There might be something wrong with the charger or you can use a different outlet.
But if there is something wrong with the charger i would suggest to get a new one (:

Oooh, bad news. You probably got a sidekick 3 that had a bad charging port. Return for a refund if you can.
the Sidekick 3 has a charging issue thatcrops
up after awhile. It will just not charge the battery.A good way to tell
is if the orange light comes on but the phone never charges.
You
can get an external battery charger for the sidekick for about 25
dollars that will allow you to charge the sidekick 3 battery separate.
Check out the following link to see what I am talking about.
The sidekick has an issue with its charging port going bad. Do you get the orange light when you plug it in?
It about 80 dollars to get fixed or you can do a workaround for about 30 dollars.
What you need to get is a charging cradle that has a spare battery charging slot. This will you allow to charge your battery seperate from the phone. I also recommend getting a second battery so one can be charging at all times.
Here are some links for the charger and the batteries: Sidekick 3 Battery Charging Cradle New Spare Sidekick 3 Battery for Sale
Hope that helps

Most people will buy a cradle charge that has a built in spare battery charging slot. This allows you to charge the battery seprate form the phone. ?It is about 25 dollars on ebay. Its also a good idea to get a spare battery so you can have one charging at all times.
Is the orange light coming on but you have no power? If so, then it is probably not charging. The sidekick 3 charging port is notorious for going bad. The little contacts that send power to battery come loose.
Find a friend that has a sidekick 3 or sidekick ID and try out their battery. If it powers up, it is your charging port.
The easiest thing to do is to get a charging cradle that has a spare battery charging slot. They run about 25 dollars off off ebay and allows you to charge the battery seperate from the phone. A spare battery is good too as it allows you to have one charging at all times.
If you can, try a friends battery, either from a sidekick ID or sidekick 3. The Sidekick ID seems to be having the same issue as the sidekick 3 whefre the charging port goes bad. The best worka round for that is to get a charginfg cradel that has a spare battery slot.
