Phone Not Charging

[rameez]

hi all,

today i went to sun lanka and purchased a multi phone charger which has all the suitable adaptors for popular phones, however when i put it into the cigarette adapter there is a message coming that it is not charging.........any reason why this happens.however the adaptor light is blinking and the cigarette adapter is also ok. the guy even tried another one and the result was the same...

My phone is a nokia and i can freely charge it from mains current.

anyone who has come across this ...........

Is the output voltage insufficient?

the cig lighter works fine so i assume the voltage is ok.........

No, the output voltage from the charger. Either the output jack is messed up, or the output voltage from the charger is insufficient.

maybe the charger unit you got is faulty...

I think it's better you check the unit with the sun lanka. You may have warranty for the unit. If the charger is faulty you will be able to get a replacement or at least repair.

May be a polarity issue.

That can happen if the car is positive ground vehicle such as Volkswagen beetle.

my friends tell me that if the original phone is fixed to a duplicate charger this could happen since there is an IC detector that stops it from charging.
