Iphone Not Charging - What Do I Do?

Posted by Guest - Iphone Not Charging - What Do I Do? :
My iphone was on 5% and I was using a 3rd party charger which I didn't think a 3rd party charger would matter but it wouldn't charge. First it indicated that it needed a charge but now the screen is completely dark. I did the home and power button thing but its not doing anything

How old is the iphone? It probably has nothing to do with the charger.

It sounds like your battery may have gone out. You could take it to an apple store, and have them put a new battery in. It doesn't cost much to do that and it would be like a brand new phone again. Otherwise what I would do, if my contract is up and its an older iphone model, then I would trade it in and upgrade on new contract (you would get some credit back for the phone even if its not working).
I think its better just to do that rather then put money into an older iphone, especially because the upgrade wouldnt cost much with a new contract.

I have used a 3rd party charger for years without ever having an issue, but when you disconnect dont just yank the chord. People abuse it then wonder why the chord no longer works.
