Yeah you've messed it up pretty good, it looks like you messed up the charging mechanism/battery connection.
take it into a Verizon store see what they can do, hopefully you're still under warranty
I would strongly suggest the good old battery 'hard reset'...
1.) Turn off laptop 2.) Unplug it from power supply 3.) Hold down the power button for a minute 4.) Plug it back into the power supply 5.) Power it on and wait to see if the battery icon is showing up and charging
This has resolved a few of these ghost battery issues on some of my clients laptops! If that fails, please provide the exact model number of the Gateway laptop and which operating system you're using and we'll see if we can't find another fix.
The white screen is a very common thing with LG phones. It is not caused by anything you did, it's just a faulty phone, and unfortunately there's nothing you can do to fix the problem. If your phone is under a year old, it is still covered under warranty and can be replaced through a local Verizon Wireless Retail Store, or if you call customer service, they will ship you out a new one (free of charge, of course) 1-800-922-0204.
Thanks for the reply, however, I just called Verizon. The girl tried getting it to work using *228, but it did not help. The closest Verizon store to us is 1 1/2 hrs. away in Las Vegas. We will be traveling to family for the holidays so I plan on going into a direct Verizon store and try to get it replaced at no charge. The girl reactivated my old cell phone.
Unfotunately, this is a common problem. The first thing you should do is take it to the Verizon store(or someone else with the same charger) and ask them to try a charger. Hopefuly you can just buy the new charger. If this isn't the case, and normally it isn't, you will have to buy a new phone or dish out the 50$ for insurance if you have it. The problem is that you broke the charge port in your phone. Samsung considers this to not be under warrenty. The Verizon store cannot do anything for you. Hope this helped.
Here's a suggested fix. It worked on my K1m. Maybe it will work on yours.
First off, get the latest version of MotorolaSoftware Update. Then, put the phone in bootloader mode by pressing and holding the * and # buttons while the phone is off and then turn it on while you remain holding the * and # buttons. If the bootloader starts, you'll see a motorola logo on a blue background. Once you have that screen, plug the phone into your PC with the usb cable, open and run Motorola Software Update. It should run through the update process and fix the problem. Good luck!
I had to return mine to the Verizon store and they gave me a new one.
This is what happened. I just received the phone from the mail brand new from the Verizon Wireless online store. However, I forgot to charge the battery when i turned it on to activate it. I did start charging it soon after though, and I dialed the *228 and hit 1 to program it. I turned it off, but I tried to turn it on later, and it wouldn't turn on. I let it charge over night, but still I was anble to turn it on. I'm thinking whatever programming was done killed the phone. When i went to the store, they put a new battery and it still wouldn't turn on. So they gave me a new phone.
I am having a simuler problem. I bought my Razr V3 the 1st week of Dec of 2004. in less than 3 weeks I started having problems. I live in Western Okla. and Dobbson is my provider. When I bought my V3 Dobbson said that there was no insurance that I could buy to protect it but, that they use a compainy that for $35 will advance exchange a phone while the broken 1 is being fixed. The compainy sent me my new phone back 17-Jan-06. phone worked great! For about 4-6weeks that is. I called the repair compainy again and they told me that my waranty had expired. So I lived with the trouble I was having(check SIM)for almost 1 year. I found that by putting paper between the SIM card wire retainer & SIM the problem was deminished. Around the 1st of 2007 the phone started having more problems. Locking up, screen going blank (white), & turning itself off. I contacted the Dobbson and they gave me a new repair compainy to contact. I sent my Razr to them expecting to receive the phone back in working order. They received my phone on 6 Feb 07 and they sent it back on 7 feb 07 for the reason that my phone was out of warrenty. I went to motorola.com and put in my phones ID # and was told that the warrenty had expired on 2 Feb 07. Later I found out that the 1st and 2nd repair compainy were both the same compainy. The same compainy that had told me my phone was out of warrenty approximently 1 year earlyer. I have sent a letter to Motorola about this problem and that was over 2 weeks ago and havent heard anything from them (motorola). I also called the repair compainy and after not receaving any help from the lady that answered the phone so I ask to speak to the supervisor. I was transfer to the supervisors voice mail, so I left a message. And of course I have not received any communication from that supervisor eather. Don't know what else to do. Anybody haveing simuler problems? What did you do?
Thanks
Gregg
