I have always had issues charging battery. someomes the unit will not respond when the battery runs super low. I bought extra batteries and an ext charger thinking it'll fix my problem. unfortunately it wasn't any good. plugging in a fresh battery would leave the unit unresponsive to poweron. I figure i'd do the fuse shorting. I got it opened but also broke one of the clip in the process. lowsy motorola clip design and use of brittle plastic, boo.

I found out that the fuse was perfectly fine so i was at a loss to the issue. i did however notice a battery on the other end of the PCB. removed it and placed it back in, reassembled the unit and bingo! it powered up and charges.

My thoughts are when the battery runs low and subsequently powers off, the unit is left at an unstable state, whatever the battery is keeping alive onboard (time and ???) it has caused the unit to not properly boot up and charge for me. This would explain why, in the past, my phone would randomly charge after leaving the unit alone for a long period of time without use.

I'm getting the same problem. I called fido support and they advised me to manually set the phone to a particular network. it would appear that setting the phone to manual network selection, it does not actually prompt what network you would like to connect to. On my nokia 5190 it does actively seek out for networks and provide a list

"fido" "CAN 72" was what I saw on my Nokia. I haven't tried my phone often enough to verify the stability of my network connection. Hope this helps

Hi all,

just came back from a 5 day vacation and found out my phone i left behind can't start up.

pushing power gives no response. removed battery,sim,memory card and placing back just battery did not fix it.

charging the battery is odd behaviour. my lcd screen on lights up but does not show battery charging progress bar. the screen just remains lit up. normally the screen will light up and then turn off after a while, while the progress bar shows that it is charging.

removing the battery and plugging in the charger shows the same behaviour.

I'm wondering if it's just a simple matter of battery being dead but since the unit's lcd screen stays perminantly on i'm concerned it's the phone that's messed up and not the battery.

hard or soft reset doesn't show up.

any suggestions?

regards,
Rob
