Can't switch my Nokia 6300 on

I can't get my 6300 to switch on. When I press the power button the two blue lights on the side of the phone light up but it doesn't turn on. They light up for as long as I hold down the power button but then go out when I release it.
I've charged the phone and also tried to switch it on without the SIM but nothing seems to work.
I saw a thread similar posted back in June - anyone know how/if it was fixed.
Thanks in advance

Ok the only fix i can think of it to take it to your local Nokia Service Centre, they will repair it under the 2 year warranty.

Nokia 6300 not switching on

I tried to switch on my ~Nokia 6300 the screen and music comes on but after a while the screen goes blank (white) then the phone switches off

My Nokia 6300 is becoming a nightmare. It is actually my elderly mother's and she has just found that it is not turning ON.
1)I have changed the sim card and put mine in and it starts up, Nokia start up, then fades to black. Turns off.
So changing the sim did not rectify the problem.
2) I have tried charging it for long periods. )note: the usb port for the charger is fragile, by that I mean 'not secure'. I'm getting pretty cheesed off. )
This appears not to rectify the problem.
3) I have searched google for forums and support for this problem and MANY posts about this problem with the Nokia 6300 but next to no solutions.
4) The only Nokia Service Centre is in an outer suburb called Morley, Western Australia.
I know this as I have had to take other Nokia's there and am getting pretty tired of it. (No after service or duty of care form the carriers ie. telstra etc)
CAN ANYONE FROM NOKIA INFORM ME WHY THIS NOKIA 6300, AND MANY OTHERS IT APPEARS, TURN THEMSELVES OFF AND WILL NOT RESTART. IF THEY DO RESTART IT IS ONLY FOR ABOUT 6 SECONDS.
Very frustrated and would appreciated a positive response on a way forward.
It is looking pretty clear to me that Nokia is no longer on top of it's game. Service is as important as the sale.

Nokia 6300 Broken Screen (can't see a thing) help ...

Hi guys.
I've got a Nokia 6300 and the screen broke the other day and I'm unable to see a thing. I can still use the phone though (blindly of course)
I'd like to transfer my numbers from my phone to my sim and to be able to do this without being to see.
So if someone could help me with shortcuts? I think I can press the menu key, then some numbers (am i right?) rather than up down etc etc.
Any help would be really really appreciated as i'm stuffed without a phone at the moment!
Thanks so much!
Charlie

once in main menu, i cant just go to any sub menu by pressing a number key, i have to use directional pad to go to CONTACTS, in there, press UP, (go to the last selection)it's COPY CONTACTS, an other UP, it's MOVE CONTACTS,
choose either one, once in, you have two option, first: FROM PHONE TO SIM, 2nd: FROM SIM TO PHONE, if u select the first one, it asks : move contacts? press center to answer YES, and wait, it may takes a while, i did with 60 contacts, in about 20 seconds.
by default, in grid mode, the upper center icon is the contacts.

Can a neck strap be attached to a Nokia 6300?

Hi all,
I want to know whether the Nokia 6300 has the input for a neck strap.
Thanks

I have 2 Nokias, dual SIM, 105 and 108. Both are petite, glossy, slippery. Both have slipped from my hands, crashed down from the backpocket, where I carry one of them while walking the dog, when I invariably forget to take it out before dropping the jeans. And yes, neither has a provision for attaching a neck strap. Alas!
Most gadget mfrs nowadays are aiming their product at females: downsizing, cutiepie looks, small delicate buttons, alphanumeric pad with too small keys too close to each other. Its almost as if they dont want male buyers at all?!
But at least a provision for adding a neck strap? If women dont want to, then they can ignore this feature!

Nokia 6300 can not swich on, only blue lights on t...

Hello,
I have left my nokia 6300 in the rain. After that I couldn't turn on my mobile. I left the phone to dry for a couple of weeks. It does nothing when you put it in the charger. When I put in my SIM-card, the lights on the side of the phone turn blue, but the phone doesn't swich on. The blue lights stay blue for approximately 2 minutes, then they slowly fade out. What does this mean?
Greets,
Peter

the only thing you can do in your situation is to take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

How can I delete an E-Mail account in Nokia 6300

I have setup an E-Mail account (e.g Gmail) on my Nokia 6300. I would like to delete this account which is no longer needed. I couldn’t find any delete option there. Before Nokia 6300, I have used Nokia E-50. It has a very simple option in Connect folder to delete or manage these E-mail accounts. Waiting for you response.

