QTek 9100 wont power on!!!!

[justyntime]

The battery was getting low so I hooked it up to charge via USB and when I went to grab it before work I realized that it wouldnt turn on!! Any thoughts? I know the charge light came on when I first plugged it in but nothing was lit when I unplugged it. When I plug it in now I get nothing.

Is it a paperweight or do I just need a new battery? Maybe the battery, being bad, never charged when I hooked it up and it died???

Any thoughts?

Just to test it for you I took out my battery and pluged in my 8125. It will NOT turn on without the battery. So it could be just the battery in your case.

Hope it helps.

yes that does help because I was wondering if it would power on without the battery. I guess I'll have to hunt for a new battery that isnt located in honk kong or somewhere that would require a customs fee. I think I'll just head over to my local TMobile store when the MDA's come out and see if they will let me use their dummy battery to test my 9100.

I just got my 9100 used and so far Im starting to wonder if the seller was getting rid of it because its a lemon. The reception is horrid compared to my sidekick2 which of course is not known for its excellent reception by any stretch lol.

I thought the battery was empty ... Now it doesn't recharge at all .... I used the brand new Vario for weeks without a problem. Now I cannot return it under warranty because I cannot relock it :cry:
