My Gta02s wont charge

[steve]

I havent placed a different battery in the phone. Will do that. I tried
running without the battery.
No joy. But I am pretty sure micheal and I tested that before on the other
phones we got.

Maybe I did get a flakely phone.

Hi Steve,

How are you determining that it is the battery not getting a charge as
opposed to the phone not powering up? Are you placing another battery in the
phone and that one works? Maybe the battery is charging but the phone will
not power up. Can you see a device instantiated on the laptop when you plug
in the phone? Are you holding the power key down for a long time or just
pushing and quickly releasing? You do not need a battery to run the phone.
It will run off USB power.
