N73 Shuts down during firmware update

The new firmware downloads, the installation screen appears, and then my phone shuts down. So the installation never gets started. After a while, I get a message to unplug the charger, remove and replace the battery and try again. Which I do...and the same thing happens. Any suggestions?

First remove the battery for 5 minutes, reconnect the battery, connect it to your pc and run the updater again. Leave it for a few minutes and it should go into recovery mode.
If not disconnect it and try a hard reset.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
If that fails to fix it try the advice offered in this post by drummer27:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&messa​ge.id=14152#M14152
If that still fails then the last option is to take the phone to a nokia care point.

  • Laptop shut down during firefox update and now will not start up - did a uninstall and reinstall and still will not start up

    firefox was installing an update and i accidently hit the power button and so it shut down in the middle of the update. after i started my computer again, firefox would not start up. i tried to download it hoping the update would complete but it still would not start up when i clicked on the icon. so i tried to delete it and it would not delete said it was open, so i shut down and restarted the computer. then it deleted using the control panel remove program option. after that i logged onto IE to mozilla.org and downloaded it, afterward it still would not open up or connect to the internet.

    Hi meekprm-
    It sounds like you've tried to do the right thing- by uninstalling and then reinstalling. I'm hoping that you can look over the steps I usually suggest and see if there is anything different that may help you get a fresh version of Firefox installed.
    * Get the latest version: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • 5800 xpress music shuts down during sw update

    Hi everyone,
    I am experiencing very annoying problem with my 5800 xpress music. Currently it's software version is 51.0.006 and i want to update it to a new release 52.0.007. But when i start the Software Updater and when the installation of the update begins my phone shuts down and after approximately 1 minute turns on again, but the installation says that it lost connection with the device and that i should turn off then turn on my phone again and reconnect it with usb... I did that but the some thing repeats. When update started it noted that it is normal for a device display to go blank.. But mine turns off and installation stops..
    Can anyone help?
    Solved!

    Hi, do you have any troubles updating through FOTA or aren't there any update available through it? Remember that you will have to diall *#0000#
    If there aren't any updates available for you through FOTA it's worth checking with both Ovi suite and Nokia software updater (both computer programs).

  • Re: Restoring windows after sudden shut down during updating

    Hi everyone,
    Last night I was updating my windows on my Toshiba laptop, however, my laptop had a sudden shut down during the updating process.
    Now when I start my laptop, I am prompted that a system error occurred and I have to insert my windows CD to continue. I never got a windows CD, and nor have I made a recovery disc yet, so is there any possible way for me to log into windows again? I am using windows Vista.
    Any suggestion would be grateful.
    Thanks in advance

    hi dDk,
    what is the first rules of using a computer?
    *never touch a running system* and of course: *read the f... manual* and *make backups often*
    ok this was a bit hard... but this is a common failure to make an update without saving....
    now lets see what we can do....
    - i assume that there is no possibility to start in safe mode...
    - hdd recovery is not possible...
    - you have neither a systemdisk of vista nor a system backup
    now you are in operators hell....
    - see a servicepartner and ask for assistance, for a small fee he is able to setup your original system
    - get a vista/win7 istallation cd and install it, be aware you loose your hdd backup funktion!
    - try to repair with a "system-on-a-disc" like winpe or bartpe
    - try to make the hidden recovery partition visible to a os booted from cd and run recovery agent from there
    if you killed your recovery partition.... bad luck

  • Laptop shut down during windows 10 update and now won't startup

    Hi, My pc shut down during the Windows 10 installation 2 days ago. Since then I tried to start up the pc, without success.
    I tried to press F11 during booting but the laptop just stays with a black screen saying "F11... System recovery", until I shut my computer down.If I press no key during booting, the screen remains black (with a bit of a background light) and stays like this for hours until I shut it down. I also tried to use the trick with holding the power button for 30 seconds when the laptop is turned off (I guess you call it a hard reset?), but that didn't work either.  What should I do to get back to the original Windows 8.1? I would like to use my pc again and if possible, to not loose any of my old documents.

