Charging Faults

Charging faults are mainly of three types· No charging· Not charging· Auto charging

No charging:

 In this fault a mobile phone does not charge at all when charging pin is inserted nothing happens it is
always due to damaged fuse. Or broken charging supply track if we repair fuse or jumper broken tracks
we can set this fault off. But on the first step I am telling you how to check no charging fault. · Check
Your battery if it is not connected properly no charging fault occurs.· check continuity between charging
pins it should be nor full nor high resistance. if it is showing full continuity then there may be some
problem in your charging IC may it is totally short you can re hot /replace this IC.· if there is no continuity
in charging pins 90% fuse is damaged. You can replace fuse or jumper it. If a fuse shows full continuity in
millimeter then it is working correctly if it is not so it is damaged. · If fuse is not damaged you can check
tracks if broken. · if fuse, battery and tracks are ok then charging IC would be damaged.

Not charging:

In this fault a mobile phone shows a message "Not charging" on the screen whenever it is
connected with charging pins. This type of fault is not a mere hardware fault it is 90% software fault.
This fault is present only in nokia and I personally experienced a problem with a nokia 3100it was
showing "Not charging" I tried hardware solutions but totally in vain so I upgraded my software now
everything was ok. . And this isthe same case in many types of nokia brands you can check this up. Only
nokia 1100 when "Not charging" fault comes it is very hard to remove this fault in nokia 1100 I only
repaired a little number of nokia 1100displaying this message there was a problem in charge connector
diode next to charging fuse. but often it can be solved by repairing software or upgrading it.

Auto Charging:

 In auto charging a phone continues showing charging despite of removing charging pin from phone. in
this type of fault the "BSI" pin of mobile phone is very important because it is used to tell the phone
what is the state of mobile phone charging now so if this pin is not ok this fault occurs. · there are some
cases in which a mobile phone battery is ok but auto charging is present you can check transistors if
used in charging section and if faulty replace it because this transistor is used in some mobile phones to
cut off charging from phone automatically. in· In some cases a resistance in charging section is
responsible for that which is marked as "R22" in charging section so you can check "+" supply
connection with this.
