broken dock connector

Hi again!


Has anyone had any experience in replacing the dock connector for a iphone 5? Is it fairly simple? I cannot charge my phone or plug it into the pc either or any idea how much this would cost if I went to the apple shop.

The dock connector seems broken and I have only 40% battery left and running outta time 😝

iPhone 5, iOS 8.3

Greetings Mark3081,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


I understand that you are having an issue charging your iPhone and think the dock connector on the iPhone may be the issue. Before you attempt to repair the hardware on the iPhone yourself, I would suggest the troubleshooting steps located in the following article.


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


If you are still having difficulty charging your iPhone, I would suggest having your iPhone evaluated for service by an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider and to not attempt a hardware repair yourself.

Have a great day!
