6085 won't switch on or charge

I just bought a 6085 today, got it home and put the sim card and battery in properly, plugged in the charger, and nothing happened. I have unplugged the charger and plugged it back in again, I have tried different power points around the house, I have waited to see if it needs a few minutes to warm up first. Nothing.
Do I need to leave it on the charger for a certain amount of time before it actually starts charging?
The jack for the charger doesn't appear to be pushed all the way completely in - I can't push it any further in. It's almost all the way in, there is just a tiny bit of silver still showing. Is this normal?
This phone was bought from a dealer, everything was packaged correctly, all legit and above board - could the battery be broken or something?
TIA

That is not normal, you should be seeing some sign of charging almost straight away on that model.
Was it sealed when you bought it? If not it could be an ex demonstration model or have been returned by someone else. It could even be a faulty charger.
The charger will only go as far as it needs to and does stick out on some models.
If you are certain that the battery is inserted correctly and it still doesn't work you should return it.

  • My mini ipod won't switch on or charge

    My mini ipod won't switch on or charge. I have tried charging it several ways - via the pc, plug and incar charger but no luck. The pc does not recognise the ipod. I have tried toggling the hold switch. The usb ports on the pc are ok.
    The last thing that I did with the ipod was detached from the pc when it had the message to do not disconnect.
    Can anyone help
    thanks

  • TS3183 ipad won't switch on or charge

    Help, my Ipad 1 won't come to life, have plugged it in to charge and there is no sign of life, have checked the charger on my ipod and it works fine so I know it isn't the charger. it was working a couple of days ago and just seems to of died.  HELP!!

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Iphone 5 won't switch on or charge up

    My Iphone 5 was working perfectly, then ran out of battery. So I came home and put it on charge, however, it wasn't charging and after leaving it on charge for 5 hours still won't turn out. Tried my charger in my computer too and it wouldn't charge up that way or even recognise there was a phone plugged in. PLEASE HELP!?!

    Thanks, made an appointment for Wednesday

  • IPhone 5 won't switch on or charge

    I have tried with 2 different cables to charge my iPhone, neither would work. I tried these same cables in another iPhone 5 and both worked. I have phoned Apple techincal support but they said to let it run out of battery and then charge it. My iPhone has now been on charge for four hours with only the charging icon on the screen. When I remove the cable the icon saying it needs charged appears. I have tried restarting it, in my laptop etc. but none have been successful. If anyone knows how to fix this I would be more than grateful, it would save me a big trip to my nearest Apple Store which is 60 miles from where I live. Thank you!

    There's no magic fix for a hardware problem.  Sounds like your battery or the docking port is defective.  You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.  If 60 miles is too far, call Apple Care and arrange to have your phone mailed in.

  • My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

    i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and  this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

    I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
    My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
    After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

  • Playbook won't switch on, charge or reboot!

    Hi All
    Can anybody help with my playbook. It won't switch on via the power button, just the initial red light then nothing.
    It doesn't respond to either it's own charger or my curves charger.
    I have tried to reboot by holding the power and + and - buttons down simultaneously but I get the red light then a few flashing yellow lights then nothing, back to dead.
    Please help.

  • My iphone4 seems to have switched off even tho there was 30% battery charge left.  It won't switch back on.  I've only had it on charge for about 10mins so far.  Any ideas?

    My iphone4 suddenly went blank even tho it had showed about 30% battery left.  I won't switch back on.  I've only had it on charge for about 15 mins so far.  Any ideas?

  • HT5538 Hubby's phone has switched itself off and won't switch back on. It has been charged but nothing works.

    Hubby's phone has switched itself off and won't switch back on. As far as we know it's fully charged, can't check as got a blank screen but does buzz when charger is plugged in. Has been left on charge for quite some time. As you will gather, I am sending this on his behalf.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • I put my phone on charge now it won't switch on

    I have put my phone on charge now it won't switch back on.     

    Leave it in plugged in for at least 15 minutes.
    If it doesn't automatically come on, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • My iphone 4 won't switch on but when i plug in my charger it does?

    My IPhone 4 won't switch on but when i put it on the charger it does work i've tried everything but it won't work. Is something wrong with my charger or is it my Phone

    An obvious possibilty is a dead battery. They don't last forever. Take it along to an Apple store and get it checked out.
