iPhone 5c resurrection [View all]

This old phone died on me Oct 14, wouldn’t charge, turn on etc ... was having an issues where the battery would not refresh, so showed low power most times even after charge ... took it into local shop to fix, no luck, wasn’t battery they said and couldn’t figure out what was wrong ..
I knew what it was, I had too much saved to it in pics (grandkids mostly) and there wasnt any room left to boot up I guess .. so got a new SE and moved on ...
only problem was all those pics lost 😕
So I let it sit til now ... still showed a sliver of red of battery as it has for months, but I plugged it in and voila, it charged up 100% 😀
Immediately deleted some apps I had loaded to free up space, and as soon as I can get a lightning/USB flash drive can save all those pics 😀

man I love it when I’m right 👍
