[Q] Battery does not charge, please help.

---

Hello,
my GSII does not take any voltage from any source (USB port or the charger) therefore can not charge it.
I have already bought a genuine replacement battery from my Samsung and already bought a USB board (thought it was the plug on the GSII) and made the replacement. When the battery came, it still had about 50%, the phone booted up just fine, never was able to charge it, after that i always get the temperature icon, even the temperature is not very high. The same battery also did not charge on a GSII friends phone.
This is a very strange symptom, any help or ideas would came in hand.

Thanks,
chapas

Could be a hardware issue.
If you are still on warranty, go to the store/service center and ask for a warranty replacement of the battery and/or the phone.
Good luck !

Thanks for the answer, i'm out of luck, it was an eBay buy.

Just to add more info, i have a mains charger 5V, 1A. I've used it for months, i know that the GSII takes 0.7A but it is capped (read this on this forum), so i used this one for convenience.

I don't know if it has something to do with this.
