Phone was not recognized on mac nor was it recharging off the wall using multiple apple cords so I replaced the battery. It was able to recognize on mac noticed it had shown the little lighting bolt next to bat. % in top right corner but it was not recharging. I did not thing to do a “hard” reset but the phone is now dead. I did a little research and found that a pin in the dock connector could be bad but I have not yet dismantled my phone dock connectors look to be fairly inexpensive any other suggestions?
Kyle, you are going the right way. Absolutely correct way of doing it. First the battery, then the dock connector, then it gets complicated; logic board issues. Here is the guide for the job. Not very complicated nor expensive. Let us know how it worked out. Of course, make sure that you check your battery connections thoroughly as well. Hope this helps, good luck.
