Hi,
I have a 3g iphone jailbroken with 2.0 firmware.A couple of days ago my daughter was playing some games on it.Later I decided to put it on charge.The next day I say the battery was still low and slowly it lost all its charge.Now when I power it on It shows low power and plugin.But after plugging it in nothing happens no charging screen.Cannot go into Dfu mode also.Itunes does not recognise the iphone.Have tried alternate USB cable on wall on PC and in the car.
Still under warrany but cannot take it into Apple as jailbroken. Any help will be appreciated.Thanks all.

I had the same problem with a non-jailbroken 3.0. It was a hardware problem and Apple exchanged the phone with no hassle.

What I would do is let the phone power down completely, then drop by the Apple store and describe the problem. They will try and power it up and when that doesn't work will, if my experience is anything to go by, just replace the phone.

I had the same problem with my unlocked iphone. I took my wife's hair dryer and blew hot air into the earphones and charger socket for a few mins and then left it under ceiling fan for a few hours. Believe me, it worked.
