Motorola - unable to charge?

eclectichoney

I have had my phone about 6 months - a motorola L6, when I plug in teh charger its ok for a second or two and then it turns itself off and reads "unable to charge". does anyone know if is this a problem with the battery, charger or phone? hopefully it's just the charger or something easily fixable!

thanks

I had that problem with my V500 - it sometimes would give that message. It could be down to dirty contacts, as when I tried re-connecting, it usually worked the second time.

Yep it sounds like the contact part between the phone and the charger - I am not sure how Motorolas are made these days, but on the older Nokias the charging pin can come loose or need replacing - it may be a similar issue with your Motorola.

Have a v535 myself. I feel you just gotta wriggle it to make it charge. So far, to get it charging, if I hold the bit you plug into the phone to the side, it starts charging.

I had the same problem with my old V980 and it had to go back to the shop for replacement!!!!
