My Nokia N95 wont switch on, but the white backgro...

My mum only gave me this phone 2days ago as she got a new one.  She's never had a problem with it and has kept it in a hard case so still looks brand new.  I always have a habit of breaking or losing phones, this is 3rd one in 4months
Anyway I picked my phone up and it was switched off but I presumed it was dead as I had left my music playing.  I put it on charge only for 10 minutes but i never tried switchig it on as i forgot to take it out with me.  I put it on charge again last nite but it won't turn on this morning.  The screen comes up white with the battery sign on the right which stops after a minute as i assume its fully charged now. Its not the charger as my bf uses it for his and the phone does seem to be charging.  The on button can't be broken as when i press it the white background comes back on.
I've tried the hard reset wth the 3 * and green button but nothing.
Please help, can't afford to pay to have it repaired and my mum will kill me as  it has loads of pics and videos  :-(

1. Take out the battery, leave your battery and SIM out for 5-10minutes and put everything back in and turn it on .
2. Hard reset: This is the last resort. All data stored in the phone memory wil be lost. This is how you do it: Press and hold down these keys: the call (Green) button, '*', '3'. Turn on your phone without releasing them. Leave the keys only after you see the region selection screen.
You might need multiple attempts to finally get it right. Try again.
Good luck... Hope your mom doesn't find out what you've done with her toy

  • Nokia N95 wont start up

    Hi All,
    my Nokia N95 wont start up, 
    this morning I tried to listen to the radio thru my Nokia N95, but no sound was coming out of the headphones so I thought it was a bug and I decided to turn my phone off and on again, and I havent been able to get it to turn back on since.
    When I try to turn it on, the nokia logo appears, but the screen isnt properly backlit (looks like its on standby), there is no vibration that I normally get when I turn it on,and then after a few seconds the screen fades off as if the power to it was cut.
    When I turned the phone off it still had 2 bars of battery left, I have tried charging the phone, and removing the battery, and I also tried holding down different buttons as I started the phone, but so far no luck.
    the phone is probably about 8 months old, roughly.
    tl;dr: phone wasnt outputting sound, I tried to restart it and it never started again.
    any help would be appreciated!

    Looks like you have already tried removing the battery and leaving it out for a vew minutes as well as the 3 finger reset. But just in case you were not doing it right, I'll explain it again.
    Don;t forget to backup your phone before trying any of this.
    Firstly take the battery out for 5 minutes and then replace and see if that makes any difference.
    Then try the "3 finger deep reset" which is depress these three keys simultaneously "*" "3" "green phone" and then power on phone whilst keeping those same three keys depressed until you hear start-up tone.
    This should ONLY be done if the device doesn't power up normally anymore and it wipes everything in the Phone memory that is not part of the ROM.
    Also try restarting without the memory card.
    If none of the above works then you will have no choice but to send it to your Nokia Care Point.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • My I-pod5 wont switch on but is fully charged

    My ipod 5 is fully charged  but the screen wont turn on there is some sound

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hi,
    First, try a Hard Reset as follows.
    Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for a full minute.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and see if the notebook will start.
    If it still doesn't start, is there a sequence to the 'blinks' that you can match to the table below?

  • Animations are subdued but the white screens, neon colors and lack of black boarders are still making my eyes feel strained. What's to do about these issues? Oh and calander is still a disaster.

    The zooming animations made me overwhelmed with motion sickness and I thank apple for handling that issue. Unfortunately there are still many visual issues that strain my eyes and make my iPhone unpleasant to use. The bright neon colors are childish and unnecessary, the lack of black boarders around icons etc make the eyes work harder to define content on the iPhone, the overuse of white screens and keyboard exhaust the eye,  and the calendar is so inefficient and has been rendered useless to me. What about all of those issues? Notes is blinding and I don't use that anymore. I've stopped using calendar which is VITAL to my modern existence. The zooming is gone but all these other factors have still ruined the iPhone for me and I've been using iPhone from the first month it was put on the market. I used to LOVE my iPhone and I was down right snobby about it. Now I am dispassionate about iPhone and Apple and honestly heartbroken by the device IOS 7 turned my beloved into. Sure, there are some cute new tricks but the overall IOS 7 experience is still ruining my iPhone for me.  What's to be done about these other issues?! I 

    Overall, no you can't change iOS 7. There are a number of thrid party calendar apps available in the app store however. You might explore some of those.

  • Nokia 6020 wont switch on

    i have the nokia 6020, the other day i found my phone swiched off when i tired to turn it on, the lights on the phone turns on for 2-3 seconds then its goes off. The phone is not turning on, this happens every time i press the power button
    last time this happened a third day i bought the phone(8 months back)i went to the nokia repair center and then said my phone software has a virus( this is not possible as it was a new phone unless it was a defective phone) so i paid for it and they reinstalled the phone
    but now im facing the same problem, what should i do
    can i restall the phone myself, last time when i gave it to the nokia care they deleted all the information in the phone
    how do i reinstall the phone with out deleting the infomations on the phone.
    any help

    I assume you have checked that this is not just a battery problem.
    Unfortunatly a firmware flash will delete all the items you have provided.Their is no exception to this.
    Make a back up of the items you want to re install after the nokia repair centre have carried this out.
    I wonder if something in one of the itmes you have downloaded is causing the issues ?

  • MAC Mini wont turn on but the fan is constantly running loudly.

    Hey, I'm new to MAC's and apple etc, I mostly use PC's and such but had to get a MAC for work purposes. Up to now it has been great and I can see why they are brill machines but last night when it wasn't even switched on the fan started up and now I can't even turn the Mini on. The only way to stop the fan (which sounds like a hair dryer - the only way I can describe it) is to unplug it at the mains. I'm worried that someone is going to tell me its bust and will cost a small fortune to repair but hey I gotta know.
    Thanks.
    Also I have tried pressing down the button to restart it etc but it just doesn't respond.

    I am also having the same problem.
    I came home after a long business trip to find that my computer was unplugged by my wife. After plugging it back in, fan on high, and no LED light.
    I was quoted 500-600 to get it fixed. I bought the darn thing for only $450.
    SMC reset has absolutely no effect what so ever.
