Nokia 105 4G Battery Issues

If the battery in your Nokia 105 4G drains abnormally fast or it fails to charge, this page may offer a solution to the problem.

The Nokia 105 4G uses a Series 30 operating system, so apps generally close automatically when returning to the home screen or opening a new application. To close an app, press the Red End Call key and return it to the home screen. To restart the phone simply press and hold the End call/power key (red button) until the menu appears with “Switch off“. Press that key and your phone will restart.

Test the phone charger on another compatible device. If the charger does not work with other devices, assume that the charger is damaged and is no longer working.

You will need to replace the charger.

Safety Warning: If there is debris or lint blocking your charging port is important to make sure you are not forcing your charger into the port. If there is a severe buildup and the port is plugged in, the lint and debris can catch on fire, so you want to make sure you remove all the debris before further testing charge.

Turn off the phone: Power off your Nokia 105 4G entirely to prevent short circuits.

Inspect the interior: Look for compacted lint, dust, or sticky residue, particularly around the central connector pin.

Test the fit: Gently plug in your charger. If it feels "spongy” or loose, or does not click into place, it is likely debris blocking it.

Safety warning: Always shut down the phone and unplug it before removing the back cover.

To check the battery, remove the back cover and inspect the battery for swelling, leaking, or residue. A damaged battery can appear rounded, show corrosion on the metal contacts, or cause the phone to overheat, experience sudden shutdowns, or experience short battery life. If your phone is experiencing these symptoms, please review the What to do with a swollen battery guide to help you.
