Flip no power, unresponsive on charger

[Anicita]

My bbflip won't light up when on charger and is dark. The other night it was acting odd (making text sounds when there were no messages) so I turned it off. It would not turn back on. I have tried two different chargers, one I know worked earlier in the day, and the phone is still powered off. Nothing lights up when it is plugged in to indicate my device recognizes being charged. Out of desperation I did a battery pull, but obviously didn't work.

I am in contract and cannot "upgrade" for another six months, and really like this phone anyway. Any suggestions?

Try a new battery -- it might be that your battery is dead. Go to a servie center and see if they will loan you a battery that is known to be good and see if that fixes it.

Did you try plugging it into you're computer? Might be battery or charging port. If you computer recognizes it it could be the charges you are using.

I've had to send mine in for repair 3 times for this same issue- it would stop taking a charge from the wall and car chargers, but would sometimes work with the USB charger. The repair slip said it was a faulty port.
Good luck.

Another way to charge is with the pod. If you can't charge thru the USB port and can't get it fixed, I would suggest getting the charging pod. Here is the link on Amazon:
