iPhone won't charge but iTunes recognizes it.
Hey guys, I am having trouble charging my iphone 5. I've tried multiple cables (Originals and 3rd party), cleaned the charging port, replaced the charging port, replaced the battery, and swapped mother boards with a working iphone 5. It seems to me there is something wrong with the motherboard but I have no idea if there is a broken capacitor or any damaged tiny parts. I have no idea what to look for anyway and would appreciate some help. Like in the question title, itunes does recognize the phone but it simply will not charge.
This was also the only other similar question I have found on this site and the web but sadly it doesn't seem they were able to figure it out either. iTunes recognizes it while connected, but cannot charge.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Did swapping the motherboard change the issue? What do you mean it won't charge, is it turning on?

The phone will not charge, when I plug in my cable the battery symbol lights up but it stays the same percentage and instead of going up it goes down as I wait. Yes the screen and all other functions work perfect.
And to clarify about swapping the motherboards, I took the motherboard from the iPhone with the no charge problem and placed it into a working iPhone 5. The working iPhone 5 now has the same no charge problem while the motherboard from the good one disappeared from the iPhone that the problem started in. So I concluded the problem lies somewhere on the motherboard.

The percentage only goes down? I would suspect a defective U2 chip then.

I have never heard or seen this toic of a U2 Chip problem, I believe this is the culprit because I have searched every corner of the internet for a solution. And when I said the percentage only goes down I meant that it's just not charging like it's supposed to. I've plugged the battery in a working iPhone 5 and placed it back in the problematic one and the percentage is higher as it should be (battery was charged). I was also messing around and I actually got it to charge 5% higher! I'm not sure what I did.
I will probably order a U2 Chip soon to see if this resolves my problem and post what happens here. I have the right equipment and knowledge now.

If you're able to replace a U2 chip successfully on an iPhone 5, you should be able first to pull the schematics and review the battery and charging circuits. You should also be able to examine around the battery connector for damaged/corroded/missing components. iPhone 5 U2 replacement is risky and in my humble opinion should be done as a last result after ruling out simpler defects.
