Iphone 4s not charging after water damage and subsequent new battery

My phone got wet in my pocket during a rainstorm last week. After drying it out it appeared fine except that the battery won't charge. It does however appear that its charging, It makes the noise when connected to the charger and the battery icon has the charging symbol next to it. I've changed the battery and the problem persists. Do you think the charging circuits have been damaged? What should my next step be?

Unfortunately, your next step is to find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple will not touch that one now that you opened it.
Apple does not sell iPhone parts including batteries. The only possible sources are stolen parts, salvaged parts, or counterfeit parts.
You are no longer eligible for the $199 out of warranty replacement.
Missed the part where he changed the battery.

Iphone 5 will not charge after water damage. Tried various solutions.

Hi all,
A few weeks ago i put my iphone 5 in the washing machine for about 30 seconds. I got it out ASAP but it was still noticably wet. I quickly padded it down and put it in a bag of rice for several days (luckily it was already out of battery when it went in).
After i had left it to dry out i plugged it in only to find the lightining cabel symbol comes up and it will not charge. So what i have done so far;
Changed battery- new battery still will not charge. However, when i did put a new battery in that held some charge the phone did turn on and everything was working fine.
Tried new lightning cable
Changed dock connector- still would not charge
Removed battery and cleaned entire phone with 99% isopropyl, dried and phone still would not charge.
I'm pretty lost here??? If everything was working fine when i put the new battery in apart from being able to charge i asssumed it must be the dock connector but apparently not.
I have heard it might be something to do with the USB/Power IC on the motherboard?? But im not sure if these can be replaced. I would just like to try everything myself before taking to apple as i know they will charge me a small fortune for out of warrenty repair.

So your telling me as soon as i open the phone the out of warrenty service is void as well (even if i were to put the old battery back in)?
Yes.
Is their an indicator to show the phone has been opened?
Yes. There are tamper indicators inside the phone.
People should have the right to change their battery or open their phone if they want instead of being forced to make a genius bar appointment for any type of service (apple stores are few and far between where i live).
You do have that right. But if you choose to exercise it, you forfeit your right to an out of warranty replacement.
Note: I took it to a repair shop re dock connector change. They changed it and it wouldnt work so they replaced old one and said apple wouldnt have a problem fixing it on the out of warrenty repair service.
They lied to you.
If the service is void i certainly will not be buying another iphone. I guess this is how apple make their money.
Go ahead. Try the same thing with another vendor... let us know how that works for you.

"not charging" after water damage

My macbook air was water damaged 2 weeks ago and now it functions well except the battery. It shows "not charging". It is still under warranty now. Does Apple charge to get is checked to see whether battery is the only problem? And how long will that take?

make Appt. with Apple for diagnostic / repair.
There is no cost for evaluation, but accidents / spills are not warranty coverage.
Your Mac is not "functioning well" at all if you cant charge it. By trying to charge it you likely caused more damage.
Dont risk more damage and try to use or charge your macbook, make call for service.

How do i delete everything off my iphone 6 before i send it off to get repaired after water damage and can't use it

how do i delete everything off my iphone 6 before i send it off to get repaired after water damage and can't use it

If it does not respond when plugged to a computer running the latest version of iTunes, then it is indeed dead and no content will be recoverable.

Iphone 4 was water damaged has had new battery as wasnt charging and new docking port and it comes on to apple logo now then off after 10 to 15 secs and reboots any help please

water damage iphone 4 was coming on when plugged in but not charging and not holding any power so changed battery it then worked untill battery power ran out and would not charge so changed the docking port and now it comes on with apple symbol and switches back off after 10 to 15 seconds like its rebooting and then just keeps repeating any help please

Help with what? Apple does not repair iPhones, they replace them. Apple does not sell parts. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts.
Talk to whoever did the initial repair. Odds are the logic board is damaged. It's probably time for a new phone.
Your phone is no longer eligible for a discounted out of warranty replacement.

Help. My iphone will not charge after some contact with water and it is dead. What do i do?????

My phone made some contact with water but after putting it in rice, it was fine. The only problem was that it had stopped charging and now the battery is dead and I don't know what to do

If you try to have it repaired and it still doesn't work, you'll be out that money and still need to buy a replacement phone. Water damaged phones rarely work well again. I know you're looking for a lower cost option, but spending the money and getting a phone that works 100% seems to be the best option. It's your money and your choice, but I wouldn't try to fix a water damaged phone. Maybe that's just me.........

