Extra Batteries and external charger?

[rdr78]

Anyone know where we can get extra batteries for the a780 in Chennai? I also need an external charger for the batteries.

The charging circuitry on the phone doesn't work anymore and I'm looking for cheaper ways than spending 4K to replace the mainboard to get it working.

It is the normal mini-USB. If the phone powers on I used to be able to recharge with an USB cable too.

so you can charge it by usb right...

The phone doesn't poweron because the battery is dead. And you cannot charge with USB unless it is powered on.

The charging circuitry on the mainboard is gone.. so it will not charge with USB or using the supplied charger. This is why I need to charge the battery outside the phone.

ok....i will search for a circuit and will let you know as soon i get it...don't worry we are here.......
