Well guys, this is basically my last resort. Title says it all, really, my Atrix absolutely refuses to charge unless placed in my lapdock.
Originally, I was just thinking this was a bad charge/usb cable. Tried all of them in my house and at work. Nothing.
Next, I assumed it was a battery problem. Wrong again. My battery in my brother's Droid X works perfectly. If that wasn't enough proof, I work for an AT&T retailer, and a few days ago a customer traded in an original Atrix. I immediately took their battery and tried it in mine. Same thing.
Alright, ROM issue, perhaps. Flashed multiple versions of CM9 by Turl and Jokersax, and the Nuetrino builds. Notta.
I finally begin to tell myself it was just a faulty charge port, and that I'd need to have it repaired. Out of other options, I placed it in my lapdock. Lo and behold, she charges up, every single time.
Anyone have ANY idea why this would be happening?
I've already attempted taking the phone apart and checking the connections inside. I'm no technician, but everything seemed fine. Slight problem there, my cheap screw driver stripped 2 of those T5 torx screws during reassembly, so now I've gotta find a way to get those out before I can get inside again, if necessary. Ugh.
It's obviously not really realistic to carry my lapdock with me everywhere, although that's been my only option as of late.
If any of you guys can suggest a solution, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Help me out, fellow Atrix users.
