New battery fitted but not charging: what to do

If a newly fitted battery will not charge, first charge it for at least half an hour; a fully empty battery may not respond at first. Try another cable and force restart. If it still will not charge, the connector may not be seated, the battery may be incompatible or the port may be faulty.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Why will a new battery not charge?

An empty battery, a connector not seated, an incompatible part or a charging port fault can be the cause.

02

How long should a new battery wait on first charge?

If it does not respond, wait at least half an hour, then force restart.

03

How can I tell if it is the battery or the port?

If the old battery also had charging problems, the port or board is the likely cause.

Will a battery replacement delete my data?

Data is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up your data before the repair starts (backups are the customer’s responsibility).

We had a screen protector fitted, and they gave us gifts I think were worth more than the screen protector. Most of all, thank you for the friendly welcome.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
