Chosen Solution
I got quite an interesting iPhone which charges only with an aftermarket cable and doesn’t recognize original cable lol ! Also it takes 7-8 hours to charge and 3 hours to discharge completely when left idle with network and wifi. I have replaced complete lightning part and battery as well so that’s definitely not the issue with iPhone. Here are my possible assumptions/solutions but need your suggestions.
- There is issue with power IC and should try replacing it.
- Mother board is damaged due to using it with aftermarket cable maybe for overnight charges. What you guys say on it ? AND yes i have tried restoring it and it’s out of warranty.
I will say number 2 U2 chip
Did you try with more than 1 original Apple cable? if not try another. Try clean the port with rubbing alcohol. I noticed you said you changed the battery and it still only have 3 hours of battery ? that sounds weird to me, more weird than the charging problem. To understand the lightning cable real fast I need to explain something. The tip of the lightning cable actually has a small chip inside of it that talks to the charging port and asks permission to charge or not to charge. So I dont think it is the cables fault. I have used many off brand cables on my iPhone without any issue. So I think it has something to do with the component. Take it apart and put it back together
