nokia lumia 520

mark1971uk · 28-07-2014, 08:35

hi
just wondering if anybody can help ... a mate of mine has a nokia lumia 520 the problem with it is it just wont charge (nothing wrong with the battery or charger) its defo the phone that has a problem even though a shop we went to couldnt find anything wrong with it so the question is does anybody know the cheapest phone she can buy that uses the same sort of battery as hers (BL 5J ) so she can use it to charge her nokia battery in? or does anybody know where we can buy a decent universal charger from ( the sort of charger were it charges the battery without the battery been in the phone itself)? she bought 1 the otherday but to be honest it was useless.
i hope all that ^^^ made sense

and thanks for any reply

The cheapest phone that the 520 battery can be charged in would be another 520.

A second hand one would probably be around £40-50.

Another thought, you could always get an external charger from eBay.

Eg:

take tt or send it to a nokia service centre to be repaired if its still in warranty should be free.

The warranty should be 24 months if bought in the EU.

Lidtop2013 · 29-07-2014, 07:20

Bit of a pain taking the battery cover off and putting it into a charger every time it needs charging!!

I think it's worldwide. They usually do 12 month warranty on the battery itself and 24 months on the rest of the handset.

I thought they concluded the battery and charger were ok?
