Orange SPV m3100 not charging

Hi,
I have Orange SPV. It was working fine. I cannot charge it anymore. As soon as I attach the powe cable, the red led turn On and then die again. When I had some power, i was able to syn it to my computer which shows that the connector is right.

any ideas as I can't use it anymore :(

    I seem to have trouble charging in the car. It charges from the mains ok, and sometimes from usb plugged into the computer, but when plugged into the car it just won't charge, yet using exactly the same cabling my e650 charges fine.
    I've even got a replacement m3100 on Orange insurance (as it had other issues, like locking up a lot) and the replacement seems to have the same issues.
    It seems the m3100's mini usb point loosens with time, and cables can fail to get a good connection but it does not explain the issues I have been having.

I had the same problem and it may be because the phone doesn't charge when it is turned off i have a mda vario which is very simmilar and i diddn't charge when turned off stupid really.
I got it working by taking the battery out and cut off the small end of a normal usb lead i.e. big usb to small. strip the wires and there should be a red and black wire, posative and negative the red posative and the black negative.
attatch the red wire to the posative metal strip on your phone and the black to the negative strip on your phone, it should say on your phone by the battery or on the battery which side is posative and negative. turn on your computer and plug the usb lead in and then insert the phone battery making sure that none of the wires touch any of the other strips on your phone let your computer load and press the on button at the top of the phone for 2 secs and wait it should turn on and charge.
wait for 10 or so minutes making sure the phone is charging, then plug your charger for your phone in and at the same time remove the usb lead and wait for the battery to charge before taking the wires out of the phone.

Phone not turning on

first use the wall charger and see if the problem is not your battery in the phone. if the problem still exists, then uninstall and reinstall the driver for phone in the computer. if the problem still exists then you have a bad usb cable. please rate this thanks

Display disappeared of orange spv m3100

sounds like your backlight brightness is turned all the way down. this happens automaticlly on my windows 5 mobile device when the battery is almost dead and when i recharge it it stays this way. if you take and turn it from side to side you can see a faint outline of the windows under a bright light go start settings and adjust the backlight brightness up this should resolve your problem
