iPhone shut down, only powers on when connected to charger
Hi there,
I often do iPhone repairs but i have a question about an iPhone that is showing strange behaviour.
This iPhone 4 just goes black all of a suden. I doenst repond to anything, its not working at all at that moment. Also a reset is not possible at that time.
It is not possible to power on the iPhone. Only when connected to a charger is can go on. When its on everything is working fine, shows up in iTunes etc.
I replaced the battery with a new one a did a software recovery. Still the problems accur. It doesnt seem to matter if the phone is connected to a charging source or not, it just shuts off random. When the phone is on everything is working normally.
Another thing that i noticed, when its shuts down you wont see the spinning circle that you would see when manually powering off the iPhone, it just goes dead inmediatly. When the phone is powered off manually, it will also go on the normal way. When it shuts down itself this is not working
The battery is working fine, the phone accepts and charges it just like normal.
Home & sleep button are working perfect.
Any ideas what to do with this *****
***UPDATE*****
The iPhone is now constantly fibrating, it was charging on my pc. Now it wont go on but keeps fibrating :S
When putting the iPhone in DFU mode and try to recover it gives errors. like '2005 and 106'
Any ideas? Any help would be apreciated

This sounds like you got water or damaged the Doc connector where the charger plugs into so its not charging the battery so when you unplug it just dies straight away. replace the doc connector and take it from there as the battery is next in line! i got one for a fiver on ebay!!!
i dont think this causes the problem. The phone is perfectly working without beeing connected to a charger. It only needs it to power on. The battery is charging. I had a new half full batery connected to the phone. After charging is shows up as 100%. Also when the phone turned itself off i cant power it on. When you power it off manually the normal way it is able to go on without the need of a charger
Dont think this is the case, the phone will charge, and can operate without beeing connected the charger. But this keeps getting more strange, i wanted to power on the phone but it displayed the battery empty. So i connected to the charger for a few hours. Now the outside part of the screen is white and is flashing really fast. Like if the LCD is broken. When i connected it to the charger it was working fine, after two hours this is the result.....
