PC Charger/Nokia 1100
Hi,
I've got a Nokia 1100 (stop sniggering at the back ) and today I bought a PC charger for it from the pund shop (I know what you're thinking, but hear me out ).I plugged it in the USB port, and into my phone, but the "Not Charging" message appeared. So, I tried an old Nokia 3310 (which uses the same mains charger) and it worked. Can anyone think of a reason why it doesn't work with my 1100? (It was only £1 so not a major issue, but it would be good to get it working, to save having to scramble around for a mains outlet!! )Thanks

I had this message before, when the plug wasnt in properly, either in the phone or computer, just check that.

It seems secure enough at both ends. It beeps once in a "nice" pitch (like it normally does when a charger is put in) then beeps in a "not so nice" pitch and comes up with the warning.

They only work with the older phones 3310/8210 etc Something to do with the output voltage that they provide. The newer Nokias need more power, and hence won't charge from USB.

![]() Oh well - it was only £1. I'm sure I'll find someone who can use it. |

Maybe it would work if plugged into a *powered* USB hub rather than relying on the PC's USB sockets to be on spec.
(if it makes you feel any better, I also have an 1100 - It does everything I want a mobile phone to do *plus* it has a built-in torch ).
