Who is telling you that?

in most cases of the non charging iPhones is the fuse toasted and not the charging ic

those kind of parts are mostly sold on ebay and some cell phone oriented websites. and of course - directly on some chines pages.

the prices are horrible, you will also need special tools to do that kind of repair. the minimum would be a hot air- or better an infrared soldering station.

The fuses are Soldering Surface Mount Technology Components (SMT) and are not easy to replace. Some info on here and here with some interesting ideas right here.

For the availability of those fuses, you can check ebay.com or Mouser.com Good Luck

by

You can try just a thin wire or solder bridge as well

by

replacing any fuse with a wire is a REALLY BAD idea!

karim, is this the same phone as on here No Power, No Charging, No iTunes

Is it necessary to have a hot-air soldering iron? could you just fit it and glue it down?

No you can't. Glue is non-conductive and will not last.

by

I mean put it in position and hold it there while adding some hot glue to the edges to keep it in place. Sounds tricky, is there anyone who would do this for me for some money?

Cheers

by

Leo, it needs to be solder to fulfill its functions. Sorry, glue is not the answer for a proper fix. Depending on your geographic location, I'd suggest you find some professional help to solder it for you.

by

Ok thanks I will do that.

Before spending a fair amount of money is there a way to make sure that the power IC is the problem? The fuses are not broken
