Nokia E71 - Charger Keeps Falling Out

[ Edited ]

Hi I am new here so I'm not 100% sure if I am posting in the right place, so excuse me if I am in the wrong section.

 

I currently have a black Nokia e71 and my charger (genuine nokia) recently has started falling out making it near enough impossible to charge whilst using the phone in my hand (I am addicted to my phone, lol).

I have to put the phone on a flat surface like anyone would do, but apply a tv remote over the cable keeping it in a firm position for it to charge. The charger is really awkward with me and it is very annoying I was wondering if there is a solution to this?

 

Thanks for reading

Is it falling off from the AC Mains outlet ? If so, is the plug points fitting properly in the Socket ? Are you using different outlet if the problem started recently or are the Pins on the charger damaged ? Have you tried another adaptor so that the charger snugs properly ?

Unfortunately this sounds as if the 2mm battery charger socket on your E71 is now damaged, as there is small ring indentation near end of charger pin which is retained by wire spring inside socket of device. A trip to a Nokia Care facility would now seem indicated to replace this component.

@farby The part that falls out is the pin on the charger, I plug it into my phone and if the device is moved around it comes out very easily, no matter what charger.

@aspergerguy
I thought so as I've tried many chargers and they all fall out :smileysad: where would be my closest Nokia Care facility, I live in the UK.
