My iPhone 4 won't charge. Help!

I took my iPhone4 off charge last night to use it and when I put it back on it only acknowledged that it had been plugged it and vibrated, it didn't actually charge at all. I have tried connecting it to my dock and my MacBook also and it's the same story. I tried to turn it off and on, left it to charge overnight and did the home/sleep button reset. Nothing's worked and now it's completely dead.
Each time I plug it in it will bring up the apple sign and turn on but since it won't charge it shows my home screen for a couple of seconds and turns straight back off. Please help!

Pretty certain the battery's dead and can't hold its charge anymore if the phone wasn't physically abused.
Time to take it in for its regular battery replacement. Would recommend to back it up first, but that is gonna be difficult, so good luck and hope you don't lose all your stuff.

    Hey nankhalifa,
    These are the recommended troubleshooting steps for when your iPhone isn't charging:
    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.

    Hello Isabellap,
    It sounds like your iPhone 4S is not charging when plugged in.  I found an article with some steps that might help with this.  I recommend reviewing the steps in the sections titled "Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter" and "Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off" in the following article:

  • My iphone 5 won't charge :(

    My iphone 5 won't charge with the cable I bought, I don't know if its because maybe it isn't an apple product? Can somone please help me! thank you

    If you did buy a 3rd party product, that could be a reason. Can you check with an original Apple USB cable?

  • My Iphone 5 won't charge while turned on.

    My iphone 5 won't charge at all while turned on. I have to turn off my phone in order to charge it. I can't really use my phone now because of the iPhone 5 battery life. I need help!

    You are going to have t take that to the apple store . Make a Genius Bar appointment and they will help you. Most likely they will give you a new phone. Hope this helps

  • IPhone 6 won't charge after 8.02 update

    Hi,
        Since the 8.02 update my iPhone 6 won't charge from any of my 3rd party cables and will only charge using the apple cable; despite my 3m cable being "apple approved" and the battery indicator showing its charging on the phone, the power still goes down even while it's plugged in and it's saying the phone is charging. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue since the update? All chargers are working fine on my iPad running 7.1.2 and worked fine while I was using 8.01 on my phone however since updating to 8.02 the only charger that seems to work is the official apple one which I'd rather not use as they aren't long enough. Any help would be appreciated.

    For the iPhone 4S, Apple seems to have used a faulty WiFi chip which in some cases seems not to be able to handle the load of the iOS. This can lead to overheating issues which can eventually cause a hardware failure
    As customers in good faith we bought this product
    We paid a large amount of money  (I paid some $800 last year) since we believed we bought a quality product in the believe we could use it -with good care of course- for at least 2, 3 or even 4 years to come
    We upgraded the firmware from iOS 5 or 6 to iOS 7 since Apple advised us to do so (as is very obvious from the constant messages in the settings menu of the iPhone and in iTunes)
    We followed all the regular procedures as advised by Apple in the upgrade
    There is no way how Apple could hold us responsible for having done a 'wrong' installation, making us responsible for our own actions.
    Apple has been aware for over a year the Apple 4S WiFi chip is not reliable (A Google search on iPhone 4S Wifi greyed out will proof my point) and was therefor fully aware this "greyed out" problem - which also occurred when iOS 6 was introduced, might very likely occur again with the introduction of iOS 7.
    Since Apple did not inform her customers of this risk the customers were not given the choice to either upgrade (knowing the risks) or staying with the previous (working) version.
    Apple does not enable the users to return to the previous version of iOS, and even if Apple would allow the users to return to a previous version, there is a great risk the hardware has become seriously damaged already in the upgrade to iOS 7, making this not a feasible option.
    As result of this us, we, customers are now stuck with an unusable iPhone for which we paid plenty of money and so support from Apple whatsoever in solving this issue.
    I feel that Apple should take their responsibility and help her customers in solving this quality issue.
    ( One thing I am sure of, if Apple would be a car manufacturer or an airplane manufacturer they would never get away with this, and would be forced to do a recall)
    My message to Apple:
    You know thousands of your customers are affected by this fault. It is now time to act. Taking responsibility never hurts (even if you for some reason feel you are not fully to blame) It gives you credit. And credit gives you loyal customers.

  • My iPhone 3GS won't charge. It saids this accessory is not supported but the charger works on other IPhones. What do I do???

    My iPhone 3GS won't charge! Whenever I plug it in it saids charging not supported by this accessory. What do I do?? Help please!!!

    You can clean the iPhone's dock connector with an old dry toothbrush.
    You won't know for certain, but if no change after making sure the dock connector port is clean, more than likely there is some damage.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby where it can be determined if there is damage to the dock connector port or if there is another hardware problem.

  • My iPhone 3GS won't charge at all what do I do?

    my iPhone wont charge please help!

    Regarding iPhone 3GS won't charge:
    I have the same iPhone, and also sync with  iTunes on my Mac Book Pro computer.  After just a few months after purchasing my NEW iPhone 3GS, the charger stopped working and would not show up on the computer.  After trouble shooting my equipment, I discovered that the USB CORD was no longer working, NOT the AC Jack Component. My phone was still under warranty for 1year with Apple Care and extended purchased insurance  with VerizonWireless.  I contacted VerizonWireless as per my contract agreement, and was transferred to Apple Care Support.  Apple Care informed me: A new [Apple Manufactured Original Equipment parts] would be replaced free of charge, BUT, I would first need to secure the return of the defective equipment with a deposit of the purchase price on my credit card. After the receipt of my returned defective equipment, my credit card would be credited back for the full deposit amount.  This was NOT acceptable to me.  I called Verizon and they mailed me a new [VerizonWireless Manufactured part] USB Cord. After a time, I had to replace that USB cord also. Apparently the USB Cord burns out after a time of use.  SOLUTION; I keep about 4 new USB Cords in stock at home!!  You may also need to check if your iPhone software is up to date, this could effect it's performance also.
    Hope this helps

    After installing the new IOS my iphone 4s won't charge and less I restart it. Why is appl this happening? and What is apple doing about this?

    The iPhone has a hardware problem - with the battery or something else.
    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If purchased new in October of 2012, it remains under warranty. Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
