Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks,

@PAVAND
Whilst you have got to expect the worst and loss of all data about all that you can do is:-
1) Try keeping power button depressed for 8 seconds until (hopefully) 3 vibrations felt and then re-start normally.
2) Try three button depressed power on "hard reset" remembering to release power button only after 1st vibration and other three after Nokia "Shaking hands" logo appears.
3) Return device under warranty if applicable.

Nokia 5610 with dead(?) screen

Hey guys I seem to have a problem!
I was uploading some mp3 to my newly bought Nokia 5610,
I got it 3 weeks ago. I installed the latest software etc etc. Now here we go: I was uploading the mp3's and at some point I had to go to college, and I thought it be alright if I just left my phone on the desk so it could upload the songs while I was gone, and it'd be done by the time I would get back.
Then I thought that maby the battery would be empty soon if it was uploading all the time, so I got my charger, and I plugged it in the mobile... and then suddenly the screen went black. I was like... euh? O.o what was that.
So I start looking at what could be wrong (no i didnt open the device exept of taking out the SIM card and battery and back in again so my warrenty is still intact) Its pretty weird, the screen is black, but when I put it 'on' it vibrates 1 time as normal, I see black letters "Nokia" apear on a dark grey screen. And then nothing happends. The only thing noticable is that the screen goes from total black to dark grey for 2 seconds, it does this 3 times and then it stays black. And then I can push 'on' again and the exact same happends again.
So I thought, maby the battery went dead? I put in the charger again, and this time it kept on going from black to grey untill I unplug the charger. Also when I connect the USB to my computer, the pc finds the 'new device' and then immediatly it disconnects again. This happends everytime the 'cycle' starts again (going black to grey 3 times and then black). So it seems like it is going On, and then after the screen goes black for the last time it is turned Off again.
Its the only thing I see, nothing apears on the screen exept "nokia' (in a weird place aswell, at the middle-bottom instead of the middle where it normally apears).
I'm bashed... I bought this mobile 3 weeks ago, never dropped it or anything. Nothing seems to be damaged either, from the outside at least.
It was all fine untill this morning. Now im not sure wether it was because of uploading the mp3's, or because I plugged in the charger, or combination of either.
Again its about the Nokia 5610 Xpress Music, Has anyone encountered this problem or has suggestions? Else I'm afraid I will just have to get it back to a repair center in Amsterdam (after I told al my friends my new number and said that they could delete my old 1 :/)
Any help is appreaciated!

Well mate, the only experience i have with this phone (I have the same as yours) is that you should bring it back to a nokia care centre (for locations see posts above) and tell them what the problem is, then they should update/flash the software. In the worst case they will send it to external repairs, which will cost a few weeks (2-4). That is what is happening to my mobile as I'm typing...
Just ask them if they cant do it right in the store, they should be able to. Try to avoid that it is send to external repair as that will cost alot of time. It will help you to understand if you read the a/discussions/board/message?board.id=phones&message.id=34235

Nokia booklet is dead

Hi, I do know, there is a small partition , and a big one with windows on the netbook. The small one seems to hold stuff need it to start. My son installed Ubuntu 10.10 with pausdlbo drivers, but took th total disk.....now it is dead. What to do I do need any help Thank you all.........

Hi greasergirl,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions,
How unfortunate that your Nokia booklet has stopped working. The best option if the Booklet is not responding is to restore the Nokia booklet to it's factory settings.
This can simply be done by pressing F8.
You need to press F8 before the operating system logo appears.
In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Advanced Boot
Options > Repair your Computer.
On the second screen choosing “ImageX recovery utility” should reset the system to factory defaults. Be sure to plug the Booklet 3G in.
The entire process should take less than 30 minutes
Hope this helps,

Hi, cacciuc. How's your phone? Can you confirm if you are using the cable that came with the phone? Do you have a computer that you can use to connect your phone instead of using the tablet? What happen when you try connecting it t a wall charger? Did you happen to see any indicator that it is charging? Make sure to use the charger that came with the phone. You can also try pressing and holding the volume down and the power button at the same time for 10-15 seconds. The phone will restart and it will refresh the phone settings. Hope this helps. Let us know the outcome.

