Slighly OT -- Cell Phone Not Charging
OK... not really on metalworking (metal content lithium ion battery???)...
but this group has so much technical info... just looking for ideas.. 2 months ago, I dropped my 3 month new cell phone in the pool. Stupid move, but hey s##t happens. Obviously phone was soaked. Grabbed it out, pulled the battery out, let phone dry for a week. White colored " tell-tale dot" inside phone is now red.. (this dot is used by the phone companies to determine whether or not to honor warranties if the phone gets wet) After one week put the battery back in. Phone beeped and charged right up. Phone worked fine. This week, battery won't charge. Pulled battery.. no corrosion that I can see. Crap.. and a business trip coming up. Need a cell phone Cingular says buy a new phone (at full retail of course.) Not very helpful at all. Any ideas on what to do/check/.... or any phone repair places? Why would it stop working after 2 months of really faultless operation? I am willing to take it apart to see the circuit board... any tips? (No big deal if I screw up.. I still need a new phone...) Thanks... |
