Nokia C3-00 has been stashed in a drawer for a long time. The battery will not charge and phone wont turn on even while connected to charger. Aside from buying a new battery any suggestions?

Hope it helps.....
Best to you

1. Try another charger cable
2. Try replacing the battery

first, check on your battery. see if there are no bulges coz if there is one, your battery is already worn out and that wont charge anymore (change your battery if that is the case). aside from that, check your charger if it is truly fixed, try other phone chargers fitted to your phone to see if the battery will charge.

better you go to nokia service center make a good check up or try by replacing with nokia s original battery and charge for it continusly for upto 6 hrous with out switch on the phone ..... try it

Such issue may appear when Nokia charger adapter CA-146C is used with incompatible charger to charge Nokia N97. Currently compatible chargers for N97 with CA-146C are Nokia Travel Charger AC-4 and Nokia Compact Travel Charger AC-5.

Spangley, just plug it into your PC. If your battery needs charging, it will charge slowly simply while being connected to your computer. Nothing else to do!







Goodluck :)

1.Check the device's battery level for at least two bars of strength.
2.If the battery level is low, charge the battery.
3.If the issue is not resolved, remove the back cover.
4.Remove the battery.
5.Wait 10 seconds.
6.Press and hold the W key.
7.While pressing down the W key, re-insert the battery.
•The device restarts and after approximately 15 seconds, the 'Recovery' screen appears
•Release the power button but *continue holding the home button*, for another 30 seconds.
Step
Thanks

hey,
how about check your charger .. maybe there is a problem with your charger... try another nokia charger
Cheers

ur phone is affected by bsod(black screen of death). keep it in ur drawer and forget it.

it sounds like a problem with the charging port (where you actually plug the charger into your phone). unfortunately, you may have to replace the phone, as switching batteries or chargers wont solve the problem.

1. The charger may be damaged To check if the charger is damaged, use another functioning charger. The charger cable has a tiny wire that easily breaks when used without proper care. If the phone still does not charge with a functioning charger, try next step. 2. The battery may be damaged Change the battery and try charging again. If the phone still does not charge with a functioning battery, try next step. 3. The battery terminals may not connect properly with the battery connectors Check the battery connector to see if the battery and the connector connects well. The phone will indicate charging only when there?s enough power supply from the battery. click here Solution Procedure: If problem is confirmed, adjust the battery connector using tweezers to reach the battery terminal and establish connection. Or try next step. 4. The charging pin may be damaged or does not connect well with the board's interface Check the charging pins to see if they are well connected to the mother board. Sometimes the charging pins wear out or loosens from its connection with the mother board. Solution Procedure: Check if the pin is bent. Straighten the pin using tweezers. Make sure the board interface is also clean otherwise, you will need to clean it by rubbing its surface using an eraser or brushing it with a board solution. Or replace with a new charging pin. Make sure the charging pin touches with the board interface to establish connection. The CCONT IC for DCT3 or UEM for DCT4 or the "K" resister for non-Nokia models may be damaged If the phone still does not charge after adjustments are made, the problem is CCONT IC for DCT3 or UEM for DCT4 or ?K? resister for non-Nokia models.
