I've also used other cords. Nothing appears to work. Not sure why.</P> Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:02:05 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/z-series/ultra-not-taking-a-charge-from-the-computer/m-p/3117161#M8667 nomad737 2013-09-16T08:02:05Z https://community.sony.ua/t5/z-series/ultra-not-taking-a-charge-from-the-computer/m-p/3117162#M8668 <P>Is your phone detected when you plug it to the computer?</P> Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:05:24 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/z-series/ultra-not-taking-a-charge-from-the-computer/m-p/3117162#M8668 gwhispererz 2013-09-16T08:05:24Z https://community.sony.ua/t5/z-series/ultra-not-taking-a-charge-from-the-computer/m-p/3117163#M8669 <P>It was being detected but not light came on.</P><P>Someone on a different post mentioned holding the volume up key and the power key to solve a different issue so I tried it here because.......why not.

Is this is the way they will response to the customer why bought this mobile for INR 44000/- I lost hope in Sony products.</P> Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:31:55 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/z-series/ultra-not-taking-a-charge-from-the-computer/m-p/3117165#M8671 Sunmoorthy 2013-09-16T13:31:55Z https://community.sony.ua/t5/z-series/ultra-not-taking-a-charge-from-the-computer/m-p/3117166#M8672 Hi Sunmoorthy, I suggest you perform a software repair with PC Companion first. As for battery performance, this should improve after several charging.
