<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: new battery doesn't hold the charge for very long]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I received a new iphone 4 battery and it's not holding the charge for much longer than my original battery was doing.  I cleaned the connectors, let the battery drain completely first and then recharged it before using.  A full charge usually lasts about 14-15 hours with standby and general usage time.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: How to return/recycle the battery of an iPhone 4/4s Liberation kit?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I mistakenly ordered an ifixit iPhone 4/4S battery replacement. It’s not for the right model so I have no use for the battery itself, but I kept the tools that came with it. I’m not asking for a refund, merely a way to properly return (or maybe recycle) the battery.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: Is it possible to reset phone motherboard?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, I bought an iPhone 4 (gsm) believing that it had a battery issue. Turns out it had been jb using greenpoison, I just want the original iOS back. If I put it into recovery mode or dfu mode iTunes detects it, but won't restore it. I have tried other cables, other computers but still get error 21, 1601, 1602 or 3194. Even after editing host file &amp; turning off firewall and anti virus software.</p>

<p>My question is this: Is there a reset button/switch on the motherboard itself? If so, where is it &amp; what is the best way to use it? Thanks to anyone who can help</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: iPhone in boot loop when charging]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey!</p>

<p>So my Iphone 4 fell in water and now it is in boot loop. It actually doesn’t work without charging and when plugged into charge, it starts to boot loop. I don’t need the phone, but I have a lot of old pictures of my children in it. I tried Itunes update( I can get it in itunes mode) and all the popular programs that recover files or flash the Iphone with keeping the files. I tried the home button and power button techniques but nothing seems to work.</p>

<p>Can someone tell me what actually the problem is?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: Forget lock number code]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have an old iPhone 4 and I totally forget the number code to get into it because I have not used it in many years. My spouse had suddenly died 4 years ago of  Cancer and I've been trying to get into it to get old pictures and messages etc. It was her account and I don't have an Apple ID oh, so how can I figure out the number code to unlock it? I've always used something I would remember such as my birthday or anniversary or even one of my nieces birthday, but I have no idea what code I had put in back then. Thank you so much for your help!!!</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: How to Bypass passcode screen?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I got a iPhone 4 CDMA that I purchased not powering on. I was able to repair it but it is a password locked phone..After looking online for solutions i was told to restore it..Which I did and I had multiple update error codes like 3004 and 3194</p>

<p>After solving those by deleting the host file, i finally got through then i got the following &quot;The iphone can not be restored, The device can not be found&quot; and then i get another screen telling me that itunes can connect due to the password lock.</p>

<p>Any ideas as what I should do next? would jailbreaking remove the passcode?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: Getting hot when battery is connected]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My wife dropped her phone in water, quickly retrieved it and powered it down. I took the phone apart and let it sit for 3 days to dry.</p>

<p>Now when I put it back together, it will turn on, but gets very hot in the lower right side (same side as sim card).</p>

<p>I tried 2 other batteries, but had the same issue. Phone turns on, works fine, gets really hot after 1-2 minutes and shuts down (I assume because of overheating).</p>

<p>I disconnected everything from the logic board and only plugged in the battery, and the logic board still gets hot. Seems to be starting in the covered L-shaped area next to the battery connector (area with the Texas Instruments 343S0499 Touch Screen Controller &amp; 36MY1EE NOR and mobile DDR).</p>

<p>Does this mean that she needs a new logic board, or is there anything else I should try?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: broken I phone came alive (well, partly at least)]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>two years ago somebody gave me there iPhone 4 that was dropped into a toilet and never gave any sign of live ever since. she wanted to true it away and i just said to give it to me since i just like to fool around with old or broken electronics and search for what still can be used.</p>

<p>i forget about it, but came across it two days ago, and thought &quot;maybe all the water dried out of this thing, maybe it will work&quot;,i didn't had any hopes what so ever for it, but i had a charging cable laying around and plugged it in &quot;nothing to loose&quot;.</p>

<p>after a few minutes i heard and felt it vibrate. i unplugged it, plugged it back in and again, after a few minutes it vibrated. i left it charging for a few hours when i came back i unplugged it ,tried to turn it on, but no reaction. when i plugged it in again i made this &quot;ploing&quot; sound. i decided to let it charge a while longer.</p>

<p>now it vibrates when i turn off the silent mode, it makes the sound when i plug the charger in, but the screen doesn't do anything really. unless i try to force restart the phone then i see, very weak the apple logo.</p>

<p>what does this mean? is only the screen dead? would the phone be &quot;normal&quot; again when it is replaced? or is it something else?</p>

<p>can somebody please help to diagnose this iphone further?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4: iPhone 4 in bootloop and won't charge after screen replacement]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I recently replaced screen to my old iPhone 4. After reassembling I tried to boot it, but it just tries to boot all over again. Disassembled the device and checked all the connections, still not working. I replaced battery, home button and power button flex cable also, so they should work properly.</p>

<p>I tried with the old battery too, (I removed it as a working part) but it's not charging it. (the old battery was empty and it worked before I started the screen replacement procedure.)</p>

<p>Looks like the charging connector is broken(?) Also, my computer(PC) don't recognize the phone and neither the iTunes.</p>

<p>A little black component just below the righthand screw(which holds the protective shield for charging dock flex cable) have been cracked, can that cause this kind of problem?</p>

<p>Thanks for help!</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_01_03_Num_2018" class="header">Update (01/03/2018)</h3></div>

<p>Thanks for help Minho, I uploaded a picture about the component.</p>

<p>I don't really understand the picture of the logic board's components, so I'm not sure which one of these it is.</p>
