My 8525 keeps shutting down by its self
- Thread starter brain boy
- Start date
We need more detail.
- How long is a "while"
- Does it always do this or is it random behaviour?
- Is the battery fully charged?
- Have you tried soft / hard resets?
- Does the device go completely off or is it just the screen that goes off? (i;e; when you switch the device back on, do you need a long press on the power button or just a quick press?)
OK, it sounds like you have the poor battery contacts problem. To be sure, you can do a hard reset to rule out any software issues. If you have no backup program installed then you will lose anything you have installed to the phone however.
So you could go straight to a simple fix for this problem. That is a strip of card to push the battery more firmly against the gold connectors. First make sure the connectors are all clean:
In some rarer cases the connector block with all the gold contacts has actually become partially detached from the board - perhaps a hairline crack in the soldered contacts. Hopefully yours does not have this problem though.
