  4. Check Voltage of the Battery Connector using a Multimeter. Voltage must be 1.5 to 3.7 DC Volts.
  5. If there is no voltage in the connector then check track of the charging section. Refer to the diagram of the particular model of the mobile phone. Books with track diagrams are easily available in the market. The same can also be searched on the internet.
  6. If the problem still not fixed then check Fuse, Coil and Regulator – one by one. Change if required.

  8. Lastly Heat, Reball or Change the Power IC.

Important Note

  • If the phone shows “NOT CHARGING” then change the Battery and check. If the problem is not solved then remove the charging regulator (no need to change it).
  • If the problem is still not solved then change the R22.
  • If the problem is not fixed then remove the two SMD capacitor above the Battery Connector (No need to change).
  • If the problem still persists then change the Charging IC.
  • If the Phone Shows “FALSE CHARGING” then use a 3.6 Volt Zener Diode and do Direct Charging.

Mobile Phone Battery Not Charging FAQs

First, try using a different charger or cable to see if that resolves the issue. If not, try cleaning the charging port with a toothbrush or a small brush. You can also try restarting your phone or performing a software update. If none of these solutions work, you may need to replace your battery or have your phone serviced by a professional.

The time it takes to charge a mobile phone battery varies depending on the battery capacity and the charger's output. Generally, it takes around 1-2 hours to fully charge a smartphone battery with a standard charger. However, some fast-charging technologies can charge a phone in as little as 30 minutes.

Yes, a bad charger can damage your mobile phone battery over time. Cheap, knock-off chargers may not provide the correct voltage or amperage required by your phone, leading to battery damage or even a fire hazard. It is always recommended to use a charger provided by the phone manufacturer or a reputable third-party charger.

There are several ways to extend your mobile phone battery life, such as reducing screen brightness, turning off unused features like Bluetooth and GPS, and closing background apps. You can also enable power-saving mode on your phone, which limits certain features to conserve battery life. Additionally, avoid using your phone while it is charging, as this can generate excess heat and harm the battery.

    • Xioami keeps Backup of your Data with your Mi Account. Did you create your Mi Account with this Phone. If, Yes, then Log-in with the Same Account in any of your New Xioami Phone and then you can get the Data Back. You must also check with some Good Local Technician. I am 100% Sure they will Fix it.
