This happened to me as well. I just ended up going through my insurance coverage from Best Buy to get the phone replaced.

You can buy the port on eBay as a replacement part. If you are looking to replace it yourself there is a great youtube video that shows how to tear down the thunderbolt:

Here is a link to the ebay search results:

Another option if you do not really need the usb cable to connect the phone to your computer is to check out an external battery charger. you can pick them up cheap on ebay along with spare batteries. that way you can have one on charge while using another. here is a link to the search results on ebay:

I hope this helps!

This charger is a maintenance charger and will not have enough power to charge a dead battery. It is used to trickle charge a battery to keep it charged and to off set any parasitic drain.

I have a Serfas Thunderbolt rear bike light. The charge light indicates a full charge but the light does not turn. Are there ways to fix this?

Could be bulb failure or an electrical fault with the battery. I would take it back to where you purchased it and ask them to replace it under warranty. 12_6_2013_11_33_53_pm.png

Why will my blackberry curve will not charge?

Hello,

I advice you try charge with a similar charger to see if it will charge, it did not charge, then it means the charging port on your blackberry is bad and will need to be replace but if it charges, it is the charger you will need to replace.

Check with a similar charger to see if it will charge, if not, go to any phone service center within you vicinity to help you replace the charging port and you will see that after replacing the charging port, your phone will charge.

Take care

LG VX9900 IT WILL NOT CHARGE I THINK THE CHARGING

Hello
Before you conclude that its the charging port i think you need to test another compartible charger and see if it works or you could open your phone with a phone screwdriver and dust the charging port and try it if it works.If it doesn't work then you would need to replace the charging port.Temporarily you can use a desktop charger to charge your batterywhile the port is being replace.

Motorola L9 no cherging

Hello,

I suggest you try to use another charger to use another charger to charge your phone, if it does not charge, it means the charging port is bad and will need to be replaced.

You can also use your charger to charge a similar phone to see if your charger is not the problem, if your charger charges the similar phone, it means the charging port of your phone is bad and will need to be replaced.

Replace the charging port and your phone will charge.

Take care.

Got a new blackberry pearl will not charge is it

Try a different charger (like your car charger instead of your home charger) - make sure while it's plugged in - the display shows that the charger is charging it, blinking - or bars going up or down, or a thunderbolt on the display screen next to the battery power symbol etc

Once you know your charger is working, its probably easiest to find someone else with a BB and ask them if you can trade them batteries for a day to see if it's a bad battery. ( You can usually buy a battery for $5 on ebay, or up to $20 in a cell phone store)

All in all, trade someone for their battery, or their charger - if you dont wanna buy one at first. See if the problem follows your old battery etc..

And if neither solve your problem then its the BB itself. I have called in to the cell company before and let them know we have a BB that will not hold a charge no matter what battery or charger I use... and they usually replace it under warranty as long as its less than 12 months old, and the white squares in the battery compartment are still white.
