Hello All,
I know I have read many posts here and there regarding battery issues on this phone. I just have not read any definitive solutions.
Symptoms:
Stock Moto USB cable to PC = solid white light - white light turns on when plugged in, and white light turns off when unplugged.
Stock Moto USB cable to stock Moto wall adapter = white light blinks once, then straight to the red M logo. Will never leave the red M logo unless unplugged.
When at the red M logo, if I press power + Vol Down, the red M goes away for a short period (~4sec), then back to the red M logo (reboot?).
When phone is "rebooting" after the above process, but before the red M re-appears, if I press power + Vol up + Vol down, I get the "Boot Mode Selection Menu"
If I chose AP Fastboot I get a display that tells me battery low, cannot program, Connect USB data cable.
The phone will sit at this menu selection indefinately. Will the phone charge in this state?
I believe the battery is DEAD and that is that is causing my issue, but I don't know how to resolve it.
From what I have read, I think I need to dissassemble and connect old stripped USB cable to the battery terminals for ~30 minutes.
Is that the solution at this point, or is there another way to get it to charge?
When connecting the old USB cable, red lead to + and black lead to -... ?
Thanks for helping...
David
