Model 6102b phone wont turn on/ wont charge proble...

so ive had this phone (6102b) for a few years and its been working fine. a few months ago it turned off and wouldnt charge. Randomly a month later it just started working again. About a week ago the phone died again. When i put the charger in to charge it, I can see on the front screen that it changes colors very slightly, so i can see power is getting through the battery. Anyone know why its not charging though/ why the charging screen won't come up?

since you have had it for a couple of years, the battery may be nearly past its lifetime. batteries only can cope with a limited number of charges/discharges before they go, so i would suggest that you purchase a new battery. another possibility is that the phone may be damaged slightly, but i don't think this would be the problem (as this happened with an Alcatel 756 i had, a month after purchasing it the same thing that you describe happened to me, then i left it alone for a month and then it started working again and hasn't broken down since). but i really doubt this is the scenario you are in, i really think you just need a replacement battery.
hope this helps

  • TS2634 my phone wont charge

    my phone wont charge in any plug i put it in

    Try blowing out the port, if that does not work, try another charger to see if it is the phone or the charger.
    If it is the charger and not the phone, and it's under warranty, take it to the place of purchase with receipt and have it replaced.
    If out of warranty, just buy a new one.  They are not that expensive.

    phone wont charge

    Plug iPhone in with Wall Charger for 10 minutes. It may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. This can take about 20 seconds while on charger. If still nothing, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone, along with Wall Charger and USB Cable (they are covered by Warranty, too, and could be faulty) to Apple for resolution.

  • Found a dead spider in my charging port (iphone 4) this morning. Now phone wont charge at all... What can I do? It's now all totally cleared of lint and legs :/

    This morning my phone wouldnt charge, I tried three different charging cables. They are lighting up to show they are working, but the phone does not charge or show a symbol or connect to the computer.
    So i cleaned out the lint from inside the charging port. and inside all the chargers, some of them were new off the shelf so would not be the problem.
    I found a dead spider inside the port. Have blown into it, thoroughly cleaned with a needle any debris and fluff and spider legs etc...
    It still wont charge. I have ten percent battery... it's off for now. It is not covered for a chat with apple at all, unless i pay $40 which is crazy expensive.
    Any ideas of what to do to save this phone? Obviously i cant back it up because it wont plug in to anything.
    For now it is not on charge, just trying to let it dry out.
    Probably i squashed this spider when plugging it in. therefore there could be spider guts all ruining the inside? I don't know how the ports are made. Up until not charging
    there were no issues at all.

    Hi lisellemono1,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having charging issues with your iPhone; I know how frustrating that can be. Based on your description and the possibility that there may be other debris or residue still in the charging port, you may need to have your iPhone evaluated or serviced.

  • My phone wont charge? Help!

    it will only come on if you wiggle the cable, so changed the cable and still didnt work! Now wont charge atall

    Mine only charges if I turn it off, plug it in and restart it when plugged in. It's not ideal but maybe you could try it? From what I know problems with battery are internal, cannot be fixed and are caused by using non-genuine Apple chargers.

  • I phone wont charge error message

    My i phone 4 wont charge-error message -chrging is not supported with this device
    but i am using an applle charger

    Two biggest causes of this are crud/lint in your dock connector, causing a short, thus producing that error message. So, use canned air & a soft toothbrush to clean your dock connector. Also, look for any bent pins. If that doesn't fix things, try a different USB cable.

  • HT4993 I upgraded to the new IOS 7 and now my phone wont charge

    I upgraded to the new IOS 7 and now my phone wont charge

    I just updated my phone last night while I was sleeping and because of the update my reliable fast charging cable stopped working. Guess what happened...my alarm didn't go off because my phone was dead. I have tried 3 different chargers and they don't work. I was dissapointed with the first IOS 7 update and now I'm mad. I have always been an apple supported for 20 years. They need to fix this IOS now or I will never buy another IPhone again. Just reverse these horrible "updates". Please give advice if anyone can, thanks

  • Phone wont charge.....charging port is loose

    So, this is my 4th phone and am now waiting on the 5th relpacement.   Each phone has had the same issue where the charging port is loose and then the phone wont hold a charge.    I took to verizon store at lunch today and the saleswoman said that she hadnt heard of this issue with these phones.   I asked her to replace with something equivilant that would not have this issue and of course was told that verizon could not do anything for me but order yet another replacement.    now have to wait two days for a replacement and this is my sole phone that my kids use to call me on.   The phone will die before the end of the day and I am out of luck.   I am frustrated by the way that verizon did not really want to work with me and I am over having to replace the phone ever 2-3 months.
    Is there a fix short of replacing.....and is this a known issue with these phones??

    Temp fix is a do it your self deal. 1. Power down phone. 2. Using as fine point machinist or eye glass screw driver or needle tip, (Razor blade works good) squeeze the female port together from around the outside edge making the hole more tight. Do not try this with a loved one, phone only. It will work for a few more day till you get the new one. Do not tell Version you did this as they will have an excuse to denies responsibility for replacement or repair.

  • Hi i have an iphone 5 the screen in broken the lock button is not working and now the phone wont charge do u think warranty will cover my phone for a replacement or no?

    HI so to be clear
    screen cracked
    lock button isent working
    wont charge
    do you think apple will still cover this under a replacement warrenty?

    Depends how that happened and how long the warranty is still left .....u can replace the screen ...and does the home button work? If so then go to settings> general> accessibility >assistive touch( it has many functions like locking the screen ,screenshotting just by touching the screen
    Hope this helps
