Lumia 800 Bricked - Please Help!

My Lumia 800 has bricked itself this morning. Like most of you I've been having the well-documented battery and wi-fi issues. I got the "stuck wi-fi" issue again this morning and in the past had powered off the phone to resolve it. Well - my Lumia won't power back on again.
Have tried charging, connecting to Zune and pressing and holding the power key for 10 seconds. Been in this state now for about 3 hours to no avail. I've e-mailled Nokia, but am off on holiday on Tuesday for 3 weeks, so I think I'm basically phoneless until the new year.
Does anyone have any ideas, or know of any other secret key combinations to jump the thing into life?
Thanks in advance.

i have a pretty brick too. nothing seems to be able to revive it.
i know this is digging up an old thread, but i was trying to re-purpose my old Lumia800 as a spare phone on a sim only deal from a different carrier, given that my current (vodafone) carrier is useless.
so. story time.
plugged in the 800 after being in a box for the past year or so. gave the battery empty symbol so left on charge. came back a couple of hours later, and nothing on screen. can't get the phone to boot or anything. however, holding down the power button and then releasing generates a vibrate, then a few seconds later, and shorter vibrate.
same for power+volume down buttons. so it kinda seems alive. left it overnight on charge.
this morning it was sat on the lock screen, and unlocked it. the homescreen buttons work, as in they show being pressed on the screen, but don't do anything.
got to work, downloaded the Lumia Software Recovery Tool. at this point i don't care if i wipe the phone. the software updates itself to version 5.0.5, and downloads the software for the 800. its about 415meg? version 1750.0805.8773.12220
the recovery then seemed to be working and doing something on the phone, and it looked like it needed to reboot the handset to do the next bit.
only the phone has not come back on. the powerbutton/cam button, and volume down buttons hold down and release trick seems to not do anything anymore, and my PC is unable to detect the handset as being connected to the usb ports? have tried multiple ports.
the software "wating for connection" advises hold down power and volume down buttons untill vibrate. no vibrate.
looks like it really has died this time.
any advice gratefully recieved.

Nokia Lumia 800 bricked

Hi All,
I have had a (relatively!) trouble-free Lumia 800 for the last 10 months or so. It is on Vodafone UK, and runs the latest software updates.
Today, I had it plugged into the laptop at work and had just removed Facebook as an account (I have been trying to get my message updates to work), and whilst it was plugged into the laptop via USB I performed a full turn-off by holding down the power button for 10 seconds.
However, it now will not turn on at all, no matter what I do to it. It was pretty much fully charged when this happened, and here is the list of things I have tried:
Left it plugged into the laptop for more than 2 hours;
Warmed the phone up by leaving it in (hot!) direct sunlight;
Held down the power button for about a minute both plugged in and unplugged;
Held down Volume-Down, Power and Camera buttons both plugged in and unplugged;
Plugged it into a laptop and stand-along charger;
Done pretty much all of the above whilst removing and replacing SIM card etc.
However, all the above do absolutely nothing at all, and the phone is well and truely completely bricked. I am really struggling with this - is there anything anyone can suggest? Is there some sort of complete reload/reboot that I can try?
Thanks in advance,
Neil

Sadly all brands have troubles, know people that have had far worse reliability with HTC's and Samsungs recently. Personally amongst my family, friends and colleagues not one of us has had a serious issue with any of our 10+ Lumias, luck of the draw. The only one we had a little bit of trouble was my sisters branded 710 but it started to behave after a hard reset. I personally had trouble with an 800 back in October but it wasn't mine and wasn't running release firmware.
Personally I always have a spare phone, either at home or work in case mine lets me down, fortunately i've not had to touch it whist using the Lumia 800 & 900.
If the charger thing doesn't work then sadly you'll either have to send it off or claim for it on any insurance policies you may have. There is nothing further that can be done on this forum to help.

I would go back to where you bought it and compare it with another if its possible.

How to unlock Nokia Lumia 1020? Please Help Me.

Hi! How do you unlock Nokia Lumia 1020 w/c is locked with AT&T? I just bought mine in the US a couple weeks ago, but before I bought the phone I asked the AT&T Customer Number (1-800-331-0500) that I am a non-US resident and I bringing the phone to my Country. The lady on the other line told me there's no problem as long as I am buying the phone with no obligaation / pay in full price of the phone and call them again thay can unlock the phone. When I bought the phone and called again, the person on the other line told me he can't and the only way is thru website www.att.com/deviceunlock. Now, I've been trying to unlock my phone since Aug. 31 but no avail. So, are those people in AT&T customer service didn't really know what are they doing and if it is really in their hearth to be called a customer service representative? Because, if they knew what are they doing this should have not happen and I should not bought this phone. Now, when I blog thru their website somebody emailed me and telling me different policies again, here is the last email he sent me.
Thanks for taking my call today. As discussed, after further review your device is not eligible to be unlocked for the following reasons:
The person requesting the unlock must be one of the following:
a current AT&T customer
a former AT&T customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account
Customer-Specific Requirements
Postpaid Smartphone Customers: Account has been active for at least ninety days and is in good standing (i.e., it has no past due amount or unpaid balance owed AT&T.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. If you have further questions or concerns, please let us know.
Their apologies cannot return my $700 bucks w/c I paid for the unit for the wrong information of their Customer Service.
Is there anyone here can help me to unlock my Lumia 1020? Thank you in advance.

