If you are using a Windows based computer, follow the instructions for resetting the AMDS > How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows


Reset the AMDS then see if the battery will charge while the iPhone is on.


If not, try a reset.


Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

No data is lost due to a reset.
