So here's my sitch. My wife's phone went from fully charged to almost dead with minimal use yesterday. She plugged it in to recharge. Although the charging icon appeared, the phone didn't charge and continued to lose battery power. She shut it down and restarted the phone, a very common fix. Didn't work. She started a factory reset, and half way through got an error message. Now the phone will not turn on, will not charge. The only screen we get is a battery with a sliver of red battery life remaining. If unplugged, the phone shuts off. When plugged in, it doesn't charge, and doesn't respond to a manual reset. Any ideas? Thanks

My iPhone 4s turned itself off after battery drainage. I charged it until it started and again when i tried to use it while charging it started heating. left it on charge for a while when it overheated and itself switched off. I have cleaned the charging port, tried to charge it from my laptop and adapter too but it wont restart. Is there anything wrong with my battery. Could use some help on this.
