At the iPhone hacks section.
thanks :D

is there anything i need to do after installing and restarting spring board?

Not sure bro, I never used it before.
But by reading the information on the particular cydia package sounds like its not gonna work for what you need it to do.
Important notes: Resupported 4 WILL NOT enable charging with cords that do not already charge your device. That is a hardware, not a software limitation.
Read the info before you install it for further details on how it works and what it does. If it doesnt work you can always remove it though;)

Probably a prob with the particular plug or charger.
Not all will work, I had a few that wouldnt charge either.

restore as NEW...
if that doesn't fix it then check dirt/lint in contacts

its on all the time even when the charger isnt plugged in,

ill give the terminals a blast with some air at work tommorow see what happens.

ive been told to restore how ever im on a jail break/ unlock... just scared tht if i restore via itunes itll put me on 4.3 and ill lose my unlock/ JB

Just make sure if you do restore, you do so via PwnageTool. Never let iTunes do its thing automatically.

Oh, so that screen is on even when you dont have anything plugged into the iphone?
Then it sounds like a hardware issue or water damage with the phone.
Not a good sign.
If you do restore use a custom IPSW created with pwnage to maintain your unlock.
