2 Probably charging port/chip, Multiple issues
Quick description of problem and then problem trail after.
The device works plugged in and on battery alone but does not show any battery percentage and permanently show an empty battery icon. When turned on it periodically resets every 3 mins 30 s and just keeps looping like this. Tried resetting the phone, setting to factory defaults and it doesn’t do anything to alleviate this. Brief search shows that its most likely the controller for charging associated with the charging port.
I’d appreciate any suggestions before i venture into a home repair.
Longer story:
My mother bought an iphone 8 from an ebay seller with a 1 year warranty. phone arrive is in good condition and works fine until she drops it and cracks the screen. she takes it to an apple certified business for a screen repair and then when she gets it back the screen is fixed but the battery and reset problem starts. She tries to sort this out with the company and they basically say its not their fault, she then takes it to the apple store near by and they tell her that there are “problems” with it and they wont even look at it now I’m getting this second hand but things like “the glass sticks out to far” the “charging port isn’t right” and “it must be from china” are thrown around. She contacts the seller who had in the ebay listing offered a 1 year warranty but they wont reply to her. Ebay wont do anything because shes had it for a tiny bit over 6 months and paypal wont do anything either they both say she has to contact the seller. So she gave me the phone to see if i can do anything and is using her old Samsung in the mean time.
