Question Iphone 3gs will no longer charge, replaced dock connector, please help!


I have an iphone 3gs where the ringer stopped working. I researched this and it seems the speaker went bad in the dock connector. I ordered a new dock connector and installed it. The ringer now works, but the phone will no longer charge. It shows the symbol that it's plugged in, but doesn't show the lightning bolt anymore. I swapped back the OLD dock connector which never had a problem charging, and now it doesn't charge either!

I'm getting very frustrated, and I'm willing to try more troubleshooting. Please chime in if you can. I'm a girl, and yes, I do have a volt meter, but am very amateur with it.

I don't think so. Are you suggesting that both the new dock connected is faulty? I tried both.
