bowulf Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 My charging port has become extremely flaky to the point it won't charge (lights blink on and off) 80-90% of the time. I see replacement ports on Ebay for $2, but I do not see any videos or reports of anybody fixing their Nokia phones charging ports. I verified it was not the battery by swapping the battery with another phone and charging it successfully on that phone. I love my WP, but this is first time I have ever had a charging port take down a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawnPaul Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Try a different charging cable. Sometimes they get corrosion. Sent from my L920 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowulf Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have tried about 6 or 7 now -- when you have a fleet of smart phones or DVP, they seem to accumulate like rabbits. My interim solution was to purchase an external battery charger for $7 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Battery-Ccharger-for-NOKIA-BP-4W-BP4W-LUMIA-810-T-MOBILE-822-VERIZON-US-PLUG-/161136057764?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item2584751da4), which beat the $50+ for a wireless charging option.

antonius Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 When I had a charging port problem similar to yours I sent it to Nokia and they fixed it at no charge. Since Nokia returned my Nokia 822, I've converted it to charge wirelessly and I will never go back! I bought: Wireless Charging Battery Cover for $27.77 http://www.ebay.com/itm/321300690533?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 QI Wireless Charger Charging Pad for $17.48 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GDWMYIU/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_.YNbtb19A3ZPNSVZ For a total of $45.25. I like the battery charging idea as well. I may buy one of those chargers since Nokia sent me an extra battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
