Hi all, I recently bought a second hand Exec without a battery
I don't want to buy a battery if the unit is faulty (there is a chance) If I plug the charger into the socket all I get is a red light
My question to all you Exec owners is- is this normal or should/will the unit work without the battery present.
Thanks in advance Grez
Hi grez
U need a batery to operate the exec when i take my battery out the same thing happens.
Hope this helps
Hi scotjen1,
To double check, if you remove the main battery and plug the charger in all you get is a red light. The unit will not power on using mains only.
If this is the case I will risk buying a battery.
Thanks for your help.

Hey,
do you know, is it possible not to charge the tablet from the dock even if they are connected?
thanks
Hello everyone!
I am having trouble charging my note.
When I plug the cable, it says that there maybe some apps open and dont let the device charge correctly.
And the device do not charge at all! it just freeze on the % that it is!
Help pleasee!!!!
Many thanks!
Turn the thing off, plug in charger, wait until it starts charging, turn it back on?
Never happened on mine though, it made me curious
I've recently bought Galaxy Note (N7000). While Charging the phone, I'm unable to receive/pickup any calls? It directly locks out and all it shows is the LOCK SCREEN.
I've browsed the web and this forum for some answer but couldn't find anything.
Could anyone of you help me please?
Thanks.

It may be a charger issue I guess.
I had the same problem whenever I charged using Nokia Charger !!
The touch screen does not respond.
May be a faulty earth issue.
Try charging at your friends house or change the charger ....
Thanks Prabhu. I shall check and will revert.
Thanks.

tried :
- car charge
- another cable
- charger via laptop
but, still the same problem.. it just doesn't let me touch the screen...
Hi,
My s5 charging port suddenly stop working . I have checked the cable charger even battery. The battery is charging fine in another s5. The problem is when I put the charger in power off mode the charging animation appears for a 1 second and then gone again like its disconnected and this keep happening again n again also there is msg in this screen in yellow set warranty bit: kernel. if any one know whts wrong with my phone please help
Hi!
Charge your battery full in other phone and try again. If you phone is able to turn on, you will be able to control whether your usb port is dead or not
try a different cable. I use a USB 2.0 Cable for charging. You may need to have the charging jack replaced. plus the screen requires specific glue if the unit is repaired
I bought a used s5 knowing it had a flaky usb port, I thought that I would replace it.
Maybe usb port was dirty and/or corroded and cover was missing so I decided to clean as best I could w/alcohol and toothpick split down the middle wrapped in tissue, alot of crap came out
Mine is now functioning 99% of the time
As for your warranty bit error idk so maybe you have a bad usb port but why would USB give a warranty error

Maybe if repair turns out to be exspensive, you can try Wireless charging?
The repair is easy just clean the port as suggested above, if that doesn't work order a new charging port its pretty easily replaceable for under $10.
As for the warranty bit that means the phone has been rooted or another ROM flashed at some point in its past. It doesn't affect anything except void the warranty, which is probably long since expired anyway.
if cleaning doesnt work then replace the usb port or do wireless charging.
seems as if the hardest part of replacing usb port would be unglueing the lcd off the frame, maybe 5 out of 10 in difficulty
I had to replace my wife's S5 charging port. I used this Youtube video as a guide. Worked like a charm.

I was too lazy, I ordered a wireless charging kit, takes a bit longer to charge but it's easier. The s5 needs either a special back cover or a receiver that goes in the back cover to work on a pad. You can also spend some money on Amazon and order an external charger and second battery and just swap them when dead. If you are already rooted or gave a custom recovery at least you don't really need the USB port

It's a very difficult operation, especially removing the lcd without cracking it.
