Sony Ericsson K550 Cyber-shot battery error then wont read sim card

I charged my phone with my brother's sony ericsson charger and when plugged in said 'Charging Error' when phone was on. I unplugged it and turned the phone off, then put it to charge as I had no other chargers. It charged a little bit over night, then I decided to leave it off. When I got my own charger back I charged it and it worked fine. A week or so later my phone has been turning itself on and off (as if rebooting, it just stops) and now when it's turned itself off and on again it's come on saying 'Insert Sim Card' even though the sim's in the phone. The sim card isn't new and has worked in my phone for a couple of years at least. I tried taking the battery and sim card out and putting them back in but the same message comes up. I really need this phone for work as I don't have a landline, so if there's a solution it would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I think the battery came with the phone, I got the phone itslef second hand so I can't be sure, but I've not had any major issues with it. My charger works fine, I think it was my brothers that came up with the error with and he has a different phone, so my mistake there. The main issue is that it's not reading my sim card at all, even though its in correctly.

    Thank you for your help, managed to get a cheap new phone and turns out the problem is with the sim card, which means I have a new one and am working on getting a new sim with my old number. :) Sorted.

Hello, Tammy, according to your explanation it looks like your device started problem after one week of charging error, if charging pin is same of your device and your brother there is no problem charging with it, for the charging error it must be happened when you didn't connect charger properly. try your device with another battery if possible, for the switching on and off it sounds me software issue, try to connect your device to pc suite and update firmware your problem will be solved. for further help post comments.

Charging error.stop charging my sony ericsson k800i

As if your using sony ericsson K800i some mobile phones as this problem as myself also faced the same problem sony ericsson mobile shows this error if you charge your mobile using connector or unsupported charges.You visit your nearest service center of sony ericsson and ask then to give branded sony ercsson charger for your mobile.After taking that charger you will not face this problem any more..your mobile is just perfect as new.Your connector or charger is having some problem with it. Charger may cost you around 300 rs. var geo_Partner = '687b82b2-54e8-44dc-93c0-87c73f39cdb0'; var geo_isCG = true;

My cyber-shot c902 wont charge anymore.why is that?

The battery may be faulty or leaking, I suggest you get a replacement & see if it works. If that doesnt work then there maybe a problem with your charger..perhaps a loose wire or fuse has gone in the plug.
