IPhone 3gs charger port melted and home button is super hard

My iPhone was charging over night and in the morning I found that charger and the iPhone was melting and now it doesn't turn on and doesn't charge what do I do now?

Make an appointment at an Apple store, if still under warranty all will be replaced if determined to be a hardware failure not caused by user misuse. If you're out of warranty, Apple offers an out of warranty replacement program, the cost in the US is $199.

Trying to reboot iphone 4. pushed sleep/wake and home buttons for 20 sec. phone didn't reboot. itunes won't recognize phone.

Trying to reboot iphone 4. Pushed the sleep/wake and home buttons together for 20+ sec. nothing happens. i tunes does not recognize the phone. The phone was working fine until the S/W and home buttons were pushed for aprox. 30 sec. it shut down and will not restart. have tried the reboot with out success.

Did you also try to connect in recovery mode? iOS: Unable to update or restore

IPhone 3gs charging EXTREMELY slow, and not showing it's connected.

So my iPhone just started doing this last night, I plugged it in before sleep, and noticed it didn't show that it was connceted, and I wiggled the calbe around and tried connecting it to my laptop instead of the wall charger and nothing. So I plugged it back onto my wall charger and looked it up on Google, and found some people have fixed this by doing a reset, I did it, that didn't help, so by this time my phone was still plugged in and noticed it had gone up from 39% to 40%, but it wasn't showing it was connceted. So I left it to charge over night, and it only charged up to 89% in about 6 hours.
Has anyone seen this problem before, and what do you recommend?

Here's what you do
1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
     a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
     b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
     c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
You're welcome

Iphone in Recovery Mode + Lock and Home Buttons Stopped Working

Hello
Following an update to IOS7 my wifes Iphone 5 restarted and entered recovery mode. I performed a restore in itunes however the device reset and re-entered recovery mode. I performed this serval times.
After downloading a program online which exited the recovery mode for me, i was able to restore my wifes iphone backup with all settings restored etc. So its more or less working.
However i still have the following new problems:
1. Home Buttons not responsive
2. Lock Button not responsive
3. Silent and Volume Buttons Okay.
4. After powering off via the accessbility menu, the recovery mode apears again.
Can anyone help me resolve this fault? The phone keeps entering recovery

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Looks like the warranty road is the one I'll have to take...
The place I bought it off said it was coming from Australia but I tracked the parcel and it actually got shipped from Hong Kong...
Do the 920's come with manufacturers warranty at all? I don't know how to check if I have warranty haha

Corrosion build up on iPhone 3Gs charging port.

Possibly from cord shorting out. Giving the 'This device not made to charge' message when plugged in. Works on car charger. Any advice on cleaning aqua green build up on charging port at bottom of phone?

Hi,
You can try using a small brush, like a toothbrush, to remove any debris or light corrosion.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3302 describes corrosion that can be caused by water damage.

My iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon

my iphone 3gs keeps going black and to a "thinking" icon and will do this for a long time and won't stop till I do a forced shut down. It's all sporatic as to when it does this. Plus it's adding pictures to contacts that don't normally have pictures and taking them away from ones who do have them. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have iOS 5.1.1 on it still b/c my iTunes won't download the newest verision of the iOS (yes I have the most recent iTunes on my laptop, yes I've tried multiple different times to download too) but I've heard others say not to put the newest iOS on the 3gs b/c it locks them up.

Try doing a reset on your iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

Hello there, Conorjl7.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

Hello Kimbo1991,
It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

My iphone died and when I plugged it back in to charge it when it powered on the screen remained black. I can hear when I receive a text and a hear siri. I have tried holding down the sleep and home button

My iphone died & I plugged it back in to charge when it powered on the screen remained black. I can hear when I receive a text and siri. I have tried holding down the sleep and home button and restoring in itunes neither worked. The screen on the phone is cracked but has been working fine until now. Please help!!!

Here's how to perform the restore:
HT1414
If you can actually get to restore, maybe (I estimate a 0.01% chance) you'll be able to do a backup before the restore. Actually, from the symptoms you describe, I suspect a restore won't work either and you'll need to do a recovery.
Just in case, if you need to recover (restore fails), here's how. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once.

My iphone 4s not turnong on...pluged the charger display shows red battery sts bar but after holding power and home button it doesnt reboot:(

Hi,,
Read post on this but tried holding power and home button the screen balckens out and then when pressed power button the display show red battery sts bar...need help as not used my gadget for the past two days and i m feeling lonely...pls pls reply to my mail id [email protected]
pls pls

What on earth do you mean by shattered? Can you post a picture?
It's always possible that the connector was damaged but not to the point that chargers wouldn't work. With continued use, the damage got worse until the connector could no longer feed electricity into the phone.
It sounds to me like you need to get your phone replaced but only the folks at an Apple store can say for sure.

Iphone 3gs got very hot and wont charge

I have had my iphone 3gs for about a year and a half. last night I left it on a 3rd party wall charger while I slept, which I bought a week ago and have been using since. I woke up 4 hours later to find my phone was so hot i couldn't hold it. No joke it was as hot as my wood burner gets when its been running all day. It also had no charge.
Now my screen shows it needs plugged into a charger, and when I plug it into a charger it shows it is plugged in with a dead battery (red empty battery and a lighting bolt). after about a minute the apple icon comes on the screen and sits there for about 5-10 minutes before it turns back off, and shows the red empty battery with the lightning bolt. If i leave it plugged in it just keeps repeating this cycle.
I have used a docking station to try and charge, as well as 3 different usb cables plugged into my computer. I have reset the phone repeatedly today for hours with the power button and home button held in for 10 seconds. I have even put the phone in DFU mode and restored to factory settings with itunes. While plugged into the computer, itunes didnt even recognize my phone until i put it in DFU mode, then itunes popped up and restored. when it rebooted after restore it just continued with the cycle of turning on and off, showing its plugged in with a dead battery.
I cant go to an apple store with a warranty because I have broken this phones screen multiple times and taken it apart to successfully fix it. Last time I replaced a screen was a few months ago so I know that me disassembling the phone is not relevant to todays problem.
Has anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions to get my phone to charge and turn on completely?

Yes, I had this problem. I even phoned apply up & they never knew what it was. Or a solution, but if it's the same problem as I had, then I have a simple, but annoying solution. What happens is the iPhone overheats (normally whencharging and being used, so it stops charging to stop itself from melting. To make thephone charge again try holding it under a fan to cool it. Like I said it worked for me :)
