Hi, I just had the same problem with mine. It would only turn on when plugged into wall charger but would not stay on for long when plugged in. It also said I needed to restore and I had no wifi or cell service. I took to Verizon and they said I needed to restore but i would loose all saved data. I did not want to loose all pics and contacts so I took to a place that repairs Iphones in my city. They took one look and said had a bad charging port. They said they could replace it so that I could then back up all data on my computer before I had to restore. Suprisingly to them, once they replaced the port and put a new battery in, it all worked fine again; even wifi and cell service. The fix cost about $60.00 and I did not loose any data! I have ever posted to any online forums before but had to on this because I want people to know that they don't always have to loose all data!!!
