    Can someone please advise if they have had this problem.

    I have my Note 3 for about 2 yrs, working perfectly, no issues till about 2 hrs ago. I plugged in to charge and it just isn't charging. USB slot is tight, tried a couple of different cables and not a sign of it charging.

    Have switched off and rebooted - still nothing - I now have about 20% battery

    Any ideas

    Also where is the quickest on delivery for a new phone. Would buy Xiaomi again no problems so suggestions please if this looks like the phone is not going to be recoverable

    Thanks

    Reports of charging Diode getting fried by using incorrect chargers!


    [XDA] RN3 Pro not charging, charging board replaced-Motherboard issue?

    ^^^ Does not require a motherboard replacement but just removing the diode.

    [Reddit] [Problem] RN3P doesn't charge


    Don't know if your having the same problem?

    Redmi Note 5 [WHYRED][Global] is worth looking at for an upgrade?

    ^^^ Honorbuy have quick turn around see linked thread.

    Also had a Kenzo and now using WHYRED as my daily driver.

    Possibly is something like that - I have been using a variety of chargers / leads etc

    I'm going to have to order something so might go with honorbuy and get the Redmi Note 5

    Would it be worth my while going into a phone shop to see if the N3 can be fixed - all photos etc backed up to Mi Cloud so I should be able to get them back

    Maybe worth your while getting a quote, If you only get them to remove the diode (if you can not do it yourself) should not cost much.

    If it is a faulty charging port, look in to getting a replacement battery as well (they are cheap). After 2 Years, I say your battery is probably degraded at this stage. I replaced the one on my Kenzo back in February.
