My iphone wont charge and my PC can't see it.

My iphone wont charge and my PC can't see it. can anybody help.  At first a yellow warning triangle appeared saying this device is not compatible with charging. but that does not show now.

Most likely a hardware problem, which it may be possible to fix. Get a magnifier and look in the dock connector on the bottom of the phone. If there is dirt or moisture in it clean it with a dry toothbrush. If a pin is bent try to straighten it. Also try a different cable. If all of these fail the phone is broken.

  • HT201412 What can I do when iPhone wont charge and "This accessory may not be supported" is displayed

    I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.2.  Some times it will charge up to 15% or a little more, but it trickles down after that. The upgrade was a slow, incremental process.  I had to restart it several times. 

    A couple of weeks ago I tried cleaning with air and with a can of control cleaner that I used to used on variable resistors and capacitors.  I thought that improved things, but it didnot seem to last.  Today I sprayed Isopropyl alcohol into the receptical and the plug.  It seems to be slowly charging this evening with those two pieces of equipment.

    I'm afraid you'll have to get it serviced by Apple and you'll have to pay for a replacement:
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

    Try this...

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...

    Resetting the Logic Board
    Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems. Whenever you have a
    unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure
    before replacing any modules.
    1 Unplug the computer.
    2 Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
    3 Open the side access panel.
    4 Remove the battery from the logic board.
    5 Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
    6 Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/-
    direction.
    7 Reassemble the computer and test the unit.
     Cheers, Tom

  • My iphone wont charge can the charging port be repaired or replaced

    my iphone wont charge can the charging port be replaced or repaired

    Apple does not repair devices at all.
    As stated, you can elect to find a local repair shop to do the work, but understand that Apple does not sell parts either.
    Alternatively, you can choose to do an Out of Warranty replacement via Apple and get a 90 day warranty on the replacement device.
    Another option would be to replace the device with a more current model.

  • All of a sudden my iphone stopped charging and you can't hear the music through my ihome iH150 when I connect it to the dock, what can I do to fix the ihome? The ihome does turn on and I already checked for dock possible problems and I don't see anything.

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

  • HT201412 iphone wont charge/turn on

    My Iphone wont charge i have never dropped it or spilt water on it its been a case eversince i purchased it the battery has now gone so it wont turn oni have tried charging through the laptop and through the mains with apple approved chargers and still nothing can anyone help please?

    If the device battery has been depleated to the point there is no charge in the device - it MAY take some time before you get an indication that the device is charging. Please charge the device into a know good charging system ie... good USB cord and charging adapter. Leave it there for a period of 2-3 hours to see if the charging indicator does not show up on the front of the devices screen.
    Good luck.

    I do not know what you mean by charger. Cable?
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
