Greetings,

2 weeks ago I bought used Qtek 9000 and since I didn't have any problems until I had tried to recharge it by regular AC USB recharger from the wall outlet.
I'm stuck to my PC every day so I didn't have a need to recharge it that way, when I connect it to my comp recharging works fine.
I thought that maybe that recharger was broken so I had bought new one but still I cannot recharge my phone from the wall.
I tried 4 different USB cables (every single one works fine between HTC & PC but with chargers - no go) and a few different outlets in my home but none of it work.
The ROM is Ranju v7.1 if that matters but I really don't know what to try else.

If someone knows what should I try next please suggest, I appreciate it very much.

Cheers.

Maybe your charger is broken. In fact, almost certain, since you can link up to your PC, so it can't be the port, nor the datacable. This means that it must be the charger.

Try measuring the voltage on the power cable's end, and if it shows nil, you got your culprit!

It can also be, that your USB-charger does not provide enough power to charge your Universal.

You should not simply take ANY USB-charger (i.e. from an mp3 player). Try to use one with at least 1A.

Cheers,

Thanks for your replies,

I have two USB rechargers, the first I got with a device, (the guy told me that was the original but obviously he screwed me) that has 500mA only,
the second one I had bought myself is weaker, only 400mA.

I'll look for the 1A USB recharger, now.

Cheers.

I had the same problem & found that one for a Motorola W375 mobile phone worked fine so, as said above, it is probably the charger
