Chosen Solution
I’ve been in the Apple repair business for almost 3 years now and I’d have to say I’m stumped on this one, can anyone help me out please? I have an iPhone 5 that would not charge, after replacing the battery with a new one along with the charging port, I still can not get the iPhone to charge let alone display any sort of charging symbol or anything. I went very carefully when replacing the charging port and had no issues. Can anyone give me an idea as to what to check or even replace that can fix this issue? Thanks Adam
Sounds like the phone boots as normal on a charged battery, but when connected to charger it does not detect the charger and show you a lightning symbol next to the battery percentage. This ’no detect’ problem is a board-level repair. The only thing you can really do is 1–try another battery (this was the solution on the last one I had like this!) and 2– look carefully at the area around the dock connector to see if there is any visible damage to the board. If none, then it is likely either the charging power management ic or the U2 charging ic that needs to be replaced—neither of which are feasible repairs for the average shop. If you search U2 replace, there is a post around here somewhere with someone that said they could change U2. I could change your charging power management ic, but I wouldn’t attempt U2 professionally. Good luck! jessa
To rule out motherboard damage try the motherboard in a known working iPhone 5 and it it still won’t charge the battery then it’s a fault with the motherboard
I have replaced my iphone 5 battery and an itunes light shows up once plugged into the wall. but once plugged into the computer it doesn’t even boot up. any suggestions?
m y iphpne won’t on affter replace charging port
you can also check out the motherboard. I say this because the same thing happened with my iPhone 7 +
