xs1 Posted July 13, 2005 CID Share Posted July 13, 2005 I bought This phone and it claims to be 100% functional and sh*te. But for some reason, the bitch has been charging for like 6 hours now, and will not turn on. When i first got it out the package i saw the display say "Alltel" and a blue pretty background, then it just went off. Now iv had it charging 6 hours, like i said and it still will not turn on for sh*t... Anyone got some experence in the electronic fieild ( well more then me anyhow) and can give some advice? bad battery? Bad phone? Shorted? Just lost a 1/4 weeks pay for nothing? anyone? edit 4 spelling. yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted July 13, 2005 CID Share Posted July 13, 2005 I'm not much of a cell phone expert, but I would recommend trying to call up your cellular provider and ask them for help. If they aren't able to help you get it working, there should be some sort of warranty and you can return it. Sorry I can't be of much help...

REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted July 13, 2005 CID Share Posted July 13, 2005 It might be an affected battery or the power cord isn't sending power to the battery. It could also be your outlet, have you tried a different outlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted July 13, 2005 CID Share Posted July 13, 2005 So holding the button with the red phone (end?) for like 10 secs won't do anything? Maybe is there like a keypad lock or hold or something, maybe on the side somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caliguy Posted July 13, 2005 CID Share Posted July 13, 2005 I used own a cell phone store and this is advice I can give you 1: contact the seller and return it 2: contact the manufacture to get repaired 3: no other choice the service provider wouldn't do anything cause phone is not sold by thier authorized dealer. hope this clear the confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one 3 weeks ago.. but hell, you know my luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xs1 Posted July 13, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well i brought the phone to my service provider, he said it doesnt even accept charge, so the phone is broken... It's claimed to be " Phone Functional Test: In Excellent working condition " Which is obviously false. Im awaiting their email now, but i have no idea how this works.. Iv'e never had to return anything i bought online before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
