My wife has an iPhone 4 in an otterbox. Since the case won't allow it to sit in the docking station we bought a dock extender like this one:
We noticed that even though the data (music) traveled through the extender fine, it often would not charge the phone. The other morning, when my wife woke up her phone was completely dead and wouldn't turn on.
We've tried different chargers, plugging it into the computer, hard resets, DFU mode, and anything else under the sun and the phone simply doesn't respond whatsoever. I'm beginning to think the dock extender screwed up the dock connector in the phone.
I'm about to buy a replacement dock connector on Amazon so I can replace the old one, but before I do is there a way to be certain that's the problem? Are there any other possibilities?
TIA!
