I've got a Nokia N79 awesome phone btw, went for it because I felt like an old school bar phone.

Now it has an FM Transmitter in so I always listen to music while driving around via that, yesterday I wanted to go into the music program while driving to switch the song, accidentally opened Opera Mini, but I just pressed red key to cancel it, thought nothing of it.

Then I went into the Music Player and the buttons didn't work, couldn't skip songs, I left it and continued driving and listening to the song, it kept playing etc. But the screen was stuck and didn't show the next song etc. I removed the battery to restart it, and well then it just didn't anymore.

If I plug it in, the screen goes on and it shows its charging if I press the ON button nothing happens... The phone doesn't start, the only time I can get the phone to show anything if is I plug it in to charge. It can't be the battery because then it would start while its plugged in?
 
Some of the OS boot files have probably become corrupt. If it's still under warranty, take it into a Vodashop. They'll reload the firmware for you. (You'll lose everything on the phone though...)
