The dock connector on my iphone 1G was broken. What replacement could I buy from you to replace the connector? Could I actually use the iphone 3G dock connector? Appreciate your response.

A foreign object was recently and errantly jammed into the charging port on my step son's 1st generation iPhone. The phone will no longer charge.

What part do I need to replace?

iPhone 1st Generation: Is there anyway to repair the dock connector flex cable contacts?

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:29:51 -0700

This phone keeps giving me problem after problem. Dead strip lead me to replace the whole lcd and I damaged the battery connection in the process so I replaced the battery and now it looks like I damaged my dock connector flex cable as well. Everything on the phone runs fine except no connectivity with iTunes/charger/dock. I spent awhile just jiggling the connector in the port and managed to get iTunes to recognize my phone very briefly. It looks like the cable itself may be damaged very slightly. Two or three of the gold contacts on the flex cable look worn. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas to restore these contacts. Thanks

iPhone 1st Generation: iPhone doesn't charge or sync, but it can recognize usb cable

Sat, 02 Mar 2013 07:52:22 -0700

My iPhone worked properly for two years. One day I tried to charge it with wall charger, but nothing happened. I tried to sync, also nothing. But when the device is off and I plug in the wall charger (or usb cable from pc), it boots. Cables are ok, wall charger too (it works with another iPhone). I also tried clean dock connector, it didn't help. What's wrong?
