Just got my FP2 five hours ago, but it would not turn on. (This is after 4 weeks of problems with Norwegian customs and shippers).
I have tried charging it with 4 different cables combined with three different sockets (5 if you include two computer USB ports), it still will not charge.
At first I thought it was charging, as the red light (top left corner of the screen) was lit, but after an hour it still wouldn’t turn on. After reading this and other threads I tried switching cables. On the nth combination of cable and socket the screen actually lit up! But it quickly shut back down, and continued lighting up and shutting back down as long as it was plugged in.
After trying all combinations of cables and sockets available to me, that is the closest I have gotten to a functioning phone.
Any ideas?
Update: I noticed that the screen was lighting up for a longer time when I had my FP2 in a tight grip. I tried removing the back cover and pressing the battery upwards (towards the pins) while charging. The screen kept lighting as long as I pressed. So I folded a piece of paper and wedged it as support below the battery, the phone has now been working for 2 minutes and counting… Not sure what to make of this, whether it is related to other problems or not…
