Hi 2020Softtail,


We appreciate you reaching out for help with your iPhone! Let's go over all options together to get it back up and running.


Have you had an opportunity to connect your device to a different power adapter, and while using a different Lightning to USB Cable? This can help to isolate the root cause of the issue to your iPhone itself, or one of the charging components.

Have a great day!
