V3 won't turn on

Hello,

Just got a new, unlocked razr v3 on Ebay. I purchased an OEM charger and car charger. I plugged in the charger and it said "cannot charge at this time" or something like that. I unplugged then replugged it and the message went away.
I left it on the charger overnight. Now the phone won't turn on at all. Nothing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

Take the battery out and see if it resets the phone.

Well, I tried it. Left the battery out for a half hour and still nothing.
Thanks, anything else I can try?

Yes, try a different battery...go to a cellphone shop and just have them try a different battery for you.

If you have a car charger try that, it may also be your home charger not charging your battery at all. Doesn't hurt to check.

Yeah, does it turn on when it is plugged in, because some phones turn on when there is a power source to it.

huh?

No, it doesn't work while plugged into the charger.

I've tried the car charger.......nothing. I'll have to try your cellphone shop/battery idea.

Thanks everyone. If you think of anything else, I appreciate it.

Phones do work while plugged into the charger.

Well, if it doesnt work with the charger in, when it is probably Bricked. THe flash Memory is probably corrupt or gone.

Flash memory has nothing with the phone's charging circuit.

Well, thats true, it would turn on but nothing would show if it was bricked. idk then, sorry for the false accusition about the flash memory. I am done here

UPDATE:

Bought a new battery, which seems to have a full charge. The phone turned on. When I hooked up the charger it said, "Unable to charge", so I turned it off and removed the battery until...............

I'll try the car charger next.

EDIT: phone says the same thing with the car charger.



So, what's the next step?


I've ordered a USB cable and MPT.

Thanks,
Mike
