    Hey all,

    Here's the situation. I was listening to radio on my 6610 last night when I
    fell asleep without turning the radio off. When I woke up the next day, my
    phone had turned off, probably because the radio drained the battery (which
    is likely since the battery was on one bar the last time I checked it). When
    I went to charge my phone, the screen just stayed blank. I also tried to
    turn on my phone whilst it was plugged into the powerpoint, and changing
    powerpoints as well...still nothing. Finally, I pulled the battery out and
    tried testing it with a little electric motor (from one of my brother's
    toys), and found that the motor wouldn't run. I've left the phone plugged
    into the charger for about half the day, hoping that it would start
    charging, but so far it hasn't been successful.

    So, my question is, did my battery just 'die' while I was sleeping, or could
    there be another problem? The phone and battery (original genuine Nokia
    battery) had been working fine up until now (my phone is just over a year
    old), so I don't want to go out and buy a new battery to find that it's not
    the problem.

    While on the subject of batteries, is there any problem with buying
    non-genuine replacements, or are they okay to use?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Eminent

    I'd get a geniune Nokia, you can probably find one on ebay at a decent
    price. There have been a number of incidents in which Nokia's with
    non-oem batteries caught on fire.
