Iphone only charges when dead...

Hi, so this morning I plugged my iphone into its wall socket, and it wont charge. However it does charge when the battery is dead, but as soon as it comes back on it stops? I tried connecting it to the computer via USB but it the computer says it dosnt recognize it. I've tried holding the home and power button down till it shuts off but that hasnt worked. Please HELP!!!

iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1.6

I understand that you are not able to charge your iPhone past the point of turning on either through wall outlet or computer. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the steps in the attached article.


If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Have a great day,

Joe
