V551 Charging Problem Solved!
Saturday, February 18th, 2006I’ve had a problem with my Motorola V551 for quite awhile. It was difficult to get it to charge. I don’t mean “to hold a charge” because it lasted for a couple days just fine. I mean that I couldn’t get it to charge. The charger wouldn’t make a good connection. The Motorola chargers aren’t like Nokias that actually plug in. They clip in near the curved edge. From the first time that I tried with the phone, I noticed that the charger didn’t quite clip in solidly and it would wiggle around. Then about a month ago I noticed that it would take some fiddling with the charger connection to get it to start charging. This progressively got worse until earlier this week it took me 10 to 15 minutes of playing with it until it would start charging. Today the problem came to a head and had to be solved.