IPhone 4s not charging after update to iOS7

After updated to iOS7 my iPhone 4s will not charge anymore

I would try plugging in the phone to the wall charger that came with it, and then reset the phone by holding the power and home buttons down until it turns off. Then turn it back on and see how the charging works.
Also if that doesnt seem to resolve it, take a look at this section from the article named iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
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.

Macbook pro is charging after water damage

So after I let everything dry out, my mac has been charging. Yet, the power button won't work. Good sign?

Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

Touch screen not responding after water damage

Hello community.
I do get the fact that there is million of threads, but I want to know the opinion of others on this particular case.
I dropped my phone into the toilet (luckily, it was clear) and immediately got it out.
As I had no experience with these kind of accidents, I actually didn't turn off the phone. I used a towel and then I wobbled my phone to get rid of the water. Then, as the phone started rebooting itself, I dried it with a hairdryer (yes, I'm an idiot) and used a vacuum cleaner to help the proccess.
It kept saying this error [NAND] FileFlashAndMedia or something like that, so I turned it off for good and tried to restore it - I started getting the -1 error.
After several repetitions, iTunes finally started restoring my iPhone 5 and everything was back to normal. But then I came to the dreadful realization that the screen does not respond. Everything is ok - all the buttons, the display, even the sound seeems to be fine.
So after these 15 minutes of panicking I started to read articles and watch videos of other people. Put the phone in a bowl of rice, sealed it and I turn it on from times to times to find out if the screen started responding.
Any suggestions? Do you think there is a possibility to recover it?

Your question has been answered in your other thread. No need to bump threads that are over a year and a half old. Odds are the OP is not monitoring this thread.

IPhone 5 not charging after battery drained

the battery of my iphone 5 drained and i have left it
charging for about two hours now and it hasent even shown
the battery icon that its actually charging .
for startes the cable is not an original
any suggestions (besides using an apple cable, i will try that
the moment i have one with me)

I had the same problem, there isn't any helpful answer TBH, this is the one I can find for now, which seem to work for me:
Here is a fix: Pur iPad in DFU mode...
Hold the power button for 3 seconds
Begin holding the Home button without releasing the Sleep/Power button for 10 seconds
Release the power button and continue holding the home button until you get a popup from iTunes that your device is recognized as being in recovery mode.
That’s it, you’re in DFU mode. If you get stuck in DFU mode and need to get out, just hold the power button and home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Iphone 5 not charging after using third party charger.

I know there's a lot of threads that discuss this topic but I haven't found someone who has the exact situation as mine.
I broke my original charging cable and replace it with a third party thunderbolt cable. It charges once by fluctuating all the time. Now my battery is 0% and the third party thunderbolt cable doesn't work. I decided to replace it with an original thunderbolt cable but it still doesn't charge. It doesn't show anything even the battery symbol. Just blank off screen. I also let it plugged as I hope that it just needs to charge the battery because it's drained but I guess that's not the case. I'm charging via the wall charger. I also tried to connect it in the usb port of my computer and it still doesn't work. Any fixes that you guys can recommend? I am on a panic right now. . Technically this cable should work as this is the cable from apple. Thanks.

Yes I'm well aware of patents but I have used third party chargers fine with all my previous iphones. I can buy replacement third party chargers to all my other electronics, why is it that apple has to tie me into using their charging cable, it is anti-competitive and possibly an illegal practice.
If you aren't going to offer helpful advice, then please don't state the obvious!! I wasn't aware that cables were under warranty, so being in a position that I couldn't afford another apple charger I have used another charger which has by the looks of things broken my phone. So again can I do anything to try and fix it? Does anyone know whether I have a case against the manufacturer of the 3rd party cable? Is apple being anti competitive? Id appreciate helpful comments please.

My iphone will not charge after latest update.

After I did the latest update first my middle button stopped working then the volume stopped working but both were fixed after a restart. Now my phone won't charge I get the message cable not compatible but it's the charger that came with the phone. Please help.

After a full 8 hour charge it only shows about 40% charge. This phone worked without incident before the last two firmware updates. I use the same wall charger and Apple cord for my iPad and wife's phone (she has not updated her phone to iOs 6.0.1) and they all work great. There must be something in the new update that kills battery life. By the way, I replaced my battery less than a month ago.

HT1937 My Iphone does not work after buying it and using it for 3 months how can I gert it fixed?

I brought my Iphone on the At and T site 3 months ago and it's not working how can I have it repaired?

I think that you should just contact the place you bought it from and have them take a look at it, and if you have the warrenty on your iPod you can get a new replacement too.