Simply enter the configurations menu from settings, go to personal config and the account should be listed there, select options and delete.
Simple! :-)

Nokia 6300 Text Message Options

I own a Nokia 6300 which was Made in Hungary. It came with firmware revision version 5.00.
I only see 6 options in my Text Message Settings and nothing seems to resolve it. There's supposed to be 10 options. I contacted Nokia care centre and they suggested that I update the software which I did but to no avail.
I purchased my phone SIM free and completely unlocked. No provider touched my phone.
1. Message Centres
2. Msg. Centres in use
3. E-mail Msg. Centres
4. E-mail Centres in use (this option is
greyed out)
5. Use Packet Data
6. Character support
What should be there is:
1 delivery reports
2 message centres
3 msg centre in use
4 e-mail msg. centres
5 e-mail centre in use (greyed)
6 message validity
7 messages sent via
8 use packet data
9 character support
10 rep. via same centre
'Delivery reports, Message Validity, Rep. via same centre and messages sent via' are all missing from mine.
I have reseted my phone on several occasions but it makes no difference in that department. I updated it to 5.50 and still no difference. I'm out of ideas. Can anybody out there suggest anything to me that I haven't already tried ?
Thank you all.

Hello,
I've got the solution!!!
Okay - I spoke to Nokia - who advised me to speak to my SIM card provider (Orange). Orange said - 'This functionality is not supported by Orange on the 6300'.
But there is a way around this.
Borrow one of friends SIM cards (preferably a Vodafone) - insert the card, switch on the phone then go to the messaging menu:
Message Settings > Text Messages > Delivery Reports (set this to yes).
Then switch off the phone, stick your own SIM card back in the phone and switch it on.
If you now go back to the same menu - you will see that, there is no option to set Delivery Reports. However, when you now send a message - it will now indicate when a message is delivered.... JOB DONE :-)

Nokia 6300 - charger in UK

I have a Nokia 6300 purchased in Toronto, Canada, and will be visiting England next week. My question is: do I need to buy a charger in the UK to charge the phone; or can I just use the North American charger I have and just use a plug adapter?

O2 phones contain very little branding which can be easily removed and are unlocked. The only branding that you cannot remove is an O2 splash screen when you switch the phone on.
Orange phones are heavily branded and usually replace nokia's nice active standby screen with their own awful orange home screen. They also have a splash screen. The are locked.
The # key problem is firmware related. Some sim free nokia's also have the problem. I think the firmware that orange use has the problem and O2's doesn't but this may have changed.

Nokia 6300 reboots while syncing contacts

Hello,
At first let me make 3 points clear:
- I use the last version of my phone firmware
- I use the last version of PC Suite
- Syncing was perfectly working until then.
This is what happens now:
I have 305 contacts in Outlook, which used to sync seemlessly with my Nokia 6300... until recently. Since 2 days ago, the sync triggers a phone re-init at the 224th contact. I've tried several times and this is always where the sync process fails. All calendar and notes sync flawlessly, and I could do a phone backup.
Any idea as to what I can do?

I had a similar problem when I first tried to use PC Suite after upgrading to a 6300. The phone was switching off after I got to 119 of my 162 contacts.
The answer seems to be that you need to 'tidy up' any contact information you transferred from another phone or have updated. Its a bit laboroius but it worked for me.
Edit each of the contacts deleting those that contain no information and remove any spurious characters or symbols that may have appeared.
I did this and can now get PC suite to read all my contacts.

'SIM card registration failed' on Nokia 6300 - fin...

I have two Nokia 6300 phones (I know, they are pretty old now, but there's no point me switching them while these still work!). I had one with me when I worked in New York and it worked fine out there with a US pay-as-you-go SIM card. The other one I saved to use in the UK when I was here, and it has a UK pay-as-you-go SIM (Tesco). I have now moved back to the UK and want to use both phones with my UK SIM card, however the one I used in America says 'SIM card registration failed' and won't find any reception when i put my SIM card (or any SIM card) in to it.
I'd be extremely grateful for any help/advice people can offer.
Thanks!

card registration failed means it has been locked out by the service provider
Did you buy the phone NEW?? is so take it back they will exchange it
If you bought it used chances are who ever sold it has reported it lost or stolen or It was stolen before they sold it
I had this on a Brand new N95 which was exchanged by the shop some one had either Palmed it while looking in the shop or just stolen the ID from it

Nokia 6300 Battry discarg within 1 t0 1:30 hourse

I have purchase New Nokia 6300 on 19 Th dec 2007 my battry discharg wthin 1 to 1:30 Hours talktime or 30 to 36 hours in stand by mode
2 how can check my battry is original or not by online and also my Nokia fhone

Did you charge the battery for 10-12 hours first time, then let it completely discharge before recharging? The times vary according to who gives the advice, but a long initial charge/discharge cycle helps to make sure that all cells in the battery are active. Sometimes, Nokia manuals advise an initial charge of 2-3 hours, but most independent sources recommend longer initial charges for all types of rechargeable batteries.
When charging normally, leave the phone on charge until the battery icon stops animating completely. If you take a phone off charge before this, even if the battery icon appears full chen you remove the AC power, it may still not be completely charged.
Also note that standby time does not include playing music and video files, having Bluetooth switched on, playing games (which keep the screen permanently active and generate sound) and a number of other factors concerned with phone functionality will affect battery performance.
