Guest PsychoDave Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Kinda says it all really but every time i plug my charger into the phone it switches off :x When I try to turn it back on again it flashes up the orange screen and then powers down again. Any ideas cos (surprise, surprise) 15x didn't recognise it as a known fault and will get someone to call me back sometime before the next iceage. Oh well :) Cheers all
Guest PsychoDave Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Nobody got any clues? It still happens when I take the battery off, its a right pain, slept in this morning cos the alarm didn't go off :) Lucky I work nights I suppose :?
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Can you check the voltage of the charger with a voltmeter?
Guest PsychoDave Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Not at the mo. I'm at work :) The phone still charges ok just turns off while doing it.
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Does it do a normal power-down cycle? Or does it die in a heartbeat?
Guest PsychoDave Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 It dies in a heartbeat or maybe one and a half :? When you try to turn it back on it flashes up the orange sunset and then dies again.
Guest martin Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 I would 'plug the phone in another charger' and 'plug the charger in another phone' and see what happens. It sound like one or the other may be faulty ? To be honest, the more information you can give Orange support the quicker the issue can be resolved. If you can identify which piece of equipment is causing the problem, the better positioned you are to request a replacement, if required. Bit of a strange fault though...
Guest Richie M Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Have you tried a different charger Dave? Or a Sync & Charge cable? (if i remember correctly ages ago someone said a Nokia charger was the same voltage (obivously with that adapter plug thingy) please check tho before trying :))
Guest PsychoDave Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 I'll give it a go tomorrow. Might be worth a trip down to the local orange shop to see if they can try another SPV and charger. Don't know anyone else with one (aww). Unless I can get all the way down to the meet :)
Guest PsychoDave Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 Well off to bed, if any1 comes up with any ideas they would be much appreciated (as always :) ) If not its down to the O shop to moan at them for a while. Might be fun eh? ;)
Guest Richie M Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 Dave, you didn't say if this happens when you charge with or without the cradle?
Guest PsychoDave Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 Sorry, It does it whether its in the cradle or just using the adapter jobbie, damn strange. :? Haven't had the chance to go to the O shop yet and surprise 15x have yet to call me back. D'ya think its cos I mentioned being a member here?
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 You don't have access to a charge&sync cable, other charger? Then you need to go down to that shop and get them to break out a charger to see if that changes anything... Or, you could tell us what the voltage is on that charger you already have? :)
