The phone charges only when OFF
Hello, I tried in several ways to repair this iphone 4s.
I cannot charge it, I tried to connect it to several sockets, with several cables, to the PC, but nothing shows up on the phone and it doesn't charge.
The only thing that happens is when the phone is off, if I connect the cable (to PC or wall socket), it turns on. Also, if I keep it off I can charge it. So I guess it somehow still recognizes it.
I already replaced battery, docking connector twice (one from ebay and three from aliexpress) and checked the two inductors (which are good).
Is this a good question?
Hmm. I'm not really sure what else to check.. It's probably not worth it any more to spend more time and money on a iPhone 4S which has dropped significantly in value.
iPhone 5 2nd hand or refurbished go at around $130. Well buying any other 2nd hand phone or prepaid phone is probably a better choice.
