    Mobile Strange
AI Thread Summary
A mobile phone is experiencing issues where it won't turn on after charging unless the battery is removed and reinserted. Similar problems are reported with a laptop, which runs fine while plugged in but locks up when the charger is reconnected. Users suggest experimenting with different charging scenarios, such as turning the phone off before charging. It is also recommended to consult OEM forums or contact customer support for potential solutions. These issues may stem from grounding problems or differences in electrical potential.

I have a mobile that i only keep for emergencies, the strange thing is, it will not turn on after a recharge, i have to take the battery out and and put it back in, then it works fine
any ideas why this happens?

not sure, but i have a similar problem with my laptop computer. as long as the charger is plugged in, it's fine. if the charger becomes unplugged, it's still fine. plug the charger back in with the computer running, and the darn thing locks up. i suspect the ground on the charger may be floating up and the difference in potentials causes an error when you plug them back together, but it's just a guess.

you could play around with different scenarios like turning the phone off before you plug it into the charger, then back on after or before you unplug it.

Perhaps a call or email to them might help. Sometimes there are specific OEM forums on the net which can be very assistive if they have a website.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
