Hi all

When I took the phone out of my pocket it was switched off, tried to switch it on again and I only get a white screen then it goes blank and the backlight stays on for a while. It's also not charging, tried a different battery and it does the same, so that's not the problem.

Any help on this? :confused: I'm really not keen on sending it in for repairs...
 
try giving ur fone the 3 finger treatment ... hard format ... how u do it :
first swithc off phone, then hold *, 3 & call (green) buttons down and dont let go.... while still held, power on ur device, and still hold until u see "formatting" or nokia logo ... but jus remember u'l lose all ur data/apps so use at own risk .....
 
Tried that already with no luck... :( Any more ideas guys? The phone is about a year and 2 months old and never been dropped hard enough to cause any damage.
 
did u try taking out the sim, then trying the hard format?? mite as well takeout ur memory card as well and try hard format ....
 
Nope but I am also having kark with my one, dead pixels and a snapped sim card catch, TBO I'm not impressed with how fragile these phones are. Nokia better catch a wakeup with their build quality.
 
if all else fails, take to Nokia care ... to fix is usually free if its within ur 2 year warrantee period, and so long as u havent tampered physically with the phone, no water damage, etc .... ur software is probably corrupt ...

I have seen memory cards cause the handset to fail booting but you'd usually get to the Nokia logo at least! 99.9% chance its a firmware issue, not something you can resolve yourself.
 
Took the memcard out, still the same problem, so I don't think that's the problem. Going to take it in on saturday, hopefully someone can sort it out for me.
 
So I took it to Nokia care in Somerset West last Saturday. They called me on Tuesday telling me they found traces of liquid damage...:confused:
I think I would've known if I jumped into a pool with my phone in my pocket?!?!?! Not worth arguing with them, they are suppose to be the experts. Imho I think they just don't know what's wrong with it.
Going to take it to one more cellphone repair guy for another opinion.
