When the battery is totally depleted, you will need to use a charger that came with the phone. Sometimes it will take a few mintues (give it 10) for the battery/charging circuit to come on.
Sometimes you can charge from other sources than the charger that came with the phone. You generally will need enough charge on the battery to start the phone.
Example: If I have enough battery to where the boots and turns off, I can generally get it to charge from USB or my car adapter. You will need to get the phone to turn on and boot most of the way up before it will take a low current charge. If my phone is so dead it will not even turn on, I must plug it into the AC adapter. Sometimes even then the light does not turn on right away.
The problem is probably due to the number of amps provided by the charger. When the battery is totally dead, the charging circuit is drawing so many amps that it will prevent low amp chargers from being able to do the job. That's why these phones have such heavy duty AC adapters.

One more thing. There was a possible solution on a website I came across, but I dont' remember which one. Sorry.
The restart feature described how each of the pins of the USB connection needed a specific range of voltages to properly power the phone. However, ONE of the pins (I dont remember which) will restart the phone if the voltage applied is out of the required range! I wish I could find this site and run a test case on my phone. If it works I'll be sure to tell everyone. If you know the site, please let me know! Thanks!!

well, way dont you listen to all those how told you on the battery?
from your description it seems to be the battery - its dead
it cant charge and there for the phone wont turn on
if you take out the battry then the phone wont have even a hope to light up - wont it?
does it work well when you plug it with the AC adapter?
if soo then its most certainly the battery!
buy a new 1
good luck

When the battery is 100% drained , there is no way it can be charged again from AC/DC Adaptor or USB Cable .. it needs to get charged at least 30% from some phone repair shop so it will work .. i had the same problem .. So dont get it to Drain 100% ever ..

On the HW6500 series there are two small pips on the inside of the rear cover. One of them operates a tiny switch which is supposed to switch off the battery if you take the cover off with the power on. BUT if the plastic rear cover gets warm as it often does in your pocket then the case will move a fraction and poof your ipaq goes off or resets. Be very careful when you put the rear case on - push the pips into the holes and squeese hard as you slide the cover up. Plug into charge for a few minutes and the red light should change to orange. Leave it charging over night and all should be well again. It is a bad design fault - in extreme cases you may have to get a replacement rear cover - quite expensive. can any one tell me if you can short this switch out somehow?

People, please listen. I had the same issue with the sidekick 3. It stopped charging. I bought a new battery and a new charger and guess what? It still didn't charge. Save money on all of those items and just get a battery charger. It will save you money, aggravation and your precious time. Get it on ebay...Mac

I had the same exact problem with mine. I had to buy a new battery and a desktop charger from ebay. It seems that the battery goes so far dead that it won't even allow you to charge it using the phone. So you have take it out of the phone and put it into a separate charger give it a little time and it will come back to life.

Unfortunately, it is not always the battery. My phone's battery died and the phone is now dead, permanently. The AC adapter doesn't charge the phone or allow it to power on. Something in the phone is "stuck". The phone will boot into the bootloader, but that's it. We cannot flash the phone at all. Sorry, but there doesn't appear to be a fix for this problem and Motorola isn't interested in helping. Good luck!!

My phone turns on and off and on and off. It tries to boot up but then turns off. I have taken the battery out, the sim card, recharged. It seems to be caught in a loop.

I used my phone to make a video, which it successfully did, then put it in my pocket as usual and only about 5 minutes later I took it out of my pocket and it was completely dead. By coincidence I had checked right before I made the 30 second video and I still had 60% of my battery. My phone now has no sign of power. There are no lights at anytime, the lights do not come on when I try to charge and the phone will not come on at all when I have it hooked up to the charger. Any suggestions?

My phone died. Bought a new battery. The phone would come on but not charge. Tried using the data cable to charge. Same thing..phone comes on but does not charge. The guy I bought it from on ebay won't replace it or do anything. I have only had this "new" phone for three months. Although after a little research, I found out that it was probably manufactured in 2004!!!
Any ideas??