      Hi , Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community! I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 17-j000 Notebook and issues with it not responding with a Windows 10 update. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices. It should continue where it left off. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

  • IMac just shuts down during iDVD build

    *4 week old 20 inch iMac just shuts down during iDVD build of a dvd. Its really weird, because it is rendering and encoding and all of a sudden it just shuts down without a know. Then when I turn it back on it ejects the blank dvd out and starts. I had my SuperDrive replaced also like 2 days ago from the apple store. I have pasted the system.log if that helps?*

    most likely caused by overheating due to video encoding increasing cpu usage (system freezing and shutdowns is a problem with older intel imacs). monitor your internal temps using an app like istat. temporary workaround is to use an fan control app like imacfancontrol and increase the cpu fan speeds. but this does not actually fix the problem which may arise more periodically as the system gets older.

  • N200 shuts down during boot

    Dear Lenovo,
    I have a problem with my N200 laptop. Notebook shuts down during boot. Sometimes it is immediately after "Lenovo screen", sometimes it is when Vista logo appears. I found out that this is always when notebook is "cold". It does't matter if I want to switch on my notebook or if I want to restore it from hibernation or sleep mode. Next thing is that it always crashes when fan starts work at full tilt (I checked the fan but it is clear). When notebook starts correctly then it works without problems. Usually I have to switch it on about three times then it is OK. This problem takes about 2 weeks. I have my laptop about 7 month. Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem?
    And another thing - I forget to send registration card to Lenovo and now I am afraid that I will be without warranty. Can I send it still now?
    Thank you for answer and sorry for my English.
    Gabi

    Yes, problem with the video card sounds plausible! Any not so successful updates recently? It is sometimes to make a good uninstall, which is required to make a good install.
    4in1 drivers should - esp. with W98 and ME - be installed while in SafeMode and with all autostarting programs disabled, for example Antivirus and utilities.
    Else, since you have a damaged regedit, I would reinstall Windows. You might have done something for example an upgrade or new install the registry, not healthy, has made a note of. Some utilities also overwrite and change system files without good results.

  • Mac Pro shuts down during sleep

    My Pro sometimes shuts down during sleep.  Nothing will wake the machine and it it not accessible by another other computer on the network.  It has to be manually re-started using the button on the back of the computer.  There are no error messages on re-start.
    I have reset the SMC and PRAM but it makes no difference.
    Any ideas?

    Perhaps some third-party software that you had previously installed needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest OS X updates.
    Perhaps some hardware component is experiencing problems; even the best hardware fails occasionally.

  • Phone shuts down during phone calls

    Using a 3G phone, my husband's phone shuts down during a phone call. It doesn't seem to matter where he is or the other person's carrier. The phone comes back on after hitting the Home button a few times. Today it happened right in the middle of a short cal so length of call has no bearing.
    Any ideas?

    It is possible. If a case does only partially cover a sensor, then sometimes it may not cover, or it may, especially if it slides around a little bit.
    But with that said, there have been a lot of reports about 3G and dropping signal. Read just about any tech blog and you will see many posts about it, though no confirmation about a single cause (a lot of finger pointing).
    I'd say try without a case for a bit to see if it continues. If not, then you know that was it. If still issues, then could be related to the issues being reported about 3G.
    They are working on yet another update to try to help, but in meantime if still continues, there is a setting to turn off 3G and just use Edge. For phone calls difference between Edge and 3G really doesn't matter. Only when doing something online with the browser or an App that goes online, etc does 3G really help with speeds. So can also try turning off 3G and only turning it on when you need to go online with the phone. See if that helps with calls until update comes out.

  • My imac shuts down during the startup process - possible startup file corrupt..??

    startup process begins normally...
    grey screen - then the apple - then the spinning wheel -
    sometimes shuts down during spinning wheel, sometimes it gets to the blue screen then shuts down

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If no go, Bboot with the SL install disc, launch Disk Utility, repair the disk, and restart normally. If that doesn't do the trick reinstall SL and then run Software Update if that does.

  • Computer shuts down during startup

    Hey everyone,
    it shames me a little to ask for help about computers because I am usually ok with doing this stuff myself.
    This time, however, I cannot seem to fix the problem indefinitely.I need a laptop for school and cannot afford another so any help would be greatly appreciated!:
    I will just point the facts out:
    After a few years use (two) it now shuts down during (windows) startup.
    I ended up cleaning the Heatsink/fan yet the problem persisted.
    The model is a Toshiba Satellite A200-PSAF6A.
    I am no longer under warranty.
    The school techs cannot help me.
    A few oddities that I noticed:
    It starts up fine when the power plug isn't plugged in.
    It starts up fine with the power plugged in only in safe mode.
    Using CCleaner and Defraggler temporarily fixed my problem (for about 5 minutes or so).
    I hope that you guys can help me. It's just annoying that I cannot fix this myself..
    If any further information is required please just ask and I will reply with as much haste as I can under my current circumstances.
    Thanks,
    Norak.

