My Iphone 4s will not charge, flash won't turn off. Is it completley broken?

My iphone was completley dead and when I tried to charge it the flash came on and it won't charge or turn on now. I've tried restarting it and at first the Apple logo would pop up but now it is doing nothing but saying the battery needs to be charged, but it won't charge because the flash won't go off! Plus, when I plug it into my mac book itunes doesn't recognize it.

What on earth do you mean by shattered? Can you post a picture?
It's always possible that the connector was damaged but not to the point that chargers wouldn't work. With continued use, the damage got worse until the connector could no longer feed electricity into the phone.
It sounds to me like you need to get your phone replaced but only the folks at an Apple store can say for sure.

    my battery on my iphone 4 will not charge unless the phone is turned off. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Is this observed as the iPhone is plugged into a Computer or into an AC outlet; or both?  In any case you should try a Reset of the iPhone by depressing the Sleep button and the Home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears then wait for the Reset to bring your iPhone back to the Lock-Screen. 

  • My iphone will not charge unless it is turned off

    My 4s will not charge unless its off then when it gets a certain amount of charge it turns back on and doesnt charge again  It is also recognized when hooked up by the hp laptop but not itunes

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    Please be more specific about "it wont connect back to the computer" so that appropriate troubleshooting steps can be provided.

    please help me!

    Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Try different good USB Cable. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty, make Genius appointment and take iPhone to Apple for resolution of problem.

  • My iphone 4S will not charge unless the power is switched off.  How to fix?

    Hello,
    My iPhone 4S will not charge unless it is switched off.  This happened suddenly with no other symptom several weeks ago.  If I plug the charger in, while powered on, the phone doesn't appear to detect it has been plugged in and the battery icon doesn't change its display to show charging.  Charging only happens when the phone is powered off completely.
    I did some searches for this type of problem and saw it has happened to a few with earlier version iphones, but didn't see any published solutions.
    A visit to the local Apple store didn't help either as I was told had to make an appointment; can't make an appointment for awhile because out of the country and no Apple stores where I'm at.
    This is a very annoying problem.  Anyone else have this happen and have a fix?

    I got this problem solved and just want to let others know what it was.
    I followed ewdel1's advice and brought my phone in to have it looked at and sure enough, was told that this is a problem others have had and it was due to a faulty integrated circuit.  Luckily, I was able to take this in to be looked at when I did because my 1 year warranty was about to expire in a week.
    Apple replaced my 4S with a "new" phone.  The replacement looks and works good as new, so happy I didn't have to go through a hassle and the replacement was very straightforward.

    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 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

    Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

    Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

  • Iphone 4 will not charge and itunes does not recogise it at all.  When I plug it in to charge it says that it needs to be restored.

    My iphone 4 will not charge when I plug it in, it will turn on but it says that it needs to be restored and will not do anything else.  When I plug it into itunes it isn't recognized at all.  I took it into the verizon store and they were not any help at all.  My phone isn't under warranty anymore so they don't care.  Please help, I had to go back to my old phone, a droid and I hate it so much. 

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.

  • Iphone 4  will not charge until battery totally dead

    My iphone 4 will not charge until the batter is run fullly down. After the phone powers itself down automatically due to lack of charge. Then and only then the phone will take a charge. Has anyone else had this happen or know how to fix this?

  • 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.
