Iphone not charging and dying

Hello, I have the Iphone 3G, I got it a few months ago. I was just wondering if anybody knows why it is not charging and it died. I tried multiple chargers and it still will not charge and won't turn on, someone please help me!!!

Hey,
According to me first you check your lightning cable becouse with the lightning cable there is issue of peeling out than the cable is working some time or not working some time. you can check you lightning cable from the lightning connectors side and also from USB side. if your cable is peeling out the replace your cable and that is not peeling out that you can go with the  Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

  • IPhone not charging and screen not turning on after battery died

    The battery on my iPhone just died about 2 hours ago. I noticed the battery getting kind of hot. Normally when this happens, I let it run to 0% then recharge it to 100%.
    After the phone died, I plugged it in (wall charger) and nothing came on the screen. I then plugged it into the computer and nothing came on the screen at all. I left it plugged in for about 20 minutes and still nothing on the screen but the back of the phone was getting really hot. I held the phone up to my ear and heard a slight buzzing noise from the earpiece (?) and when i took the cable out the noise stopped. The overheating kind of freaked me out but I looked extensively online and everything mentioned flipping the vibrate switch and holding the home and power buttons. I then tried restarting my phone while the phone is plugged in and again nothing showed up on the screen.
    I tried all of this and nothing happened. As of now I've taken the phone off of the charger as I'm unsure what my next move is going to be. I won't be able to take it to an Apple Store until April so I'm pretty much screwed.
    Anyone have anything else I can try?

    I was having battery troubles outlined in this topic:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2324513&start=135&tstart=15
    I tried some of the easy fixes but none had worked so far. Since the last time my battery drained to 0% and turned off (yesterday), my phone has not turned on. I have plugged it into a working wall socket, and plugged it into my computer, and neither has worked. Please note it's been plugged in for more than 24 hours. I have tried rebooting it but nothing seems to work. I have checked the apple support topics and can't find any solution to this problem that has worked.
    Also please note that my phone is not getting hot to the touch, nor is it making a "humming" noise.
    Thanks.

  • Iphone not charging and continuously restarting when connected

    Last night I let my iphone 4 run down to 2% charge. I plugged it into the charger (china one) and it would come up with the electricity symbol, but not be charging. I then connected it to my genuine apple charger and the same thing happened. It then continuously restarted, i.e. apple screen for a few seconds, then my pincode screen for a split second, then the thinking and restarting symbol (round in a circle) before going black for a few seconds then back to the apple screen. I couldn't get it out of this loop, so I connected it to my itunes. The same reboot happened once, then it came up with an error message
    "itunes could not connect to this iphone beause an unknown error occurred (OxE8000065)"
    The next morning I unplugged and replugged the phone into the mac and a different message popped up
    "The iphone cannot be synced. An internal device error occured."
    It did the restart  again and I tried a reset (home and lock button) but it just went through the restart back to a black screen again.
    I tried it in a different USB port and possibly coincidentally, it now says on itunes
    "the phone "xx iphone" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
    Now if I press the home button, the battery image comes up with minimal red bar. It does not go through the restart loop.
    My thoughts - have I dropped it one too many times (as I had the day before) and the battery has come loose (won't charge)? If so I will pull it apart and have a look as it's 10 days out of warranty.
    Should I try a DFU or Recovery mode whilst plugged into the mac? I have a back up on icloud but still chance to lose lots of data.
    What do I try first or are there any other suggestions? And thank you for reading this long winded issue!

    I ended up going to the Apple Store and they said it's a common problem. As my phone was out of warranty I had to pay for a refurbished one, but it still works 1 year later. Better than forking out $600 for a brand new one.

  • IPhone not charging and using more battery power while on charger and getting hot

    I have an iPhone 4 and have had issues with it charging.  This has happened 3-4 times over the past few months, where I put it on the wall charger prior to going to sleep and wake up with 17-20% battery power.  Last night I placed it on the charger with approximately 70% battery power.  I believe it charged to 100%, I left it on the charger and when I woke this morning the phone was hot (hotter than charging it with the USB) and the power was at 17%.  Any suggestions on what I can do to rectify this issue?  After the iOS upgrade it did and I reset the phone, ran the power completely out and charged 100%.  I don't have any more apps open than usual.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Having a similar problem with my 3G IPhone.  Battery life is fine but once I plug it in to charge it won't charge.  I have to reset my phone and then it will start to charge as long as I unplug it and then plug it in again.  This problem is something that is intermittent.  I reinstalled the firmware but the problem did not go away. Something that I have noticed is that when this takes place usually the GPS function cannot find my current location at the same time. Once the phone is rest the GPS is fine. The fact that I have reloaded the firmware and the problem has not gone away leads me to think that this is a hardware problem. Well we will see soon I am going to take it in to get checked out. This is sort of annoying but I love the IPhone it is great!!!!

    Have you tried to restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer? See the restoring topic on:

    If not successful, what happens when you try to restore the iPod?  Any error messages?

  • My iphone 5 will not charge, and will not power on.

    My iphone 5 is 14 months old and it will not charge, and it has died. My charger cable works as it charges my ipad, and I also used a second charger for good measure. Please help.
    When I try to power on, it goes to the battery sign with the lightning bolt underneath.
    It has been on the charger for a while, and still no luck.
    I tried a hard reset to no avail, and I connected it to my computer, but it is dead and itunes won't recognize it if it is dead.

    Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

  • My ipad 2 died. It is not charging and not working. Help?

    My ipad 2 has suddenly died. It is not charging and not working. It is under the one year warranty. Does anybody have experienced such problem?

    If you are stuck with the Apple logo then the last section on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 suggests putting the iPad into recovery mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097 (which so far I havn't need to do with mine)

  • My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

    If it's still under warranty, Apple will fix it, but you have to send it to them, so you won't have it for several weeks. If the warranty is expired, they'll still do it, but you'll have to pay for it. Last I heard, it costs $99/S&H.
    That is the ultimate defect in the iPhone. No other cellphone has a battery that is not user-replaceable. I won't buy a phone that doesn't.

  • My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.

    My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.  I updated the software about 2 weeks ago but since the phone is dead I can find out which version I have.  It started giving me the prompt "this accessory does not support charging this device".  I tried charging in my car, two separate wall chargers and on my MacBook Pro.  Have never had a problem charging it before.  When I would try to charge it, I would get a green battery icon with a plug in it, indicating the battery was fully charged.  I now have it plugged into a wall charger, it shows the lighting bolt and nearly drained battery but the phone will not turn on.  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    You probably need to do this...

  • My iphone will not charge and will not turn on?

    Today my iphone is dead. It will not charge and will not turn on. Could it need a new cord? It is just 5 months old! It has always been in the Lifeproof case. Ideas?

    Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it, again: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • HT5654 Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which has not been used for at least 5 years.  It will not charged and I have tried to carry out a DFU with out any result.  Any ideas please?

    Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which she has not used for approximately 5 years.  It will not charge and I have tried to carry out a Device Firmware Upgrade to no effect.  Can anyone please help?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer
