Hi,
I just recently had to have my charging port resoldered into my Motorola because it finally failed and ended up coming out of the phone housing on the charger connector. Prior to that, the phone was connecting to the charger, and I had two I was using. One in my car and one in the house. After I the port fell out, and until I could take it to a phone fixer, the workaround was I was charging and swapping out batteries with a Motorola Blur. What was weird is that both phone housings look identical; however, the older phone would pick up both chargers, and my Defy would not.
After they soldered in a new charging port a couple of days ago I left with clear assurance that everything was working great, and charging was a-go. Mmmhmm. On my way back home, which was an hour from the repair place, and tried to hook it up to the charger in my car. Still not charging. When I called the repair place they suggested checking it with my home charger too, once I got back home and then let them know if there was still a problem. They reassured me they had hooked up to several chargers while it was there, and all were good.
I got home, tried the home charger, and still no connection. This time when I called them back I got another person who started asking about my charger and the little lines on the underside of the metal piece that inserts into my phone. She asked if the metal tracks met the plastic on the back end of the charger itself or whether they stopped with a gap between the tracks and the plastic housing. On both my chargers I saw the tracks did NOT meet the plastic, and she said they only use Samsung chargers in their shop because it creates a better connection, and some phones need that.
Pretty sure the chargers I have were not OEM chargers for this Motorola so I am going to try to get to a place with Samsung charger so I can puzzle this out, but I am confused in that one Motorola charges and the other doesn't.
Any experience or ideas or suggestions????
