After shutting down my iPhone 5 I realized it’s battery went to 0 and stayed there. I’ve been charging it for 1-3 months but no success has occurred. Can you find an answer to this problem? It won’t matter by Christmas cos’ I’m getting a £49 phone which actually looks nice.
The 5 series has an issue with the U2 IC (charge control microchip). They can often be damaged with aftermarket charge cables. If you have a ammeter, such as the portapow, you can see if the phone is actually pulling a charge or not. The issue could also be the battery itself. If it is worn out too much, it won’t hold a charge and could be causing the issue as well
