPhone from Radio Shack works fine while BOTH authentic APPLE iphone 'tiny cube' chargers are going for recycling.
Software fixes may cause the iphone to either keep trying until it gets the right response or ignore the erronious responses.

  • Creative ZEN MX problems with charging battery

    /Creative ZEN MX problems with charging batteryHi!
    I've bought Creative Zen MX player a couple months ago. First thing I noticed when I plug in it into my computer was that battery after 3 hours was not full, what is more computer disconnected with it couple times;/
    After weeks or two when I tried to charge it i Went where I bought it and they said after some examination that it really didn't work
    They've sent it to the service. I had t wait for the return two months!!! and at the end they said that that tiny usb wire was damaged not mp3.
    OK . The battery was fully charged maybe on 5 attempts ;/
    There is no problem in my computer because I tried it on several other and it did not work ;/ ?Please, help me
    Where is the problem?
    ?Why this player simply disconnect with my PC?

    I was given this as a gift. I charged it for 8hrs when i got it and it showed fully charged. I have been trying to give it a full charge over the last 2 days once on a power adapter plugged into the wall the other through the USB port on my laptop .each for about 8hrs each. Using different cables. I remove the player and it shows full battery (never gives the plug icon though)and within 30 minutes of play music, I get the low battery warning. it was purchased on 0/6/200. nAlso it will not power on while charging.My original ZEN was able to play music when charging this one says DOCKED and will not repond to the power button being presses.

    First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

  • IPhone 3G problems with 3G...

    Hi,
    My iPhone 3G was working perfectly with OS 3.0 but lately it's been playing up - now whenever I connect to my home router 3G overrides Wi-Fi... laptop has no problem with the router, no settings have been changed on the router - the router is not the problem.
    Also now, while sitting at my desk I can't get a signal anymore... I have to turn 3G off to get a signal - the signal is full bar with EDGE.
    I've done everything short of putting it in the freezer: -
    - reset network
    - forget this network
    - renew lease
    - restore
    - all sorts of turning on & off 3G, data roaming...etc combinations
    but no change... or improvement!
    What's going on???
    Thanks

    Try restoring your phone from your most resent backup, followed by syncing your iTunes content back to your phone. But first, find and delete the existing .ipsw file on your computer(it "may" be corrupt). You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it. This will force iTunes to download a fresh copy. The .ipsw file can be found here:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Vista & 7: C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    OS X: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates

  • N 97 FM Transmitter PROBLEM WITH CHARGER / QUALITY...

    Helllo. got my RM 505 FW 11  with several problems concerning the built-in FM Transmitter.
    When used under UMTS 3G EPLUS with LCG Jukebox 2.41 the Transmit Power seems to Low.
    I tested it with freq. 88.30 , 88.60 ,96.00 and 107.00 for example.
    Always i got crackling noise and interferences .
    But when i plug my Nokia USB Charger to the Device , FM Transmitting is nearly impossible.
    to the point the batteries recharging the amount of FM send power is very low. but when i plug off the charger ,
    the quality is much better , but far away from a good result. i noticed that whenever i touch phones metal frame , the quality rises , but when i left phone alone quality falls down to hell.
    i compared it with my nokia N86 8MP but there is NO problem with or without connectet USB Charger so
    i guess maybe it is a hardware fault of my device ?????
    Could anyone be so kind and check his N97 with and without USB Charger in car while transmitting MP3 to radio ??
    Thx a Lot !

  • Problem With Charger

    My IBook G4 has been an awesome computer, and I've had practically zero problems with it since I bought it 2 years ago.
    However, recently my charger will stop charging at random times. Usually this happens overnight, when I leave my computer to charge, and when I wake up the cord is not lit up (like it does when charging) and my battery is almost dead.
    Does anyone have any idea how this is happening and if there's something to be done? I just bought this charger a month ago, and I'd rather not shell out another $80.
    Thanks for any help!

    No worries!
    Purchasing it online from HP is a matter of using the HP online store that is appropriate for the country in which you reside. In my case, I use the UK or Germany onliine store. Which country do you reside in so I can direct you to the proper place?
    Here is the link to the US HP online store AC adapters section. Search by the product name that you provided tpo me and you will see which one you need to purchase. 
    If your notebook is still in warranty you can contact HP and find out if you can receive one without cost to you under warramnty coverage. the standard warranty is one year from date of purchase.
    Here is the result of a search I did for an adapter for your notebook with Google. Your result will vary by the location in which you reside.
