Not charging . not nworking battery dead? - Citizen Eco-Drive JR3080-51L Wrist Watch

The solar watch that you have is broken then.

Just fixed mine. While plugged in, depress all the buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. It should turn on and show that it is charging. The ticking will stop as well.

It sounds like you have had trouble with this from day one, the problem is the solar cells are not charging the battery, or the rechargeable battery is defective. I recommend returning the watch if warranty is still in place.

You haven't said what kind or what brand of watch you have. If it is a quartz or battery watch, it may need a new battery. Watches often sit on the shelf for long enough periods the battery may be going dead. If it is a windup style, are you winding it all the way up? If it is an automatic winding watch, Have you worn the watch subtantially long enough to get it wound? If it is a kinetic, have you worn it long enough to charge the battery fully? If it is an Eco Drive have you subjected it light long enough to charge the battery? Have you called the store?

You likely have a dead battery. Follow the instructions on this web site http://forums.watchuseek.com/f43/how-change-ctl1616-rechargeable-battery-41076.html
it is clear and covers most casio models. Watch closely for the springs when taking your watch apart. You can order the battery online (the best option) but most people that use a standard lithium battery seem to have no problem.

Most makers recommend regular servicing, so perhaps a visit to the makers service center would solve the problem.

The charges for this are indicated on their web site (tissot.ch). Go to the bottom of the page and their is a link marked "repairs". Click on this to see their charges. Alternatively you could contact their service centers to confirm servicing charges are the same as the repairs

1
ensure all three of the springs are present
the 2 at the top confirm that the case is closed the on at the bottom sends the sound signal.

2
ensure the metal casing on the back of the movement is not touching the back. and check the movement is correctly seated

it means the battery is going dead.
