Iphone 3gs won't turn on unless connected to wall charger

I dropped my iPhone the other day and it just shut off. Now it won't turn back on unless it is plugged into a wall charger. Not even a laptop usb will charge it and it can't connect to iTunes. Once it does turn on after I plug it in, if I even unplug it, it shuts off again.

Your internal battery is depleted, that happened to my first iPhone.

Your battery is probably bad, Or if it happened right when you dropped it, it may have somehow come disconnected, which is rather unlikely but apparently it has happened. I would take it to the Apple store and have them look at it, they will tell you what is wrong with it for free.

You jarred the battery connector loose. It's a real bear to replace on the 3gs.

  • My iphone won't stay turned off unless its plugged into the wall? I shut my phone off, but as soon as it turns off it comes back on. But then i plugged it into the charger and it stays off. I then unplugged it and it came back on. What the hell is going on and how do i fix it?!
  • My iPhone won't turn on unless its plugged into a wall charger? My first issue is, my phone won't turn on unless its plugged into the wall. When it finally turns on after being plugged in it tells me my phone needs to be restored and that it can't make or receive calls until so, well great but, when i unplug it from the wall it immediately turns off and will not turn on when plugged into my computer. I've tried different USB cables but none of them work.
  • My iphone won't charge with a wall charger or just the usb? I have a iPhone 4, and i need to use it NOW. Its urgent and it won't charge. I tried the wall charger and it would only charge for like a second.same with the usb charger. I don't have time to buy anything at the moment i just need instructions, please.
  • My iphone 5s internet won't work unless its connected to a Wi-Fi? When i'm outside my internet never works, i have 4g and its always turned on, i'm on 02. On top of the iphone when i'm out it either say's 'E' , 'gprs' or '3G' but whatever one it says the internet still dosnt work.
