My iPhone 4 charger was working fine just a few days ago, and as of yesterday, I'll plug it into a working outlet (my t.v.'s plugged into the same outlet) and attach it to my phone, and it doesn't charge. I even tried it on my iPod, and that still doesn't work. I've also tried switching outlets, still, my phone is receiving no juice. I don't really want to go out and by a new charger/adapter cube thingy, if I don't have to. Any help/suggestions? All help is greatly appreciated

I don't see that you have any other choice. You can buy a third party charger for your iPhone most anywhere and not have to pay a fortune for it. I've seen them at Target, Best Buy, Staples, etc. Belkin has a nice one for around $29.95 or so.

Most of the time the problem is the cable - not the charger.
I buy those cables 4 at a time now - I have charging cables set up in 6 locations between home, the car and the office.
Would recommend you stay away from the $2-3 ones at Amazon. Those really don't last long.
Have had better luck with the ones that come in packaging than the ones without packaging.

Alright. I went out and just bought a new one. Not really what I wanted to do, but whatever. Thanks for the help anyway dude.

If the device the cord and charger came with is still in warranty go to an apple store or call apple and they will send you a new cord or charging block. Stay away from the ones on amazon they dont last more then a month.
