Nokia 5800 won't start up three weeks after slight...

okay, here's kind of a long one.. I bought my nokia 5800 xpressmusic on a £5 a month contract with the catalogue 'Very'.. Apparently this does not include insurance.. Anyway.. the phone worked perfectly for a year.. until i went to the beach and dropped it in a shallow puddle face down.. slowly everything went off... so i took the battery, sim and memory card out.. a day later it came back on.. it's worked fine for three weeks (apart from the lights on the buttons and the secondary camera on the front).. but last night.. i was on my normal apps when the screen closed down, went black and the backlight was on low.. i tried taking the battery, sim and memory card out and put them back in.. but to no avail.. also I've tried it on charge and tried with a sim without, with memory card without etc.. but nothing seems to be working... this kind of thing has happened before but it came on after a few hours.. but it's been 12 hours.. and i haven't had any luck with it.. i could really use the help because i'm not even half way through my contract with 'Very' and they won't let me cancel it and they won't replace it... Also no message came up after the phone turned off..
The fact it crashed while i was on apps after it had worked for three weeks after the water accident makes me think it's probably not due to the slight water damage... can you help please?

Don't know why you assume this especially due to corrosive nature of saline as opposed to fresh water; it takes a while for faults to start showing up after such immersion unfortunately.

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard? This just started in last week after 6 months of use

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).
The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard.
This just started in last week after 6 months of use. The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support. Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences. Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key). I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility. The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

Nokia 6288 won't start

Hello,
During updating my phones software by using NSU i got a warning the connection between phone and pc was lost so te update was not finished. Now my 6288 won't start anymore. Does anybody know how to solve this?

This is true, the phone has completely crashed and only an engineer can now get this working.

Nokia 301 won't start up

When I switch my Nokia 301 off, it won't start up again.
To get it to start, I have to remove the battery for more than 10 minutes, plug it into a charger for an hour or so, and then it will start up.
If I try to turn it on soon after plugging the charger in, the screen flashes brightly and then switches off, and I have to start again by taking the battery out.
Could this be solved with a new battery, or resetting or reflashing the phone, or is there something more serious wrong with the electronics?

Welcome to Nokia Discussions, glastounok.
This might be a hardware issue. You may send it to a Nokia Care Centre for further device diagnostics.

ITunes won't start on Windows 7 after update

Last night I had the misfortune of succumbing to iTunes' suggestion to update. Afterwards it failed to start without a single error message. A forum here suggested to update the quicktime player as well, did that. QT player works fine but iTunes still won't start. The exe appears in the processes list but does nothing. HELP!!!!

Did you try and update through itunes or download the installer from the apple website?
I've read some where its better to just download the stand alone installer from apple and
do it that way.

Safari won't start on Windows XP after the first run

OK, Safari used to work on my work PC. Now when I install it, Safari launches and seems to work. But after I close it, it won't start again - just dies and does nothing.
I noticed in another thread that .net framework may be the culprit and I have 1,2,3 installed. I have removed safari and re-added and the same thing happens. iTunes seems to work with no issues.

OK, Safari used to work on my work PC. Now when I install it, Safari launches and seems to work. But after I close it, it won't start again - just dies and does nothing.
Some basic principle troubleshooting thoughts here.
Are you able to launch Safari (after that first run) if you restart the PC and then try launching again?
I'm wondering here if the Safari.exe process is still running even though Safari looks like it has quit correctly. If that's what is going on, the running Safari.exe can "suppress" attempts to relaunch Safari. If that's afoot, restarting the PC should shut down the process, and we might be able to get Safari to launch then.

Nokia C5 won't start

I have a recently purchased Nokia C5 that in mid conversation just died. No warningsignals or anything, it just died. Every time I start the phone it buzzez (vibrates) but not like it usually does, just a sort of warningbuzz or something and nothing happens. I tried charging it, thinking it may be the battery, but an hour later nothing has changed. It doesn't even show that it is recharging. I've tried taking out the battery, taking out the simcard, taking out the microsd and all at the same time - Nothing!
What the h*ll is wrong with my phone?!

