My keyboard currently is in a state of extreme retardation, so I just use the virtual (our contract is up soon, so its not worth replacing for a fourth time). Mrs.Alien's 'droid will not charge in her truck, but will charge in my truck. My 'droid will charge in either (albeit slowly), so we know her DC jack and cord are good.

The back cover pops off (there's a little notch at the top, just pull back on it gently with a fingernail and run another fingernail or guitar pick or something around the edges to unsnap everything). You'll find the battery, SIM card, and microSD slot under there. That being said, I'm on my third 'Droid...first one completely crapped out (Verizon guy's initial response on seeing the phone was "woah. That's toast."). Replacement arrived and the speaker didn't work. Replacement's replacement arrived and has worked fine. Occasionally I'll notice that it'll charge overnight, but stop at 60%, so I'll have to unplug it and plug it back in when I get up and hope that it hits 100% by the time I head out for work. They're finicky little critters, that's for sure.RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35333449.post-87577577510221357822013-02-26T08:42:53.127-05:002013-02-26T08:42:53.127-05:00The battery is non-accessible in the Droid.

That would reset anything within the phone that controls the charging circuit . . .<br /><br />Just a thought.eiaftinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595068743383767561noreply@blogger.com
