Do you think you may have gotten your phone wet? It may have gotten wet without you even realizing. I would open the battery compartment cover on the back of your phone and remove the battery. It depends on what kind of phone you have, but there is an indicator as to whether or not your phone is wet. What brand of cell phone is this?
I use long cotton swabs. You can usually get them at any pharmacy for about $3. Wet it with vinegar and rub the contacts. Don't have it dripping, that would get things inside wet. If all the crud doesn't come loose, turn the swab around and use the stick end. After you have it cleaned, use rubbing alcohol on a clean swab to remove any vinegar residue.
Normally when camera gets wet, first remove battery, use dry facial quality tissue to wipe water, keep camera in a/c so that whatsoever moisture inside camera evaporates due to low humidity in AC room for 24 hours . Take hair drier set in low heat mode holding minimum 6 inches away from camera blow warm air in battery compartment, mirror compartment, memory card slot for 2minutes each. Wait for cooling down to room temperature. Put battery switch on. It should work. Wet camera if you switching on main board get short due to flash voltage in side camera.
A wet camera should not be turned on. Remove as much water from the battery and card compartment as possible. Bury the camera in a bowl of rice for a week before trying it.
low power, bmw ecu has some code that starts shutting down systems on low power. so poor charging from the alternator to the battery.
this could also be a wet ecu tracking false codes.
i don't have direct experience with a series 5 but also check your ecu condition.
the ecu compartment is under the windshield on the passenger side on E36
you gain acess to it under the hood....
this compartment gets wet, the ecu lays on a flat surface in that
compartment.
the bottom side of the circuit board gets wet and starts corrosion.
remove the ecu, take the bottom plate off, clean the bottom of the circuit
board with alcohol and a soft tooth brush.
you should be able to see the signs of corrosion or conductive build up.
this gunk bridges solder points doing all sort s of wierd things to your
car, including false sensor readings from asc/abs controllers and other
sensors....
all the way to engine failure and worst case burnt and shorted wiring
harness.
I'm on my 3rd ecu, took me and the repair boys a few years to figure this
one out.
BTW: i would get that ecu mounted above that flat surface, use some sort
of standoff to raise it so that it is not laying in the wet.
1 bad connection at the starter motor between the alternator and the battery. i got this problem when they swapped my engine...
the other is a wet ecu and slow drain via shorted solder points from a wet bboard...

a yellow light indicator usually means that the battery is charging incorrectly could be caused fromgetting wet the whiten sticker on your battery compartment if it is red then it got wet or being dropped the only solution to this problem is to get a new battery and it should work fine after that go to ebay to get a new one cheap hope this was helpful:)
