Alaa, "phone shows u that it is connected and in charging " is usually caused by a failed/damaged charging coil. Check for any physical damage, or if you have the knowledge and tools, check for function. You want to start by checking 3 inductors. For that, of course, you need a multimeter, or at least an ohm meter, to check for continuity. I hate to refer to those as fuses, but they most certainly control part of the charging circuit. First one is reference designator L3, it is a FERR-120-OHM-1.5A inductor. L4, right below it , has the identical value. Next would be the charger inductor L28 2.2UH-1.8A-155MOHM. All of these are pretty much available at mouser. com or digikey.com. Check the Diode D604, located just above L28. Hope this helps, good luck.

Do u mean that the connector on the mother board might be gone or blocked due to the be connection? Could that be a reason of not charging the battery?

Obviously I rubbed it with teeth brush as I also expected that but without using alcohol would that be enought?

allright sir i cleaned the connect on the board and still the same :) strainge really now im thinking it might be something in the charging route stopping electricity from reaching the battery, when i set it on DFU mode it stills on all the time but the lonley think not working is charge!!!
