IPhone 3GS doesnt charge up via Power Adapter

hello all
Today my main power supply failed while my iPhone was charging via wall adapter. I didn't unplug it because i was sleeping. When i woke up electricity has come back but my iPhone wasn't charging. I tried many ways by plugging in different sockets all over my home but the iPhone doesn't seem to charge anywhere however it charges via my pc via the cable. So i concluded that the problem is with my power adapter. Is there anything i can do to fix it?

By the time you package the power adaptor and pay to have it shipped it to your friend in the U.S. to have it exchanged under warranty - if it is exchanged under warranty, and your packages the replacement and pays to have it shipped to you, you will be without a power adaptor for a while and at a greater expense.
If your iPhone was purchased in the U.S. and has been hacked to be unlocked, the warranty is void. In order to have an iPhone that was sold by Apple in the U.S. exchanged under warranty or any of the package contents, the iPhone must be activated with AT&T and if hacked for any reason and Apple discovers this, the warranty is void.
Purchase another there - cheaper and much faster. Apple sells their power adaptor for $29, and there are some 3rd party power adaptors that are compatible with the iPhone.

  • My iPhone 3GS doesnt turn on unless charging

    My iPhone 3GS doesnt turn on unless charging and when on says to connect to iTunes.
    any clue to why this happens?
    thank you for your support.

    Is it fully charged?
    If it is... then I would suspect a battery issue (i.e dead battery).

  • My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton.  How can I make my Iphone work????

    My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton.  How can I make my Iphone work????  I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on.  It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it.  IT just WONT charge?  Any tips I can use to solve the issue?

    Hello estebie67,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.

  • HT4060 My I pad 2 is not charging throuh USB Power Adapter but it is chrging from computer through USB (with sign of no charging). Would  you please give any solution for that?

    I have facing problem of charging my I pad through USB power adapter. It is not giving any response when connected to power adapter. When it is connected with USB port of computer it is charging with sign of "not charging" and it takes long time to cahrge. please help me to sove my problem.

    I have no idea why the iPad would not be charging with another power adapter but will charge thought the USB port on your computer. Try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
    If that doesn't help, I think that the next thing that I would try would be to reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this, all device settings will have to be re-entered and tha does take some time to do.

    So bring it to Apple for evaluation.  Can you not figure that out by yourself?

  • Why my iphone 5 doesnt charge?

    My brand new iphone 5 doesnt charge help me

    My husbands wouldn't charge either. We knew the cable was fine because mine would charge, but when we moved the plug to his, nothing. We tried charging his in the wall, from the computer, and in the car to no avail. It wouldn't even make the sound it makes when it's connection to charge. We brought it in to the Apple store tonight and they gave him another one. We tried calling Apple first, but was told it would be a few weeks until they could send a replacement, so if you have an Apple store near you, that's the way to go.

  • TS1538 My 4 month old iPhone 5s stopped charging, original cable with adapter works fine on other iphones

    My 4 month old iPhone 5s stopped charging, original cable with adapter works fine on other iphones.
    I have tried restarting iPhone while its connected to my macbook pro and when it restarts, I see it starts charging again.
    After this, when I plug phone to wall outlet, it works perfectly and charges but next day again it stops charging.

    Will Apple cover this under warranty if the port is damaged due to unknown reasons as its under 1 yr warranty?
    Also, I am out of USA now and would like to know if I can send it through a friend and get it checked out by Apple tech...
    Never has any iPhones of all generations that I owned gave such problem.

  • Iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage

    My iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage. When he texts me, his name comes through as my email address. I think this could be because we both have the same itunes account. not all messages my brother sends i recieve but i would just like this sorted out. please help!

    Sounds like you signed up the same account for iMessages or the same phone number was added to iMessages.
    Go into SETTINGS/MESSAGES/SEND & RECEIVE
    That is the list of numbers and email addresses that the phones will receive iMessages for. Remove the duplicates that you might see between the two phones. Also make sure that the Apple ID at the top is not the same.

  • If I purchase an iphone 6 does it come with power adapter, cable

    If I purchase an iphone 6 does it come with power adapter, cable?  It kinda indicates yes but then suggests you buy them when you go to check out ?

    Yes, if you buy from Apple. Scroll down this page:
    http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone6
    to the "What's in the box" section.
    High-demand Apple items like iPhones are attractive to unscrupulous resellers because people want them so badly they will take stupid actions to get one. Bad resellers may quote a price tha sounds great but then say it does NOT include the accessories that Apple ships at no cost.
    Go with Apple if you are new to this.

  • My iPhone 3gs was charged completely and just randomly turned off today.  The screen is blank and the phone does not respond to a charger or the computer.  Is it broken or fixable?

  • My iphone 3gs is charging on the wall charger but wont charge on the pc, have cleaned it, yet it can sync and update with itunes easily, but it still wont charge, have tried several cables as well same effect.

    1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
