Hi Folks
The charging indicator LED is not working on my O2 Atom life. the charging works fine and the charging icon is also indicated correctly in the display, but the Charging led does not light up.
Can i change only that particular LED on the motherboard or even that LED panel.. is it available for purchase anywhere ?
The mobile is old and i dont intend to pay a fortune to get the motherboard replaced.

OK. My 838pro just started really acting up on me now. It just refuses to charge when on (even with screen turned off). The battery bar shows charging and the orange charge led is on but the battery strength is not increasing at all..... Try another battery (genuine Dopod) and still the same..........
Did soft reset 5 times already and no go........
i actually have a similiar problem.. the only way i can get mine to charge is if i use USB or the wall charger that came with the phone, if i use the car charger i used on my 8125/wizard then it doesnt charge, the lcd will be light but dim, and the orange light doesnt come on, nor does the battery indicator move like its charging, but this charger will still charge my 9125, and my ht820 headset.. so i know it works
Hi,
after my original battery dead, I bought and used batt from Cameron Sino. Since this time, green and blue diodes don't blink and don't light. So I tried different battery from Hongkong - no change. Now, I have original battery manufactured by Dynapack, Taiwan. I hoped, original battery would solves my problem, but there is no change again. When I turn back for my first old original battery, diodes don't work too. :-(
Is it possible, that Cameron Sino battery causes some hardware damage? Does anyone know, how to solve this problem?
P.S. Only orange diode blinks (notification) and lights (charging) well with all of my batteries...
Hi,
Just would like to solicit input and feedback. i went over to my brother's house over the weekend and connected to his internet via wifi. so as not to reconnect time and again, i left my unit connected to the internet via wifi then wall(ac power) charge while doing this. after we eat dinner, i went back to check my unit only to find out it was not charged at all. worst the temp was very high. it is only in my unit or did anybody experience the same thing? is this normal?
Well, it's not normal however was the charging led on or did you just not see an improvement in the percentage?
I'm seeing similar behaviour with my atom life. I've only had it a couple of days so I'm playing a lot and I would exoect fairly poor battery life because of that but even so it seems very short... I've noticed that when I put the device to charge in my car the charging icon shows on the today screen for a few seconds but then disappears and the battery doesn't get charged. It seems that if any wireless connection is on (even bluetooth), it doesn't charge. I'm not sure which is that charging LED? Is it a red one that lights up in the silver grille at the top?
I use a bluetooth receiver for tomtom and a bluetooth handsfree kit so I'm hoping this behaviour isn't by design...
i use atom life.

i didn't notice the led i immediately pull it out because it has gotten so hot. hottest i have notice/felt. it might damage the device due to prolong exposure to high temperature. there was no improvement on the percentage. as i have mentioned it didn't charge.
I had the "not charging with WiFi on" problem...until yesterday. Upgrading my Atom Life to the latest MWG ROM (see the Atom Upgrade forum for a how-to) fixed that right away. Now I can even charge in the cradle I bought from eBay with only a regular charger connected. Earlier it had to be connected to the PC to work, and regular chargers had to be connected directly to the Atom, not via the cradle. I'm a happy puppy!
try to change your batt.. maybe problem with batt
No, it's not a battery problem. This is a firmware problem, because I have five batteries (at times I take long ski trips without any possibilities of charging), and it was exactly the same with all of them, but with the MWG ROM I have no such problems with any of them.
Hi all.
I have problem with my T Mobile SDA music a.k.a. dopod 585 / HTC Amadeus
After upgrading to WM 6.1 by ALEUT everything going well but the charging.
When I plug the usb sync, LED indicator going amber, and battery indicator on LCD is charging , after a while (approx. 2-3 sec) LED going green and battery indicator is full, but if I disconnected the usb cable, battery indicator return to real state (half full on my case). It's going the same with the USB charger.
I've tried to drown the battery, still the problem persist.
FYI, I have 2 battery and resulting same problem.
Anyone could help me with this please...? Solution or suggestion would be very appreciated.
Regards
Hi !
I searched already around the forum, but I didn't find anything for my problem:
Yesterday my device turned off because of low battery (while listening music), then I tried to charge it with the original charger over night. Today in the morning the device was not charged but the amber/organge LED was blinking.
When I put on the charger the red led turns on, after a few seconds the amber led starts blinking then after a few minutes the led turns again red an then again blinking amber and so on ...
I can boot up Windows mobile bu after a few secounds the deivce turns off an then again red led an blinking amber ...
I did a softreset and a hardreset but still no charging.
I tried another battery from a neighbour, the device works fine, but still a blinking amber led (not always-on) when connect on the charger.
Can anybody help me ?
Sorry for my bad english ..
Have you tried using your friend's phone charger?
The problem has been discussed. It is known as the RLOD (Red light of Death) and is reported against many different phones and brands. It is likely a fault in:
1
The phones charging circuit
OR
2
A faulty battery
OR
3 A faulty USB port (bent pin or cracked solder joint)
OR
4
A cracked solder joint between the battery connector and m/board
In my experience it is most likely to be a faulty (stuck) charging circuit.
The following link may be useful, and it is worth persevering. I once had a phone that took several days to get started again:

@gypsygirl: I tried two different chargers which are working fine which another device (xda neo)
@mikechannon:
I think its a problem with the charging circut or the usb port (otherwise the data connection works when connected to the pc).
I tried the battery from my friend with 90 % battery left and put on the charger and ist doesn't start charging, only blinking amber ...
I guess I will buy an external cradle for charging the battery, not the best way, but so i can use the device ...
When there is any solution for a cracked charging circut, i will try it out ...
Thanks for help
