> problems with k700i (possible battery)
Bookmark topic
hi, i've just purchased a k700i which my dad got from overseas (hong kong)
however, it cannot be turned on with the battery that came with it..
now when i try to charge the new battery the REd led does lit..
but thats it.. after TRYING to charge it for few hours....
nothing changed , LED still on and i cannot turn the fone on at all.......
i have just tried the fone with another battery and the fone turns on fine...
now i am guessing that either the battery has problems, or that the fone can't charge the battery properly..
so does anyone has this problem?? i have yet to try to charge the fone with another battery (or vice verse)
so does anyone has this problem??????? was so excited with the fone that it can finally replace my t610.............. oh well..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
...the red LED light in the power botton should only turn on when the battery has very little power left that it should be charged right away.
...when the charger has been plugged, you should see on the middle of the screen a battery icon (this is only when the phone is turned off). A completely drained battery might not show the icon right away. The
manual says that it might take as long as 30 minutes before the icon can be seen.
...try charging the other battery that you used for testing. If your charger can charge that battery, then we can safely assume that the battery that originally came with your phone is the cause of all your K700i problems.
Hope you resolve your problems. You have a great phone in your hands.

I've had exactly the same problem with my new K700 which was bought two days ago...red LED shows but that's it the battery ain't charging at all...this after more than 16hours plugged into the charger( as suggested by the salesman)...so now I'm very pissed off and returning the phone 2morro.

Make sure u 100% correct before u go change and make urself like a fool...
When u plug it in does it beep........ just leave it for about 2-3 hrs see what happens... and make sure your talktime is less than 15min.. otherwise they wont change it. --- thats incoming and outgoing=<15min

I spoke on the phone for less than 2 minutes with my girlfriend on Friday...maybe spent 5 minutes surfing was( esato) and the rest of the time just played around with the phone....and NO...there was never any beep sound when I plugged it into the charger.

Chances of that happening is minimal. Actually I don't have problem with the phone, just the battery.
