After shutting down my iPhone 5 I realized it’s battery went to 0 and stayed there. I’ve been charging it for 1-3 months but no success has occurred. Can you find an answer to this problem? It won’t matter by Christmas cos’ I’m getting a £49 phone which actually looks nice.
Is this a good question?

The 5 series has an issue with the U2 IC (charge control microchip). They can often be damaged with aftermarket charge cables. If you have a ammeter, such as the portapow, you can see if the phone is actually pulling a charge or not.
The issue could also be the battery itself. If it is worn out too much, it won’t hold a charge and could be causing the issue as well

I guess that's kind of the problem, the phone died after holding a few months of bad broken charging cables and it seems to be the capacitor causing the issue. Thanks!

I don't understand anything about this issue.
How can you realize its battery went to zero when the phone was shut down?
Why would you be charging your phone for MONTHS at a time? And why can't you remember if it's one, two, or three months? That's a heck of a spread.
And if you're so excited about getting a new phone, why worry about this one?

Why don't you stop complaining eh? It's been a year, that phone could've been up and running, next time give a suggestion. The world is already &&^&@@ up.
