Panasonic G520 mobile phone - dead battery or dead phone?

Jul 18, 2005 1 Replies

I bought a Panasonic G520 Mobile Phone a few years ago - I have always suspected the battery was had it, even from new.



When I charge the phone, the battery shows a full charge and will stay turned on in standby for hours - but when I try to dial a number the phone switches off as if the battery is flat, even though the charge is showing full bars. If I plug the charger in instead and then dial, the phone works fine.



I was thinking of purchasing a new battery but I'm not sure now... We've hardly ever used this phone - we wouldn't have even made an hour of calls on it - but I don't want to throw good money after bad either.



Anyone have any ideas how to find out if the fault is with the battery or the phone itself?

I had a case on a nokia where the contact module made bad contact with the circuitry. Cleaning the contacts fixed the phone. No idea if your phone also has a seperate piece with contacts.