Next thing to try is a Hard Reset:
Press and hold these three buttons * + 3 + Green call button. now push the power on. keep those buttons pressed, until you see timezone selection screen.
(Buttons to hold are STAR, THREE, GREEN CALL BUTTON)
After doing this unfortunately you'll loose you data from phone memory, and it'll be in out of box condition.
And if Hard Reset fails, next thing is to visit your local Nokia Care point and let them fix it for you.

Please help nokia 5800 won't connect in pc suite m...

Hi
Ive been going crazy trying to connect my 5800 via usb to my laptop (vista). When i connect via bluetooth its fine but usb simply wont install drivers. says that i am missing phone parent . i have tried everything i have read e.g unistalling everthing and using pc suite cleaner and then re installing pc suite 7.1, removing wdfo1000.sys file form system 32 folder and placing on desktop. Ovi suite wont connect either because of the driver problem. i am connecting in pc suite mode. i need the usb as bluetooth is too slow. please help

Sorry, I do not have an answer, and because I do not know how to start a 'new topic' on the discussion board, I would like to ask my question here:
My ovi nokia suite takes aboutbtween 1 and 2 minutes to open, after I have clicked on it for the first time. My previous nokia suite (E70) opened immediately. Does anyone have the same 'problem', or is it just something I must get used to ?
ps. my PC is not the fastest, but it is not slow either, I have no problems opening other programs on my PC, therefore it must be something with ovi suite itself.
Any suggestions to open it quicker ?
ps. I know it is not a nokia question, but can anyone recommend any PC cleanup (anti-virus) programs ?
Thank you

Nokia 700 - won't start after FP1 update (112.some...

Just checked for updates today and I had a new OTA update available, yay! So I thought, "Finally, FP1 is here!" Here's what happened afterwards:
I charged my 700, created a back-up (never forget this step chaps), restarted it, took a deep breath, enabled Wi-Fi and let it update itself.
So first step went fine, it downloaded the update. Second, it rebooted and started loading the update files while displaying "Updating..." Next, it switched the label to a coups of gears and continued filling the progress bar. And then - the moment of truth - reboot.
Started initialising normally, then showed NOKIA logo, started the "Loading" animation with the five dots and... that was it. It keeps resetting while at the dots animation. After several tries it just gave up and remained blank. Waited some time and decided to wake it up - same scenario: starts init, several reboots, goes back to off.
Is it that the OTA SW updated screwed up my device? Really hope not!
Any words of advice from the community here before I go yell at somebody at one of my carrier's offices tomorrow morning?
Cheers!

Brief update - turns the phone is not "bricked" at all, problem is my SIM card.
It's ancient honestly but should that render the phone useless?
In short - tried booting without SIM at all - works OK. Tried with relatively recent SIM - OK. When tried with my old SIM (think I got it as a replacement to an even older price back in 1999 or 2000) - boom! Won't power up (keeps rebooting till it gives up at some point).
Although I'll easily remedy it by getting a new chip in the morning, I was wondering - is Belle FP1 not supporting old SIM cards?

Nokia 5800 won't update to firmware v40.0.005

Hello,
I have tried to update my 5800 using nokia software updater several times( I am currently on v21.0.025), but no luck. The software says that there is no new update available, which is incorrect. I know of people who have updated their phones to v40.0.005 without incident.
I purchased the phone in late December '09 and have been trying to update it since the middle of January 2010. I am at a total loss as to why the noka software updater won't detect the newly available software. Nokia them selves said that the update is available in my country(Ireland).I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software update.
Thank you for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The software says that there is no new update available, which is incorrect
That is correct their is no update yet for your particular model phone .
Phone code and number decide if the update is available .
Stick your product code in here for tthe exact situation today and keep checking every few days .

