My n97 is not charging with the charger, only the usb cable. how do i fix this? is it my battery or phone or charger?

sounds like you have a usb cable for charging only.You need a "2 way " usb cable,the kind used to transfer music and pictures to and from phone to computer.These one way cables are usually used in mobile chargering,as you don`t need to transfer things,just charge.Or you got wrong cable for your phone.

First Option:
mostly nokia chargers doesn't make problems...
just try the following..
connect ur mobile with a system (usb cable)...
found out whether it is charging or not...
if the same prblm appears then there is a prblm in ur cell phone or power jack(socket)...
if it charged with usb cable buy a new charger
Please change Phone Bettery and check the charging
IF Charging Problem not Solved So


Second Option:
Your Phone charging IC Fault So Please change charging IC
And charging Problem will Solved Quickly

Have you tried replacing the battery?? If its an older phone, the battery may not take a charge anymore.

Hello,

It looks like the battery in the phone is not accepting the charge. This can be happening if the battery has gone bad. Please contact Nokia people for further assistance.

Please feel free to contact us for further information.

Push the reaset button around or under the battery. You might need a paper clip to reset it.

well you will have to change the charging point and u can always do that at a phone repairs shop or take it to the company shop nearest to you for repairs and if you dont want to go tru that stree you can always charge your battery tru desktop charger , thnks .

Hello,

The problem is very clear, since you said you no matter the charger you use.

The problem with your phone is the charging port, 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.

Hi, the problem is with either the phone charger or the charging port IC.. First of all, change your charger and see if the problem will still repeat itself, if it does, then you have to take the phone to a phone technician to change the charging IC.....

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 :)

the issue is with the wall usb ac adapter just replace it (with a better quality one) and it should work, you can also charge the phone using your computer. Well... this fix worked for me.
