Wizard won't turn on

[TazMan1688]

How's it going all?

My phone has slowly been dying on me, and today was the final straw. I shut the phone off last night, and it will not turn back on. I've tried using a house/usb/car charger with no success. Would I be wrong in assuming that it is a faulty battery? Could there be another problem? The furthest screen the phone reached today was the tmobile white load screen, before turning black and shutting off.

If it is the battery, would this be an appropriate replacement?

It does sound suspiciously like a dead battery. Try cleaning the contacts on the battery and phone first. If that still doesn't help, and if the phone hasn't been damaged (you didn't share that info), then you may want to get a replacement battery. The one you linked to would work fine.

Another battery option for you.

There is no apparent damage that I've seen. I have had a problem with the phone losing service lately, along with a crackling sound during the start of a call.

Before I order this item, are there any retailers that would carry it? I'm leaving for a week and wouldn't have this replacement in time.

Thanks for the replies!

Check your local Cingular stores -- I don't know if the 8125 battery will fit into a Wizard 200 device (e.g. Qtek 9100), but they should be electrically identical.

I just ordered a replacement battery from amazon.com after trying a battery from a friend....and the phone worked.

I tried one last time to get the phone to charge, but to no avail...UNTIL I seen the orange light after wiggling it around for a bit. The phone made it to the loading screen, and then the light, and the power-up disappeared. I've been trying to get the light to come back on, but I can't seem to get that sweet spot.

Does this sound like a problem with the usb port? If so, is there anyway to fix that?

Thanks!