It does seem slightly hit or miss although users buying via Microsoft Store seemed to have better luck if this is anything to go by: http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-1020/235805-nokia-lumia-1020-msft-store-att-unlocking-%5Bmy-...

I have recently bought iPhone 5. I am using a BSNL post paid 3G sim. I can not activate my BSNL 3G services in my new iPhone 5. Though they were perfectly fine previously in my old handset i.e. Nokia Lumia 800. Please Help. How do I activate BSNL 3G services in my iPhone 5.

Since BSNL is not a supported carrier, you need to input Correct APN settings for Cellular data and enable 3G
Settings >> General >> Network >> Cellular Data Network.
Check with BSNL website/Wireless Customer care/Engineering. You can use Google as well. Cheers

MY LUMIA 800 IS DEAD. PLEASE HELP!

I have a lumia 800 , 10 months old. I had been listening to music suddenly it started to flicker and suddenly stopped an switched off. i tried to restart it but it not working. I tried many key combinations ,for 10 hours since it died. there was 98% charge left when it died. When plugged to charger nothing shows up, even i tried charging from my laptop.
I read many cases similar to mine. Phone still under warranty period, will i get it repaired or replaced as it is an internal damage.
Another problem is I live in India. Im not sure that i'll get my phone repaired or replaced for free.

If your phone is under warranty and there are no signs of liquid or accidental damage then Nokia should repair it at no extra cost to you.

Lumia 800 IS restarting continously | HELP ME

Can anyone help me in this.
My cell(lumia 800) is restarting continuously until the battery is completely drained out.
It will turn on and displays NOKIA and after that it is supposed to display Microsoft Phone buts it’s not booting up till there.
IS there any problem with the OS or with the primary memory (i guess memory where OS is stored)
the device is from other country and i will not get warranty in INDIA, when I checked with NOKIA CARE ,as per them it cannot be resolved it seems.
Somebody please help me.

This has been happening to mine lately, but thankfully after three or four reboot cycles it seems to boot OK.
I can't be sure, but it appears to me to be something to do with either bluetooth or wifi when this happens. It never happens when both are switched off. I'm wondering if it is trying to make a connection over BT or wifi too early in the boot process and this is causing a crash.
Do you have any active bluetooth or wifi hotspots nearby? If so try turning them off or move the phone out of range. As I said it may not be this but you sound desparate and it's worth a try...
Good Luck

I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6 using Itunes. After 1.5 hours all I have is an itunes graphic on my phone. It does nothing else and nothing seems to be happening anymore in itunes. Please help. I think I bricked my own phone and should have known bet

Please help. I think I just bricked my own phone. Despite worries after reading all of the rpoblems people have had upgrading their iphone to Ios 6, I used iteunes to do this to my iPhone 4. (I upgraded to the latest itunes.) Now after 1.5 hours of everything seeming to work OK, all I have is an Itunes graphic on my phone and nothing going on any more in Itunes. The phone doesn't shut down normally or anything. Suggestions? Should I just do a restore operation? I did back up my apps and pics.

Thank you. I ended up performing the Restore after I did an Update, and performing the restore solved the problem----I now have a functioning iPhone with all of my data, pics, and apps on it. Fortunately I made sure that I backed up my iPhone before I tried to update to iOS6. Man, what a headache though, and it sounds like I had it easy compared to some other horror stories I've read. I won't update my iOS on my iPhone again; i've learned my lesson. It remains to be seen whether iOS6 will be worth it :-)

Please help!! problem with rebooting lumia 820

I only got my Lumia 820 yesterday and it was fine then today the camera stopped working, i tried taking the battery out, and putting it back in then switching it back on - still no luck. Then i went on the nokia website and looked up the troubleshooting advice where it advised a reboot. I tried the reboot, seemed to be going fine but now it wont switch on properly!! when it gets to the switching back on part of the reboot it vibrates then the nokia logo comes up on the screen but stays like that and nothing else happens!! please help, really dont know what to do!
p.s i stay an hour away from the nearest phone shop otherwise i'd have popped in when it was just the camera not working!

If you tried the advice from guide return it back to point of purchase and get it exchanged.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

800 vs 400 and 9 pin to 4 pin - please help!!

I have a Sony DCR-HC48 with "base station" and just bought a 9 pin to 4 pin cable from Radio Shack. The Gigaware cable says speed supported up to 400Mbps. I plug the 4 pin end into the base station, and the 9 pin into the Firewire 800 port on the back of the computer. iMovie does not recognize the camera, nor is it recognized in System Profiler.
When I plug my Lacie external hard drive into the same port with a Firewire 800 cable, the drive is listed in the System Profiler under Firewire.
My thought is that the cable I have is the wrong one, even though it seems to fit. I'm assuming I need the same cable except one that supports 800Mbps?
Please help!!!!!

If your camera is FW400 and the only port on your computer available is FW800, then you have the correct type of cable, my only suspicion would be that you have a bad cable.
You might also try connecting the camera on it's own (with no other FW devices connected.
