I left my mobile off over xmas and then when I went to use it flat battery.
Problem is now it won't charge, Nokia 6600 with a BL-5C Lithium Ion.
Ok so the battery is old, bought a new one, genuine Nokia.
Same thing won't charge at first then did manage to get it to start. Made the mistake of turning it on and my son rang me on it. Result was it discarged and died again. Now it refuses to charge again.
Did some searching and found a ref to the battery being a Smartbattery that needs some charge to let the phone to recognise it before it charges.
Ok thought I could get some charge into it with my microprocessor charger, a Swallow, made for LiPos. Set it up and got an error saying overvoltage on the cells. Couldn't find my multimeter as the son as borrowed it.
Has anyone had and similar probs or thoughts on this? Can take it too a repairer next week when the get back from hols but it's just a bleeding battery.........
