In the ideal world that would mean the charger is ~~~~ed.
But I doubt it will be that easy.
Worst case is a buggered charge port, not uncommon in blackberrys, an external charger & second battery will have it working.... if you can live with having to change the battery every day.Canker

It can still happen. USB cables are usually a little more substantial than the chargers. It's possible that the USB cable manages to keep the port legs in contact with the board, where the charger connector is pants & just causes more damage.
But on the other hand, the seller could be a moron.Canker

if you want to get a cheap blackberry then just buy one with a white screen and put new one in or a fualty keypad it defo looks like the charger is at fault as the usb uses same pin out for usb and mains no difference same voltage so its the chargerComment
