Hey All, Haven't posted in a long time so I'm back with a bang haha!
Since I upgraded to iOS5, my charge port has ceased to work. I get the 'Charging is not supported with this accessory' anytime I plug in my cord, from anywhere between 30 seconds after plugging in, and an hour. I have three different Apple USB cords and an external wall charger and none seem to work. I get intermittent service with the external wall charger, enough to charge the phone to about 70%.
I took it to Apple and made an appt with the Genius Bar. After waiting 15 minuets to be seen a small lady came out to tell me that the device was probably water damaged and causing the connection points to rot. She then violently scrubbed the inside of the port with a wire brush, removing the debris from inside. I was told to bring in my cords and they would replace them happily. The phone charged for a while in the Apple store, however will not charge at home with the new leads.
Any suggestions/advice other than going back to the Apple store would be appreciated!
Thanks!
