Phone Won't Power On

mbacker · ‎05-31-2010

I've had my phone turned off for the last month because I am currently out of the country. I went to turn on the phone to use the alarm but it would not power on. I tried to charg the phone through my computer using the USB cord but the light stayed red. Is my battery shot? Is there a way to turn on my phone?

Do you have Desktop Manager installed on your PC? If not, it won't charge through the USB port. Your best bet is to plug it into a wall charger.

John,

I do not have the Desktop Manager installed on my PC but I have charged the phone previously on that computer without the installation. Was the first time successfully charging the phone just a fluke?

Thank you

Usually the drivers need to be installed in order to charge via USB from the computer.
