Hi Guys,

just a quick one, my cigarette lighter doesn't seem to be working? Well it doesn't charge my phone anyway.

when i plug into it the light on the charger itself comes on, but not power to the phone. (and before it comes up, its not a fault with the phone cause its brand new lol)

Had the same issue with my 202. Never dug deep enough to resolve it. The same cigarette lighter socket ran my Tom Tom OK though.

My mobile was and is a Nokia 3310. It charges fine from my 124s.

Probaby dirty contacts, making any significant power imposdible, but enough to light the led?

yeah the LED lights up, but no power through the charger. Any ideas of an 'easy fix' as such if it is just dirty?

Test the charger and phone in another car to see if the result is the same.
Also, rotate the charger plug, this might improve the contact with the cigar lighter.
