My n97 wont charge when the battery runs out but will work fine when the battery is kept alive. is it the batterys fault?

battory is bad it runs fine just altoter is runing so buy a battory and it should work fine

Have you tried replacing the battery?? If its an older phone, the battery may not take a charge anymore.

Yes! it is very possible, specs are different in none original power adapters, because it sounds like the charging circuits are working. I recommend getting the original adapter for your model.

Make sure your battery isn't fully drained. Make sure your battery has at least 3.1 V. Anything above that is good. You can check this by using a voltmeter/multimeter

If the battery is OK, make sure both of your chargers are working. Both of them can be bad. You know, there is a posiblity.

If the chargers are fine and the battery is fine, it's probably a hardware fault. Hand it over to a repair shop

The light only comes on for 3 reasons. 1 the regulator is bad and is not charging the battery. 2 the altenator is bad and is not charging the battery. 3 there is a fault in the ecm that is keeping the light on. if the battery is being kept charged up then the problem is in the ecm. You might be able to fix this by disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes. Resets the ecm. There isn't a reset for the light.

Im not sure ... what you are describing is typically a battery issue. You may have to replace your battery to overcome this problem.

Sounds like the batteries are dead.
Nine month is reasonable depending on how the batteries are use considering they are lead-acid batteries.

Lead-acid batteries get PERMANENTLY damaged when you drain them all the way. It would be better for the batteries if you only used them half way can charge as soon as possible after each and every run. They like to be kept fully charged at all times.

Dear, change your battery and get a new one it will work on then. :)

Cheers

Such issue may appear when Nokia charger adapter CA-146C is used with incompatible charger to charge Nokia N97. Currently compatible chargers for N97 with CA-146C are Nokia Travel Charger AC-4 and Nokia Compact Travel Charger AC-5.

Spangley, just plug it into your PC. If your battery needs charging, it will charge slowly simply while being connected to your computer. Nothing else to do!







Goodluck :)

try charging the battery
