I just bought a new cell phone battery and my phone doesnt turn on. What could it be?

Answers:

Ummmm charge it? dur! Hey Ashtray...

It may very well need to be charged first. Depending on the manufacturer and the number of orders they are trying to fill, your battery may not have gone through a "courtesy" charge at the factory.

It may also be a dud. Will the retail location where you purchased the battery let you return/exchange it for another one?

The last thing that comes to mind is a physical or electrical problem with your phone. Did your last battery die a long, slow death in that over time it simply held less and less of a charge, or was it a sudden, unexpected death? If it was a sudden death, you may have an issue with your phone. The fine folks where you bought your phone should be able to run a quick test on it for you so that you will know exactly what you are dealing with.

Good luck! I hope it isn%26#39;t anything serious!
