Help - W810i faulty after charging up.

My W810i has not been charging properly for last couple of charges. Sometimes it would not start the charging cycle at all.

I normally do full overnight charges. The last time it charged fully but now when switching on it only stays on for 10-20 secs - even managed to make a call before either just dying or power cycling itself. Is this normally the battery or is it something more serious?

Any help would be appreciated.

I was cleaning it with one of them KFC towels for phones from work - but I wouldnt classify that as wet - just moist......gonna try a friends battery otherwise looks like an upgrade is due :mad:

Just an update - went to couple of repair shops both advised phone needs reflashing - £25 -£30. Checked with CPW where I got phone - Sony do 2 year limited warranty (ie not battery etc). Phoned up and freepost to repair centre - return within 10 days sorted.....
