Iphone 5 charger doesn't work?
I recently bought an offbrand ( not apple ) iphone 5 charger, and it will not charge my phone? I'm in need of a new one and would like to find a cheaper one online but worried about getting another off brand charger that doesn't work. Is there some software on the 5 that doesn't allow offbrand chargers?
You bought a knockoff. What did you expect.
Try buying a new chord on amazon, look at where its shipped from, make sure it isn't shipped from china. I use an offbrand and have never had a problem but I always check where its shipped from, not that its a fail safe method as others can order from china then ship from that location, but it helps limit problems.
Use authentic apple chargers next time knockoffs don't always work plus a new charger chord is real cheap on amazon
It may not be the charger.
I had a similar problem with my apple brand charger from my iPhone 4, would not charge my iPhone 5.
check to see if it will charge other devices, mine did.
After getting tech support from apple, my phone is only 5 weeks old, they had me
backup
restore as new phone
then restore my phone
they say this restores the firmware! Sounds a little weird but it did resolve my charging issue.
my phone now will charge with the other charger and all extra cables i've bought.
- Why doesn't my iphone 5c charger work? The little bronze pins on the tip of the charger isn't broken or bent, its not my outlet or iphone since I tested it on several outlets and on my laptop. All it does is show the symbol of 'inserting the charger into the iphone' Is it possible that the charger can break if the wire or cable is bent too much?
- When I plug my iPhone 4S into the charger, it doesn't work? I have to move around my phone and charger for it to start charging, and it is very frustrating. I can't buy a new charger either
- My iphone internal speaker doesn't work on phone calls but does work when hearing a voicemail? The speaker to talk won't work but will work to play music, but not while making a phone call. Or i could hear my voicemail but when making a call i can't hear anything.
- My iphone 5s will not turn on. Hard reset doesn't work and itunes doesn't recognise it My phone hasn't turned on in 5 days. Doesn't respond to the charger or being plugged into the computer. I've tried the hard reset a thousand times and nothing happens. ITunes won't recognize my phone so I can't do a factory reset. Can anyone tell me another way of resetting my phone?
