One of the most common malfunctions that can be encountered in the operation of a mobile phone is the situation where the phone has sat down and is not charging. In this case it is very important to correctly establish the cause of such a phenomenon.
Initial actions when there is no charge
The first steps you should take when you find that your phone is not charging is the following:
- check the serviceability of the outlet (the problem may well exist in houses with old wiring);
- make sure the charger is working;
- charging should correspond to the phone (recently many people have several gadgets for which individual chargers can be used.) It is very likely because of inattention to use a charge that does not correspond to the phone);
- check the serviceability of the cable and plug;
- examine the condition of the connector;
- Exclude the option when many services and applications are running.
What to do when the phone stops charging?
Circumstances, when the phone does not charge, can be several. What to do with this, you can decide if you know exactly the cause of such a phenomenon. The reasons can be as follows:
- The phone does not charge from charging . This is possible if the charger is out of order. This is quite likely when using Chinese-made devices. In this case, only the replacement of the charger will be the output.
- Battery charger failure. The cause in this case is twisting or bending the cord. You can replace the cord to solve the problem.
- Bad contact between the plug and the connector. This reason occurs quite often and happens when contact contamination or if the socket is shattered. It is recommended to remove the battery from the phone and wipe the contacts of the charging connector with a bandage soaked in pure alcohol. Do not use solvents.
- The connector shook and left the board. This is a more serious problem than the previous one. In this case, only replacement parts will help.
- The phone battery does not charge. This is possible if the battery has exhausted its life. Each battery is designed for a certain number of charges. The solution to the problem is to install a new battery.
- Breakage of built-in electronics. The cause is mechanical damage, moisture ingress. This phenomenon is often accompanied by a bloated battery. The solution to the problem will be the replacement of the battery.
- Malfunction of the controller responsible for charging the battery.
This problem is fixed in the event that after replacing the battery with a new one does not get the desired result, and the phone does not recharge again. Maybe this option: the phone sees charging, but does not charge. It can turn off when turned on or directly during charging. To carry out repairs, you need to disassemble the mobile phone and replace the controller. This process is possible only if you have the necessary skills, so it is recommended that you contact the service center for assistance.
After a thorough investigation of possible causes, you will be able to make the right decision as to what to do if your phone is not charging.
