Weird Problem

[ozamalloa]

My Atom has been working excelent for more than 6 months.
The problem is that when I try to charge it through the AC or a USB it doesnt charge anymore, the orange light doesnt turn on and the symbol in the phone turns only for a few seconds fron the battery into a wall plug, but then nothing...
I took out the battery and then charge it and worked but only when the device is off completely not when it is on or on stand by...

What can I do?

I just made a self diagnostic and when it gets to the part of the USB/AC Charging it says battery 100% charged (it passes the test) and that is not true, battery is at 18% right know

I have the same issue where my battery always shows as 100% even when you use it to 1% its still shows 100% and then it just quit when it runs out. Damn weird.... Just happened today and I only had the Atom Exec for 2 months... :( Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

It was faulty battery not reporting correct capacity & usage.

I had a similar problem with my Atom. It could not charge the device from USB at first, then it got worse and stopped to charge from wall outlet. What I found out was that the connection plate at mini-USB port of Atom was worn out slighlty. I solved the problem by forcing usb cable connector into a mini-USB port, so it went further a bit (half a millimeter) and now everything is Ok - no problems to charge from either USB cable or wall charger.

I had the same problem, and found out that one pin in the mini usb socket bent downwards, fixed it myself and now its working fine

Mate! You gotta bring it to the SC... Its the fuse. The charging loop gose through the fuse and since it doesn't charge - most likely its the fuse (yo can test it with the normal tester...) If its not the fuse, it can be either of two - UEM Chip (Universal Energy Managmnt) or your PA (power amp). You can test it by measuring the resistance on the very left contacts of the battery ON YOUR PHONE! If the resistance close to 1 - its PA...

Wouldn't recomend to replace it yourself... Go for repair centre.

It's going to be a loose USB connection...

I did it on mine a while back, you have to hit the patch cable fitting in vigorously to the unit, and then from that day forward, no problems with charging!

Clean battery + phone><batt contacts if that makes you happy (it made me reassured)
