Long story, but I sent my device back to noikia for a problem not charging after battery completely died. They said it was no problem. I am using an after market charger. Would someone with a 710 take a look at their charger and read out the specifications for it?


Thanks

I have a Lumia 800 but it is 5VDC, 1A output. Nearly all smart phones use this specification. Some older/less powerful chargers are 0.5A (typically what computer USB outputs).

Hmm I looked it up and I am using a 1A on my charger. however, factory is 1.2, is that going to be a problem? It will not charge and the battery is completely dead.

Stock Lumia 710 charger is 5v 1200mA

So long as the charger you are using is 5v and at least 1200mA it will be fine

Problems would only begin if it was more or less than 5v and if it was less than 1200mA (You could have 5000mA charger and if it was 5v it would be fine)

So if your charger is 1000mA, it might not be able to charge the phone properly, or at least not with it powered on, and it could damage the charger because the phone is pulling too much from it

It is strange that the 710 uses a 1.2A charger, as the 800/900 are 1.

Now I am stumped. I put the battery to a volt meter and it reads full 3.8v. The 710 will not power on at all. It viberates sometimes but will not power on. I also cannot get a computer to see it. It just came back from nokia and they said it was fine. Now I am confused.


Hmm.
