    Hi problem just started today when I tried to charge my 3GS - tried both via computer and wall charger. Icon will come up indicating its charging but doesnt actually charge. have tried different chargers and same thing happens. battery was replaced bout month ago; latest IOS installed (5.1); have tried rebooting it a few times (home & power buttons until apple logo); tried a restore still not charging... any ideas/solutions?

    Faulty battery would be my first guess. Was it replaced by Apple or some sidestreet shop?

    sidestreet as it was out of warranty and apple didnt want to know and vodafone were lukewarm about helping too; it went through a full charge last night and through alot of usage this morning dropped to 32% so decided to give it some extra battery because I was going to be out; have tried cleaning out charge port with a toothpick and blowing in it as well.. no difference

    Try hoovering it, if that doesn't work take it back to the sidestreet shop.
