HELP NOKIA N8 WILL/WONT CHARGE....

Hi There,
Not sure if im "in" the right Forum?, i just had to message some how ....
Anyways my problem is with my brand new NOKIA N8, after charging successfully for a few days i went back to charge at the same electrical point and nothing happened???, odd i thought must be a loose connection. After playing around with it i realised that it wasn't charging at all.
So i decided to try another electrical point and Voila! it worked....????,this is were it gets strange ...
I then go back to the last point and then nothing happens AGAIN??, so now my NOKIA N8 has got me going around the house swapping it from point to point just to charge it.
Please Help Somebody?

@Rare_Breed
From a UK perspective mains sockets could be on ring main or spur which could produce voltage drop if extended too far against regulations, but don't know how it applies to Continental or US two pin plugs. From a safety point of view if just one socket elicits this behaviour, then perhaps it should be checked out by suitably qualified person.

  • Please Help! my ipod wont charge

    Hey, my ipod wont charge, yesterday i was out and it rained and my ipod got wet and im wondering if this could affect it? I have tried alot of leads and none of them work, ive only had the ipod for 5 months but it was second hand, is it fixable, can anyone help?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HELP! My 3GS wont charge from the mains or be recognised by my computer?!

    Hi,
    So Im having some similar problems with my Iphone 3GS (16g, white) Literally this afternoon, I noticed it needed a charge, so I tried plugging it into the usual wall socket in which I use, I then noticed it hadnt started its charge. So I moved it to another power point in my house and luckily it charged, so I left it for an hour to charge up and then took it off charge and continued to use it as normal. A few hours later, just before I head out to work I go to top up the charge as I am going to be out for a while. I plug it into numerous sockets in the house and absolutely nothing happens, it dosent recognise the charger. So I decide to try hooking it up to my laptop, I plug it into the usb and instead of the usual itunes startup and sync it does windows displays a bubble saying 'unknown device' and then another one afterwards saying something along the lines of 'the device has malfunctioned'. I try turning it off and on again, I have even tried the reboot/reset thing holding sleep and the home button but again it will not charge or be recognised by my laptop.
    I know its not a problem with the power lead as I have turned the phone off and inserted the lead and the phone recognises it by bringing up the apple logo from the black off screen and turning the device on but it will not charge from there at all.
    Any help at all??? Ive literally only had it 5 months, I very rarely plug it into my computer probably once a monthish...I dont know what to do?
    Help?!

    Im having the same problem as well... Mine is doing it shortly after updating it to 4.0 software... mine charges fine but no connection to the comp is being picked up... I posted a thread last nyt... iphone not being recognized by computer if u wanna have a read but we are having similar probs... Im sooo p.o!!!

  • Help mee, computer will not charge..

    hello..
    i just got a new power cord for my Mac. I live in the USA, but i am in Hong kong for about a month..
    When i first got here, my Mac charged perfectly, and now it will not charge at all.. Why is this happening???

    "There have been reports here of the new L-style adaptors not working with older MacBooks. Where did you buy this from? Can you take it back and ask for a T-style adaptor? Many Apple Stores and probably Apple phone sales can still get you one. "

  • Help my Ipod will not charge or turn on.

    My Ipod touch will not charge, or turn on.  First it was just giving me the apple logo, then I attempted to restore, but a message appeared an error occurred(9).  I went to error code 9 and did what was suggested and it still does not work.

    Did you try restoring on another computer as recommended by:
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    Try after being connected to a charging source overnight:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPad first generation wont charge. Any idea's

    Please help my Ipad g1 wont charge anymore!! Is this a common fault ?

    It could be a charger issue or could be an issue with the iPad itself.  I would try another charger if you have one available.  If that doesn't fix the issue I would take the iPad into an Apple Store and see what they can tell you.

  • My ipod touch 5G wont charge OR SYNC!! what do i do???

    hello, I am in desperate need of help. My ipod wont charge or hook up to my computer.
    My old ipod charger broke so i got a new cheaper off-brand one, and shortly after i plugged it in it told me that this cable was not registered and it may not work with the ipod. Well, it didnt. it would not charge nor sync with my computer. but anyway, my dad took it back and whilst i was using his, the same message appeared on my screen. Now it wont sync or charge with the apple charger. WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?

    I think this is no longer an iOS issue; it's more of a hardware problem now.
    The problem was probably caused by using a non-original charger. These aren't genuinely from Apple, so they may not have been manufactured the right way. They may have deformed or unaligned the pins inside your iPod's charging socket. Because I think it's kind of impossible for the charger to cause any software problems.
    Bring your iPod to a nearby Apple store as soon as you can! Have somebody take a look and determine what the real problem is.

    Are you plugging it into a pc? If so it will not charge the iPad as there is not enough power try the back USB ports, may work.
    If it isn't plugged into a pc and plugged into your socket could be faulty socket adapter.
