Is the iphone dead?
Hi, I have an old iphone given to me when my son upgraded. He removed all data so there is nothing on there except the OS. I think it's a v5, not sure.
It kept needing to be charged, and we thought the cable might be a loose fit, and got it up to 100% by putting something under the cable to angle it. One day later, the screen is black, and I have tried the reboot 2 button hold down, tried another cable, cleaned the connection and all I get now is an occasional battery outline with a red bar on the far left.
It's been plugged into my iMac for over an hour now and the battery icon seems to not come up anymore.
Is this now dead?
Will getting a new battery put in by Apple fix it or is it a toss in the bin situation.
I need to have a phone working as NBN drops out in my area and then I have no phone for emergencies.
Any ideas welcome.
cheers Shaz
