[Hidden-tech] Alcatel cellphone question

[Sam McClellan]

Hi Marcia,

If it works while plugged in but then dies when you unplug it, I would 
suspect that the battery is dead, there are lots of places that can 
replace a dead cell phone battery - usually one or two in the malls, or 
just do a search for cell phone repair. The trick will be finding one 
that has your battery, and if it will be cheaper to replace the battery 
than replace the phone.

Sam

When I plug it in, various lights and icons come on and it appears to be charging, but when I later unplug it, it's dead.
