My iPhone 5 charging port or charger broke?
Ok we'll the first charger it sometimes will say charging and it sometimes won't… So I bought another charger and it was doing the same thing then it went completely out -.- now I bought another one and it sometimes won't charge my phone but when I plugged my friends iPhone 5 on there it AUTOMATICALLY STARTED CHARGING! Now my phone died yesterday and every time I put the charger in there, it just shoes the signal that means plug charger in there in order to charge and it like only 2 times it shows the signal where it means its charging and you have to wait for it to come on… Now when it comes on it says 2% with a red bar with NO CHARGING SIGNAL IN THE BAR and then it dies. Now that only happens to me twice the rest of the time since yesterday it's been dead and won't respond to the charger •\_/• So my question is what is wrong with my charging port? And how do I fix it? Also, I noticed some dust and stuff in the charging port but its been in there for 3 months and it chooses to act up now!
Sounds like your charging port has some unwanted debris in it. DON'T try to take it out, because you might break it indefinitely. Take it to your nearest Apple Store, and tell them that you think something is wrong with it.
Since it is a iPhone 5, it is still new and should have the warranty on it. They will either fix your current phone, or replace it for little to no cost.
I recommend backing up your phone before going to Apple in case they do give you a new phone.
How to fix broken charger port
- Why port forwarding on port 80? I have a foscam home security camera and it needs port forwarding on port 80 if I want to use my iphone to view it from outside. Surely enough, it works as soon as I open that port. But isn't port 80 open by default? Else how could I view http websites in the first place. I don't get it. It's already open so why open it again?
- What is different of the new iPhone 5 charging port? Since the iPhone 5 has a new charging port that is smaller than the original, is the charging port the same as the Andriod charging port? Or is it completely different? I have an Andriod phone and I was wondering if I was able to get the iPhone 5, will I be able to use my Andriod chargers for the iPhone 5? What is different about the iPhone 5 charging port?
