Hi
So my honor 8x stopped charging so I got a charger from a friend then a new one, didn't work.
Thought it was the battery, got a new one didn't work. The new one works in my Huawei p smart z so the battery is fine.
Then replaced the charging port from a donor phone which was working but had a smashed screen, didn't work.
What's strange is if I leave it plugged in it'll stay on but on 0% and the red light blinks but it won't charge.
Faulty motherboard perhaps?
Thanks

Is the battery removable? tried taking it out and putting it back in after 5 mins? If this is happening to a brand new phone from the shop, you should really just go and return it instead of trying to fix it yourself...
I had the same issue with my old phone, an lg optimus one p500. I was a soldier then. The phone didn't charge at all. The very next morning when shops opened, I returned it and the problem was with the charging pins. The battery and charger was fine but pins would not draw voltage from the battery. I bet you can remove the battery, plug the charger and switch it on.
Anyway, return it to the shop without delay and demand that you get a new one.

I have this weird problem with my HTC touch pro 2...
A couple of years ago i bought 2 of these phones and i actually never used them until 2 weeks ago. (so brand new)
This, because i decided to flash them with android NAND ROM's which seemd to be working fine up until one point where i got this issue.
Some background info about the phone:
Both of them are HardSPL unlocked, have WinMo removed and instead have Anrdoid 2.3.7. installed. (which is working fine btw)
At first both of the phones seem to run fine and both of them where able to charge.
After a week of using the phones one of the phones stopped charging. (i tested some VOIP app from Aastra)
When the phone was powered on and the charger was plugged in, the Amber LED was lid but the battery was still draining... altho in the Android menu it stated "AC - adapter, Charging".
Because the charger i use is the original HTC charger which is brand new and so is the USB cable my first thought was.. well the battery could be defective since it has been in the box for some years..
At this point i changed the battery from one phone to the other to see if it would charge, but no luck still the same issue.
Then i replaced the AC adapter and USB cable with the ones from the other TP2, since that phone was charging fine...
Also no luck, the TP2 was still showing a Amber LED but did not charge at all.
After this i tried plugging in de USB cable in my PC to see if the PC would charge it, but as i expected, again no luck.
Then is switched off the phone and plugged in the AC adapter, the LED goes to Amber which indicates charging.
But now the weird thing, when i unplug the cable the LED remains amber !
And then the even MORE weird thing.... when i at this point remove the battery, wait 30 seconds and re-insert the battery the LED becomes amber right away !!
And when i trie to turn on the phone it does nothing, there is no respons at all to pressing the power button...
Just that amber LED....
Then i tried removing the SD-card and SIM, left the battery out for over an hour and tried to re insert the battery, but still the amber light goes on The AC-Adapter is not plugged in at this point !
At this point i was not sure anymore what to do, so i disassembled the phone to look if there was some bad / loose soldering on the USB plug.
But sadly enough i could not find any bad or loose soldering points, i also was not able to find any burnt or other bad looking circutes.
Then i reassembled the phone and made one last attempt to re-insert the battery, then the LED did not start to illuminate !
So for a verry short period of time i had good hopes that it was oke now... but then i plugged in the AC-adapter, the LED was amber again..
But the phone again will not turn on, and when i remove the battery and re-insert it it still shows the amber LED without the AC-adapter plugged in...
Right now i am at the point where i am not sure what to do anymore.
I was wondering if any of my fellow XDA visitors have experience with such an issue, or maybe even know a fix for this..
Some ideas to test or how to fix this are verry welcome ! :good:

I had a tp2 do something similar to this after it was hit with a power surge. Data would work, but no charging. Sadly the best suggestion at this point is to get a battery charger off ebay for like $5 and/or look for a replacement phone on Ebay/Craigslist. If the chip controlling the usb port is damaged it may work partially, and there is no way to repair it.

The chargers i got seem to be fine since i can charge my other TP2 with both of the chargers and cables.
I guess my only option is to leave it be.. cry... and move on with life...
Maybe, someone else has an other idea...

