Hi, i've been having problems with my phone starting with dropping and cracking the screen a few months ago. The phone looked bad, but worked just fine, except I started having issues charging (could have damaged the charge dock when it dropped). I thought it was my battery because I would plug it in to charge and it would not charge, just gave the outlet icon indicating it was plugged in, but the battery showed dead. An Apple Genius told me it was a bug in my OS that was reading the battery wrong and was actually charged 100% but sending a 10% charge signal.
Reinstalled the OS and all seamed ok for a while with the problem showing up on occasion. Fast forward three months later and this time i could not get it to charge at all! Trust me I treid every combination of buttons out there, the charge on my battery died and my phone was dead.
I read battery life is approximately 18 months so i ordered the replacement screen and battery. Of course it would be too much to ask that these items roll in together and desperate to get my phone back and running, i replaced the battery. All was well with my phone (even with the old cracked screen) but still could not charge. I received the replacement glass and digitizer, replaced it, but could not test it with a dead phone. I ordered a new charge dock kit (super easy to replace!). So glad i ordered the kit, thanks to YouTube video recommendation. Anyway, i replaced the phone dock, and my phone is now charging... YEAH!!!!!!
But now my screen is not turning on!! My phone is working, (i think) because my alarms go off, I hear the charger when I plug it in, but when I call my phone all calls are going straight to vm??? Of course i can't do anything about any of the above since my screen does not work i can only snooze the alarms (really annoying)
What could this be? i've opened my phone several times and disconnected and reconnected all the components to make sure I didn't miss something. i viewed several YouTube videos before and after to make sure I did everything correctly.
i'm stumped? I can't afford a new phone just yet! HELP!
ps: sorry for the LOOOONG post...
