does it only not connect or do you still get the power surge error ??
if you still have that problem - open the phone again and check it for possible fluid damages, shorted or burnt parts..

How will i know if parts have shorted?
if there was a fluid damage, you should see some white/greenish residue, but if it was some "colored" fluid - it could also look different (like the MacBook i bought on ebay with a blue curacao damage - everything was blue and sticky)

Before replacing the dock did you try connecting to a different PC I have had that error with a number of devices but it was caused by a faulty USB port.

I didnt see anywhere where i can comment or ask a question so i'm just putting it here. I was wondering if you ever found a solution to this darby? I'm having the same problem so i got a new dock connector and the problem persist. If you've made any progress please please please let me know!!! Thank You

My iPhone would charge but there was no sound or lightning bolt when i plugged in in apart from 1 usb but i had the usb device not recognised problem. i changed the dock assembly and now ehen i plug it in there is no response from the iPhone or the pc. i havent checked if its charging should i let my battery drain to test for charging and then report back?

you don't need to discharge it completely - only enough to see the difference

well when i plug the turned off iPhone to the pc it turns on but ill check for charge asap
by darby
I discharged it an recharged it but when it's charging there no lightning bolt in the corner or "bleep" when i plug it in

do you still have the old dock assembly ? i would put the old one back into the phone - maybe the new one is faulty!
