Huawei Union Troubleshooting

The Huawei Union will not charge when plugged into a charger or begins losing charge faster than previously observed.

Check to see if there is any visible obstruction in or around the charging port, such as dirt or lint. Try to wipe the area with a soft cloth or blow air into the port to remove any debris that may interfere with charging the phone.

Attempt to charge another device with the same charger, If the other device does not charge, then try using another Micro-USB charger.

If you have eliminated the charger cord as the cause of the problem, the charging port itself may be faulty. To replace the Micro-USB charging port you must replace the phone's motherboard. To do so, follow this guide.

The battery could also be the cause of the issue. To replace the battery, follow this guide.

The Huawei Union will not power on when the power button is pressed.

The phone's battery may be completely drained or does not have enough power to turn on the phone. If the phone begins charging normally, its battery was just low on power. Otherwise, the phone's charging port, charging cord, or the battery may be faulty. You may refer to the troubleshooting heading Phone Won't Charge or Loses Charge Quickly for these issues.
