I'm still stumped.

Because you aren't listening to the other responses, those phones need a
modified cable to charge. Many of those type also used that mini (micro?)
usb jack to use as headphones, standard cable to export the photos and of
course to charge it.

I have no idea what you read. Of course I have a cable with the mini USB
connector. There's no way to plug it in otherwise. I don't know why anyone
would bother to tell me that. I said I could charge the phone with two
chargers I have using the same cable as used with the two chargers that
won't charge the phone. So clearly the cable is not the issue. Further it
is clear the chargers don't have the resistor because in the Motorola cable
it is on a pin that does not exist in the type A connector on the chargers,
so no way to connect it. I said all this in the post you replied to. I
think you didn't listen to my post.


Anyway, I doubt your "I can't find it" claim...

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-W376.../dp/B00KC6CW2G

seems to be what you need.

"can't be found" is referring to the charger that came with the phone. That
is why I am looking for another way to charge this phone. The original
charger is MIA.

Thanks for your help.

I've measured the voltage on the different chargers, but didn't write down
the numbers as they were all pretty close to 5 volts. One web page did
mention the phone would not charge if the voltage was too high or too low.
I'm wondering how critical the high voltage is. Or possibly the phone is
triggering to not charge because the low voltage is too low and I don't see
it on the USB meter because it is too quick to see with the slow update
rate? The chargers that work are definitely higher current.
