Motorola Droid not charging

[Boohya]

this might already be posted somewhere but i couldnt find it.

I have had this phone for awhile and had no problems what so ever. Last night as always i plug my phone in to charge. Everything normal, this morning full charge and good to go.  by the time i get to work my battery is completely drained. (15 min to get to work) 

well plug my phone in at my desk and the light comes on (charging) 5 min later its off and not charging, took out the battery, re-insert it and back to charging again. Nothing, no light, no charge. tried another plug and still not charging?

Now my battery is completely dead and doesnt charge? any idea's, thoughts that i might try to charge my phone?

Has anyone have the same issue? if this is a repeat post I appolagize!

First off, are you plugging the phone into a wall charger or through the usb of a computer?

I recharge straight from a wall jack, or a power strip. I can not plug into a computer or pc etc. my work will not allow it for security reasons.

Well, that has eliminated that possibility. Bad battery? Can you try a different battery and see if it charges correctly? Are you using the same charger for both home and office? Could you also try a different charger?

Anyone else?

Thanks ann, that was it.... The receiver or black little box that plugs into the power strip seems to be the problem, (usb)cable seems fine, switched to blackberry power jack and tried my wifes droid charger and seems to work fine. Guess ill end up getting a new one. Thanks again ann
