My friend recently gave me an old T-mobile Sidekick 3 to use (due to me messing up my old phone). He said if it works I can have it. Well so far it doesn't work. I've tried different ways of charging it even leaving it on the charger for at least twenty minutes (due to not knowing how dead the battery really is) and it still wont charge. I have no idea where the light on the phone is to indicate that it is even charging or plugged in. The phone has minor scratches on it and the battery looks brand new and there is no liquid damage to either the phone or the battery. I am at a complete loss! I gave up trying to google for answers. I don't even know any more if I even type the correct terms into the search engines. Is anyone able to help me? I'm doing the best I can to not have to purchase a new phone. I really can't afford even the prepaid ones.
