Blackberry Won't Charge, USB port works - software?
- Hi,
Somehow my BB won't charge over USB, but the port works.
I looked at the mini connector here at work under the microscope and cleaned it.
Also, when I take out the battery and just plug in the power, the blackberry will light up and tell me to put in the battery.
Is this a software issue? Seems to me that the USB connection is fine.
Anyone else have this?
I don't want to buy a cradle if I don't have to, and I always charge my phone with the cable.
Regards,

- your cable may not be working properly....have you tried different cables?
something could be wrong and it's not providing enough power for you to charge the device.01-04-10 08:17 PMLike 0 - I did not look up the pin connections yet. It just is weird that it will work without battery (telling me there's no battery).
I really can't have a cradle only, since I often charge my phone on the road.
No one else experience this? Maybe I will just try to put a newer OS onto it.
