My iphone 3gs will not charge anymore help please!!!

At first it would only charge if i placed it in a specific way but now its not charging at all. Its brand new only got it a week ago and it had these charging issues out of the box. I cant go to a genius bar or use my warranty because i live in malawi a small country in africa where most people see an iphone as alien technology so please help a brother out!!

If your iPhone has a hardware problem and it sounds like it does, no one here can help.
The iPhone includes a one year warranty, which can be used in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple.

  • IPhone 3GS will not charge from USB or charger

    My iPhone 3GS will not charge at all - have tried different cables, USBs, wall chargers and still no success

    Take it to the Apple store let the "Genius" run some diagnostics on it.

  • Iphone 4 will not charge anymore from the car stereo

    Ever since I have updated to iOS5 my IPhone 4 will not charge via the car stereo connection. It worked fine before this but now no charge. I am using a scosche adaptor that was recommended by the nice people in my local Apple store but the IPhone has stopped charging.
    I use my IPhone a lot as a sat-nav and find that when I get to my destination there is little or no power left in the battery.
    Any ideas?

    Check the bottom of the iPhone and make sure there is no lint or debris on the connector that the power/sync cord attaches to.  Also with a very low battery, you may have to let the iPhone charge several minutes before you get any indications. If none of the above solves the problem, try another cable.  You might also want to try a car charger if you've got one.

  • Iphone 3GS will not charge via wall charger

    My iphone 3GS (6 mouths old) will not charge using the wall charger, I recently updated my phone, could this be the problem?? I have two different apple wall chargers and neither of them will charge my phone. But when I used the chargers on my ipod Classic it works fine. I'm able to charge my phone using the usb port on my computer with no problem. Can anyone help me with this problem??

    They need to fix this quick. i'm having the same trouble too.
    My PC pops up "USB device not recognized"
    My wall charger which came with the device i've been using since doesnt charge my phone.

  • My iPhone 3GS will not charge. What can I do?

    When I plug my iPhone 3GS into my apple charger, it charges for about 15 seconds then says "charging is not supported by this accessory". What can I do? I have restarted my phone and tried to restore it but it won't stay connected long enough for me to dowload it, much less install it. Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    That's often an indication that the dock connector at the bottom of the phone is either dirty or damaged.  Blow compressed air on it and/of gently brush it with a clean, dry toothbtush.  Also be sure the usb cable is able to make a good connection to the connector without being obstructed by your case.  If it's a tight fit, try removing your case.

  • My iphone 3gs will not charge after battery replacement

    Hey
    I've had an iPhone 3gs for almost two years now. Recently I shattered the screen and cracked the back. Last summer I broke my led screen and paid 250 to get a new phone from apple. To avoid this cost my dad decided to order parts online and fix it himself. He is one of those do it yourself dads. After watching tutorials and taking my phone apart he replaced the parts and put it back together (Parts included a new screen, a back, and a battery). Once we finished we plugged the phone in and what happened was that it would be stuck at the charging screen with a think red line. Every once in a while it attempts to turn on, the apple icon appearing but once it finished that it flashes my homepage and turns off. It constantly repeats this.
    I've gone through a TON of pages but have had no success in finding a solution. We've tried rebooting my phone (it doesn't work), restarting my computer, multiple plug-ins, basically everything. When plugged in to a computer, iTunes is unable to detect my phone. Any other suggestions?
    Any advice would be MUCH apprectiated. Thank you

    Nevermind guys, figured out it was a fault in the battery. We took my old battery out of my old phone put it in, sure enough it worked:)

  • IPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11

    My new iPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11, but will charge on my friends OSX 10.6.7, what do I do?

    Call AppleCare and ask them if they still have an available copy or check on Amazon, eBay, etc. If your computer will support it you will be better off buying a retail copy of Snow Leopard instead.

  • My iPhone 5 will not charge. Has new battery. Must be the lightening connection. Any advice. Genius told me to buy a new phone for $250. HELP,

    My iPhone 5 will not charge. Even though it will show that it is charging, it will often not accept a charge. Appears to be the lightening connection, because I can sometimes get it to work by playing with the connection point.  Phone is 16 months old. This problem has been on-going for months, and is getting worse.
    Anything I can do other than buying another new phone?

  • HT4528 iphone 4s will not charge, help anyone?

    iphone 4s will not charge, help anyone?

    If the iPhone doesn't charge when connected to the power adaptor and when connected to your computer after trying another USB cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used, more than likely the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery or something else.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.

  • Okay, so my iphone 4s will not charge at all. I been charging it on my windows laptop, and it just stopped charging. even on the wall. What should I do? Help.

    Wow long time ago to find a thread...
    Hold the power and home button while connected to your computer for 10 seconds. Then release JUST the power button and continue holding the home button and iTunes should recongnise the device in recovery and then hit restore and iTunes will proceed to wipe the phone and restore to the latest iOS your device can go too.

    My iPhone 4s will not charge. Can you help me?

    Have you tried charging it from another computer or another wall charger?
    Have you tried another cable?
    This is a good place to start for charging problems -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    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.

  • TS1559 My iPhone 3GS will not now join wifi.  This is a very recent problem and I have tried everything so hope someone can help.  I go Settings then Wifii, it picks up network no problem but then does not download IP Address.

    My IPhone 3GS will not now join wifi, this is a very recent problem.  It finds my network but does not download the IP Address hence when I load password Join remains grey.  I have tried all the fixes suggested I.e.  network reset, airplane on then off but still nothing.  I also have another iPhone of the same type and an iPad and they are just fine so I know it is not a router problem.  Please please what do I do?
