i just got my P800 in and when i plug the charger into it it does nothing, No red solid light, Nothing. Now if i leave the charger in and remove the battery out of the back, i look REALLY closely into the lil red LED on the top right, The red light blinks rapidley and faintley. i fooled with the battery around in the back and at one point got the light to stay a solid RED (charging) but the light cut off after about 10 minutes, and through all of this i STILL havent been able to turn the thing on. i think the battery is bad, but do anybody have any suggestions?? comments?? :crazyeyes:

Thanx!!

Two things. Either you have a bad battery or a bad charger. Since you just got your fone, i would suggest taking it back for a replacement or refund asap

Thank you much for the quick response, i actually went to my sisters house this evening and she has the exact same phone as i but with a differant charger, i swapped my batt with hers and so on with the chargers, it sux but i think the phone is DOA. i guess the only option that i have now is to send it directley to SE and have them figure it out, unless anybody else has any better ideas??? 😞, oh well i guess you win some ya lose some eh?

Thanx!

The fone has an internal charger. i guess that could be the problem. but then again, you mentioned you just got your fone, so i would strongly suggest returning it and asking for replacement or refund
