iphone 7 drain fast & only charges by fake cables - GSM-Forum

skoubri · 05-20-2019, 09:13

Strange thing happened without any reason. The iphone will charge and communicate with PC only by using fake or other cables than ORIGINAL Apple!.. But the problem is not only this, battery (82% health) goes down to 1% in about 3 hours..

I suspect charging IC 610...

Any opinions or experience please?

Thanks in advance

Hello all, thanks for your answers.. @.:softbank:. you mean tristar (U2?)… or U4001? which is the correct ref number? / @toni_85 swi lines check? I am not sure how to... for any shorts you mean?

Also an update, thinking that it cannot recognize genuine apple cable, I thought that normally should have problem to recognize accessories too like headphones etc.. But not.. genuine headphones AND headphone adapter to 3.5mm jack works also as expected. Also found a very old genuine cable from my iPhone 5 which worked too!!!

I am totally confused! Only problem seems to be the draining battery which goes down to 1% from 100 in a couple of hours or more (3-4 max)… I could use it for two days without recharging...

I also considered to replace the battery for starting point but as I know batteries do not die I suddenly..

The phone doesn't have a single scratch and have been never opened... this is why I am hesitating to start the procedure of replacing tristar but as it seems this is my only hope..
