Do I need a new battery?

Question

My boy has a Virgin Mobil cell phone, and lately when you try to turn it on, the screen just flashes on and off, like, every 8 seconds, and doesn't come on. It still does it when you plug it in to the charger, too. Is it worth buying a new battery, and trying it, or just get a new one? $100 phone!

Answer 1

since i work in this field.........my guess is it's a bad phone........ call the warranty on it....... if it doesnt have one, then just get him a new phone...... and tell him to keep it out of the water! lol

Answer 2

i would give a new chance to my virgin Mobil cell phone
it needs experience

Answer 3

if it ran by itself fine while plugged in to an electical source before you had the problem then you should replace the phone.

Answer 4

Is it still under warranty? If it is , I would take it back to where you bought it.

Answer 5

Try this first!

Answer 6

get a new phone.... it is cheaper....