Nokia N95 Crashed,Dead

I have tried to update my Nokia N95 software and accidentally
unplug my USB cable. I lost everything on it id dead (Crashed)
I took it to Nokoa service (Australia) but they couldn't help me
as I purchased my N95 in Hong Kong It is not under warranty I offer to in cash, they told me to send it back to HK to get it fixed. Is NOKIA No.1 my understanding is they should be able to fix it anywhere in the World their product (N95) Can anyone help me please

I personally have had trouble with a Nokia Care Centre in Australia. I believe from what I have been told that the ncc's in Australia have no connection with Nokia. They are privately owned and operated service centre's and service Nokia phones on behalf of Nokia Australia. As you purchased your phone in HK it is probably outside of their scope to repair it. I would suggest that you telephone the Nokia Australia call centre (phone number in white pages phone book) and seek their guiedance.

Nokia 6500 Slide dead after update

So, I updated to the latest firmware. Everything was fine until the phone restarted. Nokia Software update showed me that update last's for 15 minutes.. I waited. 15, 30.. And so, finally I gave up.
It updated too long, and I decided to try if my phone starts, because it had to restart, but it did not. Phone just shut down, and nothing else. Before attempting the update, I was sure that battery was almost full. So there were no battery alerts in this update.- I've tried to take battery out and keep it like this for 5 minutes. It helped, phone buttons lights and screen started to work, but after 5 seconds it shuts down automatically. So I tried to do this more and more, but it did not help at all.
After trying this battery out method for multiple times, phone went to very strange condition. I took the battery out, but screen and buttons were on. Like what the heck was that? Phone worked without battery on?
Before this awful update fail, my nokia was in perfect condition. No marks of damage or anything else, it was a well cared phone, so I personally think that the problem was not caused by hardware.
What should I do next? I really need my nokia right now.
Phone is Nokia 6500s-1 _____Type: RM-240

You need to send it to your local Nokia Care Point. There is nothing else you can try yourself.

Nokia booklet 3g dead

i was trying to update bios of my nokia booklet 3g and power cut off and my device stop working and now its not turning on what to do?

You need to contact Nokia care or a Nokia care point to see if they can help you.

You may also want to try asking on a forum that deals with PC hardware to see if the people there know how to recover from a failed bios update. You should be able to find forums like that by searching google.

Nokia 5230 completely dead

Hello,
I was normally using my Nokia 5230, finding that I can not access the radio. So I have tried to switch Nokia off to start it again, but.....
My Nokia has black screen, call buttons and menu button are lighted, but I have tried different keystrokes, but nothing is happening. I found some keystroke - left call button, right call button, camera key - nothing is happening.
What should I do? I am afraid to remove the battery, as the phone is switched on..... Is there some manual reset button?
Please, could you help me? I am little bit nervous,
Jirka

You have run out of options unfortunately and you would need device switched off to carry out three key depressed power on "hard reset" that you mentioned; co-incicentally sometimes removing battery for 10 minutes and then replacing can clear issues.
Probably the only reason for not switching it off was if trying to establish connectivity with PC or OVI Suite for backup purposes, but unlikely to function if device compromised anyway.

Nokia 'repairs' - N8 dead again

Hi all,
When you return your dead phone to a dealer (O2 in my case) it gets sent off for repair. Do they really repair them or just re-flash the firmware?
So far I've had 1 replacement handset and 1 'repair', but I still I can't seem to get an N8 that works for more than a few weeks before it totally dies (even 3 fingered salute doesn't do anything).
It died again today - guess I'll be back at the O2 shop tomorrow. Is there anything I can do to ensure they do more than just re-flash the firmware?

Before you send in for repair, do the following:
1) Dial *#06# and get the IMEI number.
2) Loosen the Torx screw on either side just slightly. And pick a position to remember, like one of the 6 pointed legs to point straight up or split.
When you get the phone back, if the IMEI number is different, then you got a replacement phone.
If the Torx screws are still loose the way you did them, then they simply reflashed the phone.
Hope this helps you in determining if O2 is doing anything at all.

MY NOKIA N73 NOW DEAD AFTER UPDATING TO FIRMWARE 3...

Hi ladies and gents
looks like other folks have had thier lovely new shiny n73's turned into paperwieghts.
followed the instructions to the letter, everything looked like it was working, the updater asked me to remove the battery and the charger for a few secs then press/hold the on button for a few secs...................then the updating process continues but then i get a message saying the update process failed and to try again which i did, only for the same thing to happen two more times!!!!??????
just wondering what other ownwers experiences have been like perforrming the above firmware update. any advice would be appriciated.

When the Software updater prompts you to do that, DO NOT unplug the phone or remove the battery at any stage. Simply check that the phone has no active connections running in the back round and click try again. The same thing happened with my N70-1 as I was using the phone as a modem at the same time that I was updating the software. I ;et the file download then when it prompted me to remove the battery I simply disconnected the modem and clicked try again and it updated with no issues at all.
