Or is it a connector problem?

Um.. even if it is, it's not something you can fix yourself...

The phone is not user serviceable unless you went through Apple's official self service repair program.


If you replaced the screen yourself or had work done on it by an unauthorized service provider, your phone is no longer supportable. Apple won't touch it and we can't help you with it.
