Fixing the charging issue for the Nexus S

I don't have an Nexus S phone as I have a Galaxy Nexus.  Someone I know came to me with their Nexus S telling me that when they plug it in, it no longer charges.   I haven't seen this issue before, so I took to Google to find the answer.

Anyway, I came upon a post by MrAwesomeNL that solved the issue and figured I would share it here as it seems quite a few people have had this issue.  It also appears that it isn't just the Nexus S having the issue.

The Fix

1. Unplug the phone.
2. Remove the battery and SIM card
3. Press the power button for 10 seconds.
4. Replace the SIM and battery.
5. Plug the phone in, but don't turn it on.  Within a few seconds, you should see the charging symbol appear on the screen.
6. Once the symbol appears, turn the phone on while still plugged in.  Once booted up, you should see the charging icon on the battery.
7. Let the phone charge!

I hope this helps and special thanks for MrAwesomeNL for sharing this fix.
