SOURCE: Iphone 3gs screen problem

If the problem is consistent in other windows besides strictly the keyboard it is possible that the capacitive touch panel is defective or has been damaged.

Testimonial: "That was my suspicion but was hoping for something simple . The is a store in Toronto that can repair it quite reasonably, considering. Thanks"

SOURCE: Shows fully charged (plug icon), but isn't taking a charge. A;ready tried reboot/restore.

Get a can of air and blow it into the 30-pin connector and headphone jack to clear the phone of dust and build-up. This should clear up the problem. I learned this from an Apple Store Genius Bar associate.

My phone wont turn on or charge

If it's not charging to the point where it drain the battery, then you could have a damage port in the iPhone. With that said, your device needs to be taken apart to replace the charge port. The part looks something like this image. 94f565a2-1793-4597-9cb5-3ef99270148b.jpg
This one is for an iPhone 3gs, but you get the idea. Best of luck.

The phone doesn't charge

Check your cable and connections. If you can, replace the cable with a new one, it should be working.

If it's not working, the port on the iPhone is damaged and should be changed.

I have had my iphone less than a week- i did not expect it to have problems so soon. .... i have iphone 2g my battery ran out now it wont recharge or turn back on? .... but it doesn't turn on, it...

If your iPhone's battery runs very far down, the iPhone won't turn on. That's because it's using its remaining battery life to preserve your data and settings.So, your iPhone could be refusing to turn on because its battery doesn't have enough juice. In that case, plug your iPhone into a wall charger or into your computer (plug it directly into the computer; some USB ports on keyboards don't have enough power to charge iPhones). Let it sit for 10-20 minutes. If it was low on battery and needed a charge, when it's got enough juice to power the screen, it will turn on and show you its charging status, starting with the red battery icon.During this process, you may also want to make sure there's no lint packed into your cable or the iPhone's dock connector. This isn't a hugely common problem, but a lot of pocket lint could interfere with the iPhone getting a charge.
