Battery not getting charged

Hi,

Few days back, I got this issue - my cellphone(Arc) was not getting charged even after prolonged hours of charging. I gave it to service guys, they said its the s/w problem. Here are the engineer remarks : SW Application Problem, Software upgrade tested ok.

But now even after the s/w upgrade, I am facing the same issue. I even asked the engineer to test my charger and they said charger is fine. Indeed it is fine, here's what exactly happening to the phone :

1) When connected to PC, the phone gets detected -> but it doesnt get charged, the battery icon at the top will indicate that its getting charged but on the contrary it starts getting discharged.

2) When connected to power-plug, there's certain limit till the phone gets charged, last time 56%, again the battery icon will indicate that the device is getting charged, but it wont.

I googled a lot on this problem and I dont see a concrete solution. My phone is under warranty and I bought it for 28K. I dont think the phone is worth it, if it has started giving problems at this stage.

Please help.

The solution is very simple.  Reinstall USB drivers of the phone and it will be fine.  The reinstallation of phone USB drivers can done by following precess:

Windows Menu bar >>

Devices & Printers>>

You wil see Icon of your phone>>

Right click 'Troubleshoot >>

Re install USB drivers..

I hope now you will be able to access your phone using PCC as usual...
