your post is hard to read. You should type better.

Anyway, battery may have fried. Try a new battery.

I usually use daydeal.com

Once a battery completely dies, it takes a few minutes after plugging the phone into the wall before the battery has enough juice to power on.

You could try using a USB cable from your computer to charge your BB.
That is what I used with my first BB.

I don't think that's his problem. I think it was more that the bb won't take a charge in general now. Not just from his chewed up charger.

Well, I'll be the 1st to hazard a guess that since the OP hasn't posted back to his own thread in 4 days, his problem has been resolved and this thread is now dead.

People usually keep posting when their issues havent been fixed.

Metal thing on the phone? Are you referring to the USB port? If so, you wont be able to sync or update your OS; the cradle charger is only going to charge.

Eventually you may have to get your phone replaced.
