Guest angryfoot Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi, I'm new to Modaco and can't find anything on this problem.... Using a fully charged battery,my C600 thinks the battery is dead and switches off. The battery is definitely full (charged with my old C550). It works fine when connected to a pc or charger (although the battery has an 'X' on it). I have tried three other batteries and a different charger. It has ceased to be a 'mobile' phone! Does anyone think this is fixable? Cheers (sorry if you've seen this on Hurricane post - I put it in the wrong place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest angryfoot Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Just to update, I have reset it but no change. I've just bought a T5 screw driver and opened it up. Can't see anything wrong with the battery connection bit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest angryfoot Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Damn and blast, looks like it's bug gered then. what a waste of £40 I'll give £30 to The Red Cross if anyone comes up with a remedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that didn't work, I would then attach fly leads to the charge terminals ( IIRC the outer pins of the 4), carefully re-assemble and measure the voltage ( if any) whilst trying to charge the battery. It could be a fusable resistor has blown. Can you borrow a charged battery anywhere? It could be the supply pins *from* the battery that are fubar'd.

Thanks M.S Yep, all the pins are straight. I will try to resolder, just need to get a solder gun. I'v tried 3 batteries, all of which are fully charged and work on my C550. The C600 reads the batteries as dead. Thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your time OK, if it reads the charged batteries as dead check continuity of the pins to the board, and look for white residue from corrosion around the major componants. An old toothbush and som iso-propyl alcohol are useful here. Most corrosion issues can be reversed :-) M.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
