3 won't unlock my 6280.

Dear all,
I have a contract with 3 in the UK and because I'm travelling all the time, I requested them to unlock my Nokia 6280 so I can use SIM cards from other operators.
They said they would do it for a £15 fee, which I said was ok, and after getting my mobile IMEI, they came back saying that they didn't have the unlock code for my mobile and that they would need to send a request for it to Nokia, and that getting that unlock code from Nokia would take a month.
I am going to travel again pretty soon and I would like to have my mobile unlocked before that, and I've read before here that Nokia does not hold the unlock codes, so is there any truth to what 3 is telling me or are they just stalling me?
Is there anything Nokia can do to help?
Thanks!

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

Nokia 6300 won't unlock keyguard

Hello i got a nokia 6300 for christmas and i decided to try out the security keyguard. i used the default code 12345 and locked the keypad. my younger brother tried around 20 times to unlock the keypad and now the keypad won't unlock. how do i unlock my phone? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remove the battery for 30sec & put it back & check. If it fails your younger brother might accidentaly changed the default, then a trip to Nokia Care Center for reflash the only option.

Droid 1 won't unlock

Earlier today I dropped my phone, but nothing cracked or broke and it looks just fine. I've used it since then, too. But I just got a text and when I went to slid the bar over to unlock my phone, it won't slide. It starts to move and it vibrates, but it won't slide all the way and thus my phone stays locked. I've restarted it a few times, pulled the battery out and let it sit, and it still won't unlock.
Anybody have any solutions/advise? It's really bugging me just watching the notification light blink and I can't check it >:(

Good morning kelsietrunnell.
I know it can be upsetting to have content in your phone that you need to access, but cannot. Let's try to figure this out, and hope it didn't get internally damaged with the fall. Are you still unable to unlock your phone? Are you able to answer it if it rings, or place phone calls? Since you have already tried restarting and pulling the battery, the next best option is a Hard Reset. You may have to use the Alternate Method if you're still unable to use the keys on your phone.
If you still cannot use the phone, please send me a Direct Message, and I will be happy to personally assist you further.
Thank You,

I-pad won't unlock, doesn't respond to touch

Hi,
My ipad won't unlock. It doesn't seem to respond to touch at all. It was working fine last night but this morning i can't get passed the unlock screen. No touch seems to do anything.
Things I have already tried include:
restarting by pressing the top key and the home key
updating the software
Any other help would be greatly appreciated. This is very frustrating.
Thank you.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

2G won't unlock! Help!

I have an IPod Touch 2G and it worked fine up until yesterday. I went to use it today and it displayed the screen showing the USB cord and ITunes. I had to download the latest version of ITunes then restore the IPod to factory settings. Now, the screen won't unlock.
I have seen in other forum posts of users holding in the top button and the home button to restart the IPod. This doesn't work on mine, it just gets stuck on the screen displaying the Apple logo. Then, I have to plug it into my computer to get it to come back on.
I have had the IPod for 3 years or so now and I do not have a warrenty on it. I don't even know where my closest Apple store is! I just wondered what I can do to fix this thing!!! Also, does anyone know how much it will cost to get it fix if I do have to take it in with no warrenty?

Have you got an ipod nano because you probaly have the screen lock on. When it is connected to the computer can you get on to it?
I hope it helps

IPad won't unlock (slide to unlock) in landscape

Hi... I've got a user whose iPad won't unlock when it is in the landscape position... but will unlock in the portrait position.
Initially, it wouldn't unlock in either. I had the user take off his screen protector and then it would unlock in portrait.
Any ideas, or is this an Applecare fix?
Thanks

You could try cleaning the screen to remove any residue from the screen protector.

Regions won't unlock

I spotted an earlier discussion on this, but I'm encountering it: I can lock all my regions with no problems, but when I try to unlock them, some won't unlock no matter what I do. Anyone ever find a solution to this?

no solution...

Ipod mini won't unlock or do anything!!!

OK, here is the deal, I couldn't get my ipod to unlock, the little lock icon stayed on and I couldn't do anything, so I thought that if I restored it to factory condition it would fix itself. Well it didn't! Now it won't turn on unless it's plugged into the computer and it won't unlock so I can't do anything with it. Is there anything I can do that I haven't done?? I have tried to restart it by holding down the select and menu button and it did nothing.

Have you taken the hold button off?

Locked now it won't unlock!!

Everytime I lock my iPod it won't unlock.
The only time it will unlock if I reset it.
A couple a days it got wet (I waited 5 days) and now it's play music fine but that's the only problem. I already resetted it using iTunes and still it's like that. Is it cuz my iPod got wet??

Yes it is. How long did you let it dry before you tried to use it?
