Most likely you need to replace the dock connector daughterboard - I've seen reports that there is an ESD device on this daughterboard that can be triggered and produce these kind of symptoms.

fix it by cleanning connecter 4 and cleaning the pins on the dock one by one with cleaning fulid a cotton bud, and a needle works a treat, take a little while but saves £6 keep this in mind next time someone asks,
