N97 spontaneous charging and a possibly damaged mi...
Just sitting around with my N97 on the desk next to me.. All of a sudden, the white charge light turns on. That's a bit strange, unlock the screen to see the battery indicator shows the device is charging. Wouldn't mind, but the phone isn't plugged in to anything?!
I have a sneaking suspicion the micro USB connector isn't particularly healthy on my handset. Not that I've used it much (I don't seem able to get any of the PC software to work.. backups fail due to internal errors, syncing copies all my music every time I connect, even if there are no new tracks or changes, firmware update.. what firmware update?!)
Will nokia "repair/replace" a handset with a defective micro usb port? Further more, why would this phone suddenly think it is charging?
Seems strange.
Not Charge

IPad screen and alupen: possible damage?
Hi everyone,
I have been using the justmobile alupen on my ipad in the last two months.
I use it with notability, using the zoom function, that makes me write at the bottom of the screen.
I have now realised that the area where I write catches dirt and fingerprints more easily.
This happens also if I do not use the stylus at all.
It is also more difficult to clean, and the feeling under my fingers is not as smooth as in other areas of the screen.
Is it possible that the screen has got damaged in some way?
Thank you
FEDERICOAnything is possible. You can look on that pen's support site, see if other users report issues. And even if nothing is reported, you may want to look into a screen protector. There's one by Zagg that is $30 but has a lifetime warranty, or you can go for others, it's a matter of personal choice.
There is no real data on how screens are affected by styli, but common sense would tell me that any time one thing touches another there will eventually be an effect. Your styli may not be hurting the screen itself as it may be affecting the special coating on the screen. -
hi please hellp i lost my charger and i used a fake chines charger sinc i conected my iphone to that chines made charger my iphone now does not charge or switch on is that the case of that charger cause all that damage it heated up a lot please help thank you
went through a couple iphones in two weeks (no joke) had to keep returning to the apple store which is an hour and a half away from my hometown (parents weren't too happy with the amount they spent on petrol!!) first of all i got a replacement iphone because the one i had wasnt playing music, just before my iphone started playing up i had purchased a fake charger online after losing my genuine one, the fake one looked genuine enough. So i proceeded to use the fake charger once i had my replacement to find my replacement iphone wasnt holding charge and turning off itself etc. (after being charged using the fake charger) i returned the replacement iphone and the apple support man at genius desk suggested it could be the charger (i didnt think this could be possible, a charger causing so much trouble) so i blamed apple. got another replacement and i decided to purchase a genuine apple charger (just put of curiousity) iphone is now working fine, keeping battery had no problems. therefore i believe fake chargers may be appealing to buy (as the cost is cheap) but purchasing a genuine one is a small price to pay considering all the trouble i went through!

My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?
- After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod? If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
- If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?
The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly. -
MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?
The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one. If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity. -
My iphone 5 won't charge and it's in perfect condition, I dont drop it and it's not cracked. I tried multiple chargers, none of them are damaged and my outlets work with other things so the problem is my phone. What's wrong with it and what should I do? Please help me I need my phone for work.
Make sure there's nothing blocking a contact in the charging port of the phone.

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 wrong.
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.

water damage iphone 4 was coming on when plugged in but not charging and not holding any power so changed battery it then worked untill battery power ran out and would not charge so changed the docking port and now it comes on with apple symbol and switches back off after 10 to 15 seconds like its rebooting and then just keeps repeating any help please
Help with what? Apple does not repair iPhones, they replace them. Apple does not sell parts. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts.
Talk to whoever did the initial repair. Odds are the logic board is damaged. It's probably time for a new phone.
Your phone is no longer eligible for a discounted out of warranty replacement. -
I feel uncomfortable using apple account since last night i have created apple id and already charged for that. Also i downloaded one applicatiion (istorybook) which is said it free, and it was ok for last night.

I do not know what you mean by charger. Cable?
Not Charge

- 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.

I have a new iphone 6 (64 Gb) that i have had for roughly 2 weeks. Last night i plugged in my charger that came in the box with the phone and plugged it into an outlet that is not used for anything else. My phone suddenly stopped charging and gave me the message that the accessory is not supported. The box of the charger seemed hot at the time. Thinking it was a faulty cord, i borrowed a friends charger today (also the original apple charger) and it would not charge and gave me the same message. I tried three more chargers and still no charge and i got the same message every single time. My phone is now dead and will not turn on. Can someone explain what is wrong? And if i am going to need a new phone and if warranty should cover it since it was not user caused damage
warranty will cover it. Did you try only by changing the power adapter or did you change both cable and power adapter?
if you did the latter, see this page: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/battery-power/
you'll be able to contact Apple Support from there. -
Since I restored my iPod, it displays an icon with an adapter charger and an electrical outlet. So I connected with an AC charger as the demand for more than 48 hours but no change. My iPod no longer recognized in itunes or my computer and functions no longer work. I tried to reset it, Apple appears to leave room for a few seconds later the same icon with an electrical outlet and impossible to put it into disk mode. Help me please I don't know what to do. And forgive me my bad English I speak only French.
