I opened my iphone 4 to clean inside it.But unfortunatley the cable of the battery got broken.The two small lines broke.Now my iphone works but its not charged.Means iphone gets on ,even syncs with itunes but it doesnt get charge.is there any to do with those broken two cables ?I found that those two broken cables were the middle pins of the terminal.Now when

i connect to the itunes it syncs and gets booted after few minutes ..How can i solve the problem ?Is this problem really because of those two broken wires in the battery cable or there might be other reason too ??

thank you

dipen, it would help if you post a picture on here to show the damage. If you are not sure about how to repair it, and/or if it requires some very specialized soldering, try to contact the user "hectordtruong" on here. He does board level soldering and might help you out.

Thank you for your reply as you said in the reply " if your battery connector, or any of the "cables" to

it has broken off, your phone will not charge and will go

through random reboots. "..yeah I am going through the same situation and I am talking about the ribbon cable between the battery body and the battery next end connector ,where the two small wires are broken(the ribbon cable tore down).Anyways If I have to replace the battery then will I get the same original battery or I would get the battery that will be a second branded ?How much would be the price of the battery ?

dipen, if your battery connector, or any of the "cables" to it has broken off, your phone will not charge and will go through random reboots. You will have to repair it to get our phone to fully function again. Always start with the obviously broken part first, anything else will just be a guess. Hope this helps, good luck.
