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 not remember date !

    Hello all
    my phone nokia 6300 not remember time and date when i turn off phone and other when i take out battary. befor i do like this is not have prolem.
    Thanks
    Bophal

    as far as i understand it, if u take the battery out of the phone, the memory is reset so when u put the battery back in and turn it back on, u will have to set the time again
    if u feel that this isnt right, try updating ur phone's software using the Nokia software updater after doing a backup
    if that doesnt work and u want to verify if it is a fault, take it to a nokia care point
    if my post helped u out, please click the Star next to it to add some KUDOS to my name

  • Nokia 6300 not receiving calls

    Does any one know why my 6300 will not receive calls from any other carrier ,it only takes calls from optus? Help!

    Do any other SIM cards work in it ? Sounds like it could be blacklisted.
    Normally when a handset is blacklisted , you can send and receive SMS , but not make or receive calls.

  • Problem With Nokia 6300 USB DATA CABLE OPTION Not ...

    Hi, I have a Nokia 6300 v.5.00. My problem is when
    I connect my phone using a mini usb cable to the pc, USB Data Cable option on my phone is not highlighted, so I can't use the pc suite mode functions etc. I tried 3 different computers with Windows XP SP3 and 3 different good quality mini usb cables but still to no avail. The options like data mode, nokia pc suite mode still doesn't seem to appear. I also tried different USB slots in these 3 computers still no luck. Can anybody tell me what's the problem? Is there something wrong with IC on my phone or something? What drivers do I need? This is my first time using the mini pop port on THIS phone, I've been using bluetooth to transfer files but it's so slow. Please help

    Hey guys there is a solution with you problem and it works fine for me now. After all the comments & suggestions i read i finally got the best solution for all of you. This can be very simple. Try to install the Nokia PC Suite v7.0.2
    in your pc after that try to search & find the Nokia USB connectivity cable driver v6.8.2 in the web if u get it. Then uninstall the usb connectivity cable driver v7.0.2 in the CONTROL PANEL ADD/REMOVE after that install the "usb connectivity cable driver v6.8.2 in ur PC then try to plug in your Nokia 6300 it will install automatically ur phone. PRESTO your unit can be now Recognized of your PC.
    THAT's ALL FOLKS!!!

  • Lotus Notes 6.5 and Nokia 6300 problem

    Hi All,
    I'm using
    Windows XP with SP2
    Lotus Notes 6.5.4
    Nokia 6300
    PC Suite 6.82.26.0
    When I try to synch my calendar I get the error: the system cannot find the file specified: local, mail\nllha.nsf.
    A second error in Dutch "het vereiste gegevenstype wordt niet door de opgegeven database ondersteund". In English this would be something like "the file type is not supported by the database that you entered".
    Any ideas would be very appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Best regards,

    Hi All,
    Problem is solved... I created a new local replica of my calendar. Without Encryption. Now it works.

  • Nokia 6300 and PC Sutie not restoring Contacts HEL...

    Hi all im not sure if anyone else has the same problem but for some reason every time i try to restore a backup from my Nokia 6300 that I have just made it doesn’t seam to full work.. Everything else will restore except my contacts. If I restore my contacts I get a error msg saying Connection to the phone was lost. Reconnect your phone and restart the restoration..
    Yet when I restore my contacts from a old 6230i phone I backed up 3months ago it seams fine..
    Using Windows XP SP2
    Nokia 6.83..14.1
    Is there any other way I can backup my contacts…
    Also I have noticed some of my applications have now been moved into a different folder on my memory card.

    Ok, so I reinstalled the software, and so far it seems to be working 90% better. I can add contacts, and they seem to store on the computer AND phone better. One contact would not send, had to delete it and recreate for it to work, but was able to get it to the phone.
    So I won't delete the original post, maybe someone else will have similar problems. Hopefully I won't be back to edit this response once I get to 10 or 15 numbers.

  • 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 charger not supported

    when i plug in my nokia charger, it says charger not supported, what shall i do, the charger works on my sisters nokia 6300 but not mine!!!

    There is a little chip inside the phone that if it is faulty or damaged you get this message.
    If it was sealed and brand new then i would put it down to a poorly manufactured handset.
    The shop needs to take this back and replace it for you.

  • BH104 & Nokia 6300 could not be paired

    We bought a new bluetooth device BH 104.... When we try to pair it, it is not detected by any mobile (Nokia 6300 / S302 / W700i(sony ericsson))...Did any one had the same problem with BH 104 and could any one hep me out in sorting out this issue..

    Are you putting the BH-104 in pairing mode when you are trying to search for it with your phone? Look in the manual that came in the box, it will explain how to put the device in pairing mode,usually you hold down two buttons when turning it on etc.
    Once it i in pairing mode you can search for devices in the  phones bluetooth menu and it should find it, enter the pass code 0000 and it should connect and pair successfully.

  • 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,

    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!

  • 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 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.
