Hi!
Replaced my Iphone back housing and now my Iphone dont charge.
After assembling i noticed that my Iphone Ohly charged when the inserting one side of the lightning cable. If I turned the lightning head it wouldn't charge. My iPad charges just fine with both ends and so did my Iphone before housing replacement. I opened the phone again and checked the lightning thing and now it won't charge or be recognized my my computer but I can start the phone.

My question is that there is four rings under the lightning contact and I lost one of them are they important for the port to work?

Did I damage anything or get a new port to replace?

Please help feeling like a failure, I was extra careful when replacing the housing and everything went great please help.
 
I forgot to say that when the phone is off and I plug in the USB the iPhone boots up but don't charge

Please hekp
 
Try rechecking all the ribbons and logic board inputs for apparent damage, take both a soft bristled toothbrush and compressed air to all the logic board inputs and ribbon inputs, and take both brush/air to both the Lightning Wire input and the Lightning Wire cable input and metal encasing. As an added measure, you can deinstall the battery, then attempt a boot using the external power source via your Lightning Wire.

----------

Doing the latter could eliminate logic board/ribbon connectors problems or prove a faulty and/or dead battery.
 
Hi!
I changed the whole charging assembley and it is now fully working.

Thank you very much for replying
