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!
James

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.

    Why would I want to make a hard reset and loose all my data if the phone doesn´t start properly, when I can simply take the battery out for 20 minutes and everything gets back to "normal"?!
    phonehacker, I hope you gave this poor advise because you haven´t read the thread...otherwise you don´t know what you´re talking about...

  • Nokia 5800 wont start

    My nokia 5800 xp. fell in water half year ago , then i taked it out of water, taked battery off and i dried it four days and dried with a foam too. then after that phone worked fine with no problems... and now it wont start, its  only vibrates. i tried force start but nothing. i taked memoy card off and sim card off ...nothing..   i remember two days ago some problems started ( if i started recharging battery then phone recharged for some time and then said that battery is full) ... do someone know what to do... i think there is some hope, because its vibrates
    sorry, cause my english not too good

    Well unfortunately after you have dropped your phone in water it will most likely end its days due to corrosion after some time, but it could be other things too.
    What you mean about force start? Hard reset?
    If you haven't tried that, it's worth a shot, but if done successfully it will wipe contacts, messages etc off the phonememory. Otherwise you will have to take it to a Nokia care point for help.

  • Nokia E6 Wont start up

    Hi folks
    Its been three month since i bought my Nokia E6, I was pretty happy with the phone uptil Yesterday.
    I pulled down the screen lock rocker to check for any updates, but there was no display. the backlights were all on though, i tried swithcing off using the power button, but it wont switch off, so i removed the batt, after that the phone simply refused to boot up. when i pressed the power button it giave me the usual vibrartion and thats it. No display/backlight or anything. I tried removing the SIM and battery and then re-inserting just the battery and then turned it on but still same result. When i put it on charge it gives me the usual blip and the charging LED blinks at times..but the phone will not start up.

    I just started having the same problem. I called Nokia and it sounds like it isn't even covered under the 1 year limited warranty so they send you to their approved repair center, Palco Cell Phone Repair (palcocellphonerepair.com). I called them, 256-883-3434 and they tell you an estimate of the cost for repair after detailing the issue. Cost is $90 after Shipping & Handling and there is no guarantee on fixing the issue but if they can't fix, you pay $23 (with S&H).
    If anyone has any other options, the information would be greatly appreciated. I really like this phone!
    Thanks!

  • Nokia 1325 wont start

    Hi all
    I have a Nokia 1325 that after charging will not start up. The screen flashes every two seconds and it only shows the battery bar. The only way to turn it off is take the battery out. I have tried to reboot it buy holding down * 3 and the green button and turning it on but nothing! Does anyone have any other ideas? By the way the warranty just ran out. Murpheys law aye!

    this is a very basic phone , the code that you are stating is only for the s60 devices will not work on yours. the only thing that you can do is take it to nokia care for service

  • Nokia 5230 wont start.

    Hi,
    I got a screen message saying: "Insert Sim card."
    And since it already was in, I desided to take it out and put it back in.
    But now when i  try to turn it on, it only gives me a white screen, then it vibrates
    and after a while it shuts down again.
    What is the problem?
    (Battery is recharged)

    It would appear that the only option you have left to try a hard reset, which is done on phones like this by holding down the green, red and camera keys whilst you switch the phone on. They all need to be kept pressed until the Nokia logo appears, this should force a hard reset. If this doesn't work, you would need to take it to a Nokia service point.
    Regrettably, without the phone switching on your data is lost, and the hard reset process will wipe it anyway, so if you don't have a recent backup you will lose some stuff.

  • 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 8GB IP Problem

    hello..
    my nokia n95 8gb started giving me problems... when i open the browser it says no gateway reply.. i tried everything which i found on the forums and discussions... i checked my router and came to find that the ip which my device has is
    169.xxx.xxx.xx which i can think is a type of a limited connectivity which happens in computers.
    then i tried giving an ip manually and even that didnt help... i tried a soft reset and even that didnt help..
    i can search for wireless networks. i can connect to them.. but i cannot browse or use any application through wifi... please help thanks alot.

    I have the same problem with the 1gb model, I have 500+MB free and it still locks up at about 35-36 mins. I have tryed several different files, uploaded in mp4 format. The sound continues and the picture freezes? Help???

  • Nokia N95-2 (8GB) Button Problem(Pls Help)

    Hello all.
    few days ago,my nokia n95 8gb started to making problems.
    The (*) star button is pushing itself...
    when i dont touch phone,its just typing (*) by itself...
    i though it was virus or something,so i first restarted it to factory settings,but it didnt worked.
    i even formated it with (Green,* and 3) buttons but it didnt helped.
    so the point is,i cant make calls,becouse its typing (*) by itself,and i can do nothing...
    Also the problem is,that there is no nokia center in Bosnia and Herzegovina,sto i dont know what to do....
    Any reply will help.
    Thanks in advance...

    unfotunately it looks like a physical problem, and the only solution would be care point, I would suggest contacting Nokia direct, and possibly posting the handset to the closeset repair centre.
    Good Luck
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
