Chosen Solution
Hey guys, I am having trouble charging my iphone 5. I’ve tried multiple cables (Originals and 3rd party), cleaned the charging port, replaced the charging port, replaced the battery, and swapped mother boards with a working iphone 5. It seems to me there is something wrong with the motherboard but I have no idea if there is a broken capacitor or any damaged tiny parts. I have no idea what to look for anyway and would appreciate some help. Like in the question title, itunes does recognize the phone but it simply will not charge. This was also the only other similar question I have found on this site and the web but sadly it doesn’t seem they were able to figure it out either. iTunes recognizes it while connected, but cannot charge.
Eddiel, Rewind a bit: when did this start to happen, was it after a bad drop or liquid spill or some attempted repair? Also use good magnification to look at and around the battery connector on the board. Is the connector well soldered? Traces of corrosion? Any tiny component seems missing, part torn off? Poke at them ever gently with a needle to verify - battery disconnected of course.
iPhone 5, same problem. Started suddenly today. It’s showing it’s charging but battery wont charge and instead battery percentage goes down…
