The 30-pin USB connector I got with my iPhone 11 months ago is faulty. It appears there is a connection problem. Will Apple replace these as the device is still under warranty or will I have to fix it myself/buy a new one? |

It's probably not faulty if you've been using the device for 11 months. I hate to say it but it is more likely your fault. You probably can't fix it unless you want to open it up and do some soldering. A new one is what? $20? $20 is a lot for a wire. You should just buy some cheap generic brand one from eBay because they're just wires, they'll break. Opening it up and doing some soldering was the plan.. They're £20 here. Which is a LOT for just a wire. It's not just for the wire though, is it? It's for the ability to charge, sync, and use your iPhone. Physically it is just a wire.. I'd rather get the least expensive option. You'd have to find a diagram as well or remember which wires go where on the 30 pin side. It's probably not even the wire but either the 30-pin or the USB connection itself. No it's definitely the wire. it seems there's a faulty connection where the wire goes into the 30-pin end and it only works at a certain angle. they're $25 here in Australia

Just e-mail/call Apple and ask them. I think you can get the cheap ones from China for a few cents, or a new one for a few dollars. If it is broken, attempting to solder it wouldn't be a bad idea either. |