If you have a known good fully charged battery, and you can't make the phone work with it, then you sadly are probably out of luck.
That is a hardware failure, or a software failure requiring something along the lines of a jtag repair.
I was reading the text as though the phone would turn on with a charged battery, but wouldn't recharge the battery. I guess I misunderstood.
When I use magnetic charging (original charger, tried a dock and magnetic tips) the LED blinks and the charging indicator keeps flashing off/on.
Its recognising the dock for sure because it will start the daydream, but it just won't charge this way.
USB charging is 100% fine and I am using the original charger/cable. Stock latest firmware, unrooted.
I think it started around the last update - but I'm not sure....
anybody got any ideas?
I had exactly the same problem and gave my tablet to the customer service. They sent me a new tablet.
yeah sending mine in now. fingers crossed I get a new tablet back. Heck I already wiped it in preparation so might as well get a new one
Hi everyone, I got a poco f1 from a friend. He used it quite normally. The cellphone was off for about a month - it didn't work. After a month I tried to start it however unsuccessfully, poco f1 is dead, I tried to charge it but it can't. What could be a malfunction? Help if you know and thank you very much
First, try using a different charging cable and brick. If it doesn't charge, Check if it can be read using a computer or laptop. If it still doesn't work, then the issue may be the charging port. If that's the case, if you are still covered by warranty, then go to xiaomi store. If not covered, go to a proper technician.
Btw if the device can be read on a computer, then it may just be a boot issue. Just flash again.
Does the white charging led light up when it's on charge?
If not, have you tried leaving it on charge for an extended period?
I've had difficulties with phones in the past after batteries have fullly discharged - eg the Moto G5 had some battery protection "feature" that stopped it starting up if it thought the battery was fully discharged - it was a bit over sensitive so would sometimes assume the phone was fully discharged when it wasn't
Try leaving it on charge for 24 hours or so then holding down the power button for for at least 20 seconds with it still on charge
If you have no luck and the warranty is out, get to a repair shop (or disconnect and reconnect the battery if you're confident to open it up - for a while I was getting sporadic shutdowns with my F1, following which it wouldn't take any charge, the battery light staying off when plugged in. This was all fixed by tightening the screws securing the black motherboard plate, the cover which retains all the connectors - not sure why but it seemed something, I suspect the antenna connection, had come loose. Since doing this about 5 months ago I've had no further shutdowns and my phone is usable again, having been completely unreliable before)
One trick that worked on some old Nokia phones was to charge it plugged to a computer instead of plugged to a charger - but as said elsewhere, if the battery is completely dead, YMMV.
Also, try to press and hold the power button and while doing that, plug the phone to the charger and then release the power button.

I guess your battery is dead
I have same issue, however I think my one is a motherboard charging IC issue. Does anyone know a way I can get it cheap from India, as I’m in the UK. India have it for around 9999 rupees which is about £10(+international shipping). I’ve ordered a charging port replacement from AliExpress to see if that solves the problem. However I don’t think that will work. No idea how my motherboard got damaged in the first place. I replaced a cracked screen myself and the phone was working fine for a few weeks, then it stopped charging all of a sudden. My PC also detects it/can access files doesn’t charge it. A new battery powered powered on the phone but again didn’t charge. Tried different adapters and cables too. Any experts out there know whether this is a motherboard issue or just a charging port issue?
If the phone is OFF for a month, then it is probable that the battery has gone down to a point that the BMS has shut it down. The BMS won't allow you to charge the battery because, in its own assessment, the battery is dead. Best way to test this case is to have another Pocophone with a good battery (or just a new battery altogether), detach the cable from that and test on yours. This may or may not work but this is one of the easiest to test and a new battery is easy to acquire.

Before you do that, just try leaving it in charge for 24hrs as suggested above, though it does look rather as if the OP has nicked off so won't be using any of these sage words!

yep mine also. i was playing genshin impact and suddenly it freeze and off. service center said it was dead motherboards.
Hello,
firstly i m sorry if this is the wrong section, i m new here.
Now to the issue. I have a Huawei P30 Lite with broken LCD. I replaced the LCD with an original Huawei service pack which included LCD, Frame, Earpiece, Battery, buttons etc. Basically it included everything except motherboard, charging board and coaxial cable. The problem is that after the replacement the phone is not charging. At first it was showing that it was charging without any success (% going down instead of up). After the phone battery drained, there is no charging at all.
Doing a full hardware check i noticed that there was indication of water damage on the charging port. I replaced the whole charging board. Still same result.
Reinstalled the old LCD pack (battery had some juice in it still for testing) with the same results. When the phone is turned on, i get a charging signal and the LED indicator but without actual charging. When phone is turned off i dont even get the LED indication of charging.
Steps i already took to save time:
Changed the charger. Used up to 2.1A charger with fast charge cable aswell.
Changed the charging board.
Tried both new and old battery, internal connectors etc
Cleaned the whole motherboard with alcohol to get rid of any debris even though there is nothing visible
The phone was working normally before the lcd replacement.
The phone is working perfectly with the remaining battery and was working perfectly until the new battery drained aswell. Only problem is the charging.
Cannot perform cache cleaning since battery is dead
Software upgrades, reinstalling etc will certainly not be of any help since the phone is not charging when turned off.
I am trying to avoid costly and time consuming repairs since the only fault i can assume anymore is human error which most likely i would have noticed during the repair. I cant accept that the main board died suddenly after a simple 2 part replacement and the only thing affected was the one that had water indication on it which didnt affect it so far.
I am looking for any kind of ideas since i am totally out of them.
thank you for listening.
Hey, i know its 1 year later but i wanted to ask you about this. I had the exact same problem as you with a p30 lite aswell. Did you find out where was the problem? Could you fix it? Thanks
