Flashing Orange Led.

[sblop]

My phone went fubaaa, and it were sent to rep.
They fixed it, and it has worked great for 5 days. When I woke up this morning my vox havent charged, and the diode flashed orange. After consulting the manual, it states:

Flashing orange: Battery temperature is hotter or colder than the functional limits of 0 to 48 degrees Celsius (32 to 118 degrees Fahrenheit), and has stoped charging.

It isnt. :confused:

Obviously it sounds like a faulty battery, but do any of you guys have a better suggestion? I have tried charging with a usbcable, and with the charger, but it didnt make any difference. Or should I just send it back to rep again?

sorry for diggin' up this old thread, but I'm having the same problem here so I was curious if it was solved somehow.

I just bought a new cheap battery from ebay to replace the exhausted original one (which still is charging fine, but has a very short life) and it never got charged, it keeps blinking the amber led...

Do you know if there's something I can try before sending the battery back to seller?

Check the pins of the VOx....somethimes with aftermarket batteries they do not fit correctly

Controlla i contatti...magari con uno stuzzicadente allungali un pochino....a volte non toccano bene i contatti della batteria....succede. auguri

Grazie SuperMario! ;)

Anyway... I tried everything but with no success (amber led always flashing, while charging normally with the old original battery), and the vendor agreed to replace the battery with a new one.

What is really weird is that after one week, I received the new replacement battery and this one worked, but before packing the "defective" battery for sending it back i made a last try and it was charging... I wonder if it could be some problem related to something like a "ghost" residual charge, or whatever went off in a week of non-use.

So... that's my story, maybe it can be helpful for someone else...

Cheers
