Hi,

I've recently bought a second hand C905 and it has the following problem:

I charge it up and it gets so far (30% or 50%) then either shows fully charged or reports a charging error. The battery is not the problem as I've tried it in other phones and it's fine. I've reflashed the firmware, but the problem is still there. Otherwise the phone works perfectly fine.

Why would the phone then lose charge quickly or not charge to the full amount? If I charge the battery fully on another phone and then place it in the C905, it won't turn on....like it thinks that the battery is dead!!

Any advice on fixing this myself?

Thanks!!


Rich.

Sounds like a hardware problem perhaps with the contacts that connect to the battery, or perhaps it's been water damaged?
