Why won't it charge?

My blue life 8 won't charge. The charging port looks fine. When I plug it in the charger . it will grab charge for 1 second. And then won't charge at all.

i have had mine for less than a month and having the same issue

There are a few things that it could be. As others have said, it could be the battery, charge port, or cable. On mine, however, it was the charge circuit on the motherboard. Mine was refurbished, so it didn't have a warranty. So I opened it up and saw that the solder work was supremely sub par. There were about 3 or 4 diodes that were far enough away from the solder pad, that they eventually lost connection. It could have been from the board flexing or from heat. Either way, I added a big solder blob to anything that wasn't perfectly centered and it worked again. I am actually thinking about trading mine in for something else.

I've had my phone for over a week now....everything was fine until it went completely dead..…now its not coming on at all

I had one that I had to return after only 3 weeks. It went dead and would not take a charge. Now the 2nd one I have is not charging completely and loses it's charge fast when taken off the charger. This happens whether I'm using the phone or not. On youtube I found a video that said to try cleaning the port. I'm in the process of trying to carefully do this. Actually it feels like the port may somehow have become loose. I think it has a few problems going on with the port as well as the battery.