    During a "cold start" I may get up to the windows login screen and then it shuts down and restarts. (sometimes it doesn't make it to the windows screen and turns off to restart). Then it will start to load windows and the little bar at the bottom will be loading windows and then freeze. I would have to hold the power button down to turn off and restart. Then I start windows normally and it usually works OK, sometimes I have to do this step again, but eventually I get into windows. Then if I shut down and restart it starts up fine, unless I wait for it to cool down.
    Since this started happening, I have reinstalled vista 32bit to out of the box condition and updated to the latest bios, to no avail.
    Computer has always run hot since new, seems to have very poor cooling. But the fan operates, most of the time on full boar.
    Do you think this is a software issue or a component issue, or cold joint.
    BTW it will not shutdown at all if I keep the computer in the F12 key settings area,im not sure what this place is called, but you choose to boot from cd here.
    Okay, this is weird and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with what I had mentioned earlier. I was having some issues with my DVD drive, it was rattling bad and the spin off time was off causing coasters on almost every blank DVD, so I had the thing sent in for a replacement. They put in a new DVD drive, checked the status of my BIOS (V 4.2 which I had all along) and returned the unit back to me sometime around April 22, 2010 -- ever since the thing was working fine. I'm not sure if the bad drive had caused the unit to work erratically.
    Before it was sent in, the issue was of course with the DVD drive, the startup then shutdown problems, plus a whole plethora of other small problems which I didn't bother to mention on my first post. For instance; the illumination lights that controls the media -- sometimes they would not turn off when I shut my computer down. The light stays on even after the computer powers off and I'd have to unplug the AC power cord for the lights to completely shut off.
    My initial problems with the laptop was:
    Media lights won't go off,
    DVD drive rattles very loudly and burns bad media,
    Shutdowns during startups,
    The screen housing would creak every time when I wanted to adjust the position (this happens when I adjust it slowly).
    After they replaced the DVD drive, everything seems to work fine. It's been almost two months now and I haven't had issues with any of the above mentioned problems.

  • Computer shuts down during render/prerender

    This was not my original problem but it has occured before and I know it will occur again.
    My computer shuts down for no reason when I try to render or prerender video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. From what I can tell it is a general issue with premiere that I am having. I have tried multiple video formats, multiple video lengths, and multiple rendering options and I am still getting random shut downs during rendering.
    Here are some specs for my computer which is a laptop:
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit OS)
    Proccessor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.0 ghz
    Ram: 8 gigs of it
    Video: Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT
    1 Hard Drive w/ 280 gb of space
    As a recap.... My exact problem is that during the rendering or pre rendering proccess my computer simply shuts down as in it turns off.
    I can also add that the computer does act strangely leading me to believe that theres some hardware or software incompatibility. While it is rendering I can hear the CPU fan pick up which is usually normal for any rendering application but what I noticed was that it doesnt stop speeding up. Its like if it was going into an overload and I can confirm that at its peak, the computer shuts down.
    To add troubles... whenever I pre render any video and it succesfully renders.... Premeire will hang up really really bad if I try to play the pre rendered preview. In otherwords when you preview a video that it pre rendered it usually plays smooth and everything is fine. After I pre render something though and play it I can tell its locking up because the timeline bar is really jumpy and the video playback skips also.
    This is the problem I would really love fixed. I usually have to button smash my keyboard until I lock premiere up and then once it unfreezes itself i can preview my work smoothly. This is however like a good 5 mins of my time trying to get the preview to play smoothly though so its really hurting how fast I can work.
    If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I will be trying to run the same stuff on my older laptop and observe the results. I personally think CS4 is incompatible with windows 7.

    If you have a recent nVidia driver installed, you might want to check to see if you have either of these two modules loaded - check in the nVidia console:
    PhysX, or 3D Stereovision. If you have them, definitely disable 3D Stereo, and test. If no improvement, disble PhysX and test.
    Also, try adjusting your Hardware Acceleration. If Max, set to Min and test. If Min, set to Max and test. If either helps, try incrementing up, or down, until it no longer helps.
    Last, check your OpenGL settings. If ON, turn OFF. If OFF, turn ON.
    It appears that you have a laptop. Is that correct?
    Good luck,
