Help Stuck charging at 5%?

[redraptor]

Ok so Im having a lot of trouble.

I used my razr for GPS to get to my hotel up here in Northern Va. I plugged it in and didnt pay much attention to battery life. Now that Im up here, my battery will not charge past 5%. I let it drain and shut down and now it wont even turn on. The white led turns on when plugged in, but no charge...This is a BIG problem for me because im away on business and have no way to contact my family or father...

Did you have the phone plugged into a car charger the whole trip?

Hold the screen lock button, and the volume down button for around 10 seconds. This is the same as taking out the battery on an older phone, basically resets the hardware.


Then charge using the correct wall charger, not USB from a computer.

Sounds like a broken charging port, broken charger, bad outlet, or an untrained battery meter.

Hmmm Its odd. After leaving it on the wall charger over night, it just seems to be a VERY slow charge. It is now at 70% but thats and over night charge...its odd because it was working perfectly earlier yesterday...

So it's charging very slowly, but how about the drain? Is it draining just as fast as previous?
