Belkin product damaged my iPhone?
I bought a Belkin Charge + Sync Dock for my iPhone 5 (the one that includes the cable) in February. It was a flimsy, crappy device from the start, but I figured I might as well use it.
Four months have passed and now the lightning port on my iPhone 5 has started to deteriorate. I would only charge my phone with the dock and I wouldn't use the lightning cable that came with my phone or any other cord for that matter. I went on a trip so I took my lightning cable with me and it would only charge at an odd angle. I also noticed the cord wobbled significantly inside the port. This became true with the dock as well. The dock was flimsy and wobbly at the start and now would only charge at a very odd angle too.
Any cord I use barely works, and my phone does not charge at night anymore. I know it is not a problem with my cords, because I tried my friend's cords and they also did not work. I know the dock ruined my port because that was the only thing I charged with for four months.
I know I'll need a replacement iPhone. Will my Apple 1-year limited warranty cover this (I do not have AppleCare)? More importantly, would Belkin let me return the product for a refund or even get me a replacement phone? How should I go about contacting Belkin?
As to replacing your Iphone just go to the apple store and explain that it doesn't charge anymore because of the port (try to avoid telling them about the belkin charger) for your replacement.
As to the dock I would go to the retailer you got it from. First though check the packaging to see if it came with any included warranty, if not then it is unlikely to get an exchange or refund.
- Will Apple provide me an iPhone 4S product replacement? I had purchased an iphone 4s about 2 years ago and have encountered issues with battery life, scratches little chips on the side and volume coming out in only one of the speakers. Will Apple provide me with a product replacement for my iPhone if i take it to them?
- Why isn't my belkin wireless router working? I just bought a belkin wireless router (type wpa/wpa2) and I can't seem to get it to work. I activated it on my ipod as well as my iphone and laptop, but nothing is working. When I set it up, the light that said "modem" under it was red even though I connected it to the modem already.
- Why is Belkin Wi-Fi on iPhone not working? In settings it says that I have got the network and am logged in but in the top left hand corner it shows the mobile data symbol not the normal Wi-Fi one. I stopped using mobile data (lost signal) but when I tried to use Internet it said something along the lines of the webpage failed to load because safari is not connected to the Internet. This is really annoying and it is costing me loads to write this!
