Help I9000 Charging Problems

I

Lurker
Hi,

As the title suggests I am having a problem with my Samsung I9000 (galaxy s). I am unable to initate charging of the phone either through the mains charger or through USB to my Laptop. I do not know whether it is purely a Hardware fault or a software glitch, and i wish to know whether you guys can help me out.

A few noteworthy details, when i turn the phone off and remove the battery and then insert the microusb from the charger or the PC cable the phone turns on without me pressing any buttons (yet still does not charge). Also a few days ago i updated to froyo 2.2.1, yet i have charged since then and copied files between my pc and phone.

Another software note is that i installed a few apps (adw launcher - free version (and several themes) - [I uninstalled that very recently trying to backtrack yet no-luck], beautiful widgets and a few non-apps).
 
It looks like you need a new battery.If the phone turns on but does not charge it is a battery issue.
 
I should note that when i plug in the usb cable i cannot even access kies, maybe the connector at the top. (i could return it to the store i bought it from but i don't want to be without my phone for however-long-it-takes-them to fix it - or eventually replace it).
 
I have a similar issue with my Samsung Galaxy S i9000. It is not charging when I have it plugged into the wall or my computer. It will charge when I'm using my car charger. I am certain that it isn't the charger since i have used multiple different cords to attempt to charge it from the wall plug in as well as my computer.

On occasion I can get it to charge only if I insert the usb plug-in part way into my phone.
I have taken my phone apart and haven't found anything visibly wrong with the usb port I haven't inspected any further than that, and I am considering changing the battery to see if that is the issue

Feedback on potential problem with the phone?
