Guest N95 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 I ordered my SF over the phone and it has been running perfectly fine for over a week now. When i got it i unlocked it and installed clockwork recovery and r3 rom. Yesterday the phone was working fine all day then in the evening when i went to use it i noticed that it was turned off. When i tried turning it on nothing would happen. I've stuck it on charge and nothing happens, the red light on the back key doesnt even come on, however the phone gets warm while its on charge. I've tried taking off the back cover and pushing down the small button but that still doesnt work. Has anyone else had the same problem or have ideas of what could be wrong? I can send it back to Orange but i would need to get rid of r3 and load up the original rom first. How can i do that if it wont turn on? Cheers
Guest thomas01155 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 See if taking out the battery for a min and put it back in works.
Guest N95 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) See if taking out the battery for a min and put it back in works. I took out the battery, sim card, and the memory card and left it overnight but that didnt help. I connected the phone to my laptop and it doesnt seem to charge or do anything while plugged in except there is a high pitched noise and it gets quite hot around the area next to the charger port on the back of the phone.

Guest N95 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 Tried charging via mains? Yep, and its the same thing. Red light doesnt come on and the phone gets hot.
Guest DominicA Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 Sounds like the charging cicuit or battery has fried. Take it to the store and see if they can try another battery and try yours in another phone etc
Guest rjm2k Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 does it work if the battery is out? ie connected to usb
Guest N95 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 I tried another battery in my phone and that didnt work. My battery didnt work in the other phone either. I think that something has definitely fried on the phone. I ordered a car charger from amazon that was on hukd and had it on charge for a bit in the car as the battery was low. It could have been that perhaps.
Guest dadashi Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) sounds like that was your problem, is it a normal usb charger? I use a psp usb charger in the car without problems.. I've noticed mobiles, psps and laptops charge faster in the car than from the mains, for what ever reason... Edited October 25, 2010 by dadashi
Guest N95 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 This is the charger that i bought here.
