iPhone 5 not charging

    Hi, I recently purchased a cheap 3 meter charging cable off eBay, and as result of using this using this cable my phone charging port is now ruined. :( my phone will not charge just by sticking the genuine charger in you kind of have to force the cable to connect with phone if that makes sense.

    Anyway I bought the phone on Vodafone pay as you go, a few months ago. In carphonewarehouse and still have the receipt.

    If I bring the phone back to them will they repair or replace my phone for free?, as they come with a years warranty if I'm not mistaken.


    Maybe I could get an iPhone 5s out of this yet. :rolleyes:

    Not a chance of getting a 5S, but yeah I would assume the year warranty would cover a "faulty" ( ;) ) lightning port.

    have you checked there's no lint the slot? had a simliar problem the other day, wouldn't connect unless forced in. Using a toothpick i was able to remove a small accumulation of lint which was stopping the charger snapping into the slot.