Nokia C7 won't start anymore

Hi all!
To briefly describe the problem:
- bought the phone 5 days ago; tried it to see how it works- installed PR1.2 as an update throgh phone's update function to have the latest software available;
- 3 days ago it suddenly stopped; It started again after five minutes (meanwhile I couldn't make it start whatsoever);
- yesterday while transfering a picture through OVI to the computer, the phone closed; I couldn't make it work again; I searched the internet and the only thing that worked was to leave the phone in the fridge for 5 minutes and then turn it on but it only works for some time then closes again;
From what I see in the other threads, this is a common problem. Is there any proper workaround available or the only solution is to get it back to the the store I bought it and hope they'll replace the motherboard? Is there anywhere any information regarding the source of the problem? (I read it's probable to be a sensor of heat)

Hello,
Regardless the reason what’s causing this issue and whether your phone
temporarily wakes up after being in fridge, the fact is that your new phone
isn’t working as it should. For that phone needs to be either checked by Nokia
Care point and then repaired or swapped by the retailer. As phone is brand new,
warranty naturally covers the costs.
Putting the phone into fridge for a while obviously isn’t a solution and if
done frequently, may even damage the phone more, as rapid temperature changes
cause air humidity condensing inside the device. Also opening the phone and
trying to repair according to some instructions found from internet causes the
warranty to expire, so I definitely wouldn’t recommend that either.

Nokia 5800 won't update apps or download apps

I just got this phone yesterday and i want to do the 3 app updates (adobe flashlite 3.1, mail exchange 2.9 and nokia messaging 10.0) that it has on the list in the application folder.
but when i press start update it tries to do them but then says 3 updates failed
also i cant get the ovi store on my phone or download anything
what should i do to fix it?
thanks

Well since its brand new I expect nothing would be the problem is we put the phone through formatting and firmware reinstallation. Some guy at factory must have been half asleep.
On your phone, just dial *#7370# and lock code (by default its 12345). After which, connect to PC to Ovi Suite and update software, then perform the format again. This should ensure that the system is as squeaky clean as possible.
This isnt necessarily the solution, but its sort of the "nuke it" final straw option which in this case I doubt if its a problem on a brand new mostly still empy phone.

Nokia 5800 won't play flv files

I've had my 5800 for about half a year. My Software version is V31.2.101 (this is the most up-to-date version I can have according to my Nokia Software Updater)
For some reason when I try to play flv files (approx. 30-100mb), a completely white screen shows up with a "broken" flashplayer symbol in the upper left corner.
What's wrong? How do I play flv files on my Nokia?
I've read in lots of places before that the 5800 can play flv files straight out of the box. =/ mine can't
btw, I can play mp4 files, but it's a pain because I have to convert the flv files first
and I have Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 installed. (atleast that's what it says when I select a video and go to "Options" - "About application")

As far as I was aware, the 5800 didn't play FLC - it certainly isn't listed here:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5800_XpressMusic/
However, even if it was possible, it may depend on the way the FLVs were encoded - things like the frame rate could cause playback incompatibilities.

Macbook Pro won't start up passed installer after failed lion update.

After installing what seems now to be a phony Lion update, my mac won't fully start up. Whenever i turn it on it will bring me to the installer and I can't seem to figure out how to start up on snow leopard again. I believe all my files are still intact. Whenever i turn it on it brings me to language options then utilities where i can choose to start from back up, disc utilites, reinstall lion, or use safari. Can anyone help me with this?

Since you appear to be running Lion do the following:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Mac won't start up; shuts down after grey apple start up screen :(

Well I have just recently came off a two week holiday from Mexico, and straight away I log onto my iMac, as usuall I try to update it as often as I can so I am upto date.
Well I did that, and I found that I had loads to update because I had been away. Soo as normall I allowed it to update. I left my iMac to its own devices for about 2 and 1/2 hours, so it can update, whilst I was on the PS3. Once I had finished on the PS3 I had came to find, that when the iMac automatically starts up to install/update software, that it had frozen.
So I left it for another hour, to see if it could sort itself out, but just my luck nothing happened.
So I held down the power button, until I forced shut down my iMac. When I came to start my iMac back up again, it chimed like usual, and went onto the grey startup screen like usuall, then it took ages to respond, the wheel thingy, just kept spinning and eventually it stop and my iMac shut down.
And it keeps on shutting down like that and won't boot up, but some how it has gone into Safe Boot Mode.
What shall I do, a go from here on, to get my iMac back to normal?
Many thanks to any posts in advance.

Think I have sorted it guys with a bit of searching:
