Problems with a 3120 - shuts off randomly

Hi there.
I've owned my Nokia 3120 for about 2 and a half years now, so I guess it may be getting a little long in the tooth, but I haven't had any problems with it. Recently however, it has begun shutting off randomly, possibly as a result of the odd bump and scrape it's taken through the years (I have a toddler, and toddlers love to throw things). Any advice on what could be happening to the phone, and if I'm probably better off getting a new phone?

Well, the plot has thickened on this particular little beastie. It hasn't shut off randomly in a bit - but I've noticed that if I try to write a text message 9/10 times it will freeze if I type more than about 15 characters and will stay like that a sec, go blank, and then return to the normal wallpaper screen as if nothing had happened with no backlight. It takes a sec for it to read the sim card, and then I can use my phone as normal, providing I don't want to text anyone.
I do not believe that the battery connections have anything to do with this problem, judging from the fact that I have swapped the battery and ensured that the pins connecting it to the phone are in the same order as the phone I swapped the battery from.

  • I have the Iphone 5, and it shuts off randomly and the screen glitches. I have taken it into verizon and had it reset but the problem still continues. Is the only way to fix the problem to get a new phone?

    I have the Iphone 5, and it shuts off randomly and the screen glitches. I have taken it into verizon and had it reset but the problem still continues. Is the only way to fix the problem to get a new phone? Also, why is it if I do need a new phone I can only get a refurbished one when I am paying insurance every month?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • Mac Pro keeps shutting off randomly

    Hey guys,
    My Macbook Pro keeps shutting off randomly. Its been doing it for a few months now and I was finally able to restore it to factory settings to see if that would fix the problem but it hasnt. Sometimes it will shut off every five minutes, other times it will be maybe once an hour. I've noticed that it is more likely to shut off when I'm visiting youtube or watching a video/viewing a site with lots of pictures.
    By "shutting off" I mean that the screen goes black and I have to hold down the power button until it completely turns off and then restart it.
    When I turn my computer back on it sometimes has a reason for the problem, which I copied and pasted below:

    Kara436,
    some 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pros are known to have a defect in their NVIDIA GPUs. Given the symptoms which you’d described, yours might have that defect also. Apple had a gratis servicing program for three years from the MacBook Pro’s date of purchase; they still offer the servicing, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis. I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro, which will confirm whether or not its NVIDIA GPU has the defect.

  • Brand new Thunderbolt display shuts off randomly

    I've had a new ThunderBolt Display for less than a month paired with a brand-new Mac Mini (2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000)
    and the display just began shutting off randomly.
    I also have an external HD drive daisy chained via the display's Thunderbolt port that stops working once the display dies. Tried connecting the Mac Mini alone with no hard drive figuring it might be the drive but no the display still randomly shuts off. Any ideas or suggestions before I call Applecare?

    I have a similar setup and problem. My Thunderbolt display (refurb, purchased in February 2012) will randomly turn off, as if it went to sleep - but mouse/keyboard input does not wake it back up. The internal speakers will still output audio. Disconnecting/reconnecting the Thunderbolt cable from the attached Mac Mini (2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, OS X 10.7.5, AMD Radeon HD 6630M ) will not resolve the issue. Disconnecting/reconnecting the display's power cord and the Thunderbolt cable from the Mac Mini will resolve the issue temporarily. This began happening maybe a month or two ago, and has probably happened 10 times in the last 30 days. It is completely random, and I have yet to be able to duplicate it on demand.
    Steps taken to attempt to fix the issue:
    Confirmed Energy Saver Settings
    Confirmed Software up to date (OS 10.7.5)
    Attempted Firmware Updates (message states not needed)
    Reset NVRAM
    Reset SMC (unplugging computer)

    As well as other discussions concerning random flickering issues with the display.
    Since I'm still under warranty, I took my display to a Genius Bar today. The rep didn't really seem to want to hear about what I found on these discussion boards. He says you can pretty much find anything you want to find here, and since it is unmoderated it is not a reliable source of information. I let him know that the issue (as far as I can tell) occurs with different models of Mac Mini's, MB Pros & MB Airs, suggesting it is in fact an issue with the display and not what's connected to it. I added that most folks who reported bringing the displays in for service ultimately ended up with a replacement display, as the service done on the defective display proved to not resolve the issue - but I would of course defer to his judgement.
    He decided that they would order and replace the LCD panel. He assured me they would keep the display powered on for 12-24 hours after the service to ensure the issue has been resolved. Truthfully, I am not optimistic. And for the amount it costs to replace the panel ($833.32 from the provided estimate), I speculate this course of action will end up being much more costly for them in the long run. But we shall see!
    I will be sure to provide updates as they come.  Wish me luck!

  • IMac G5 non-isight shutting off randomly

    My iMac g5 keeps shutting off randomly during use. I have a niMac G5, non-isight and it stays on for 30 mins, an hour, or 3 hours and then shuts off as if someone is pulling the power cord out.
    Upon starting up, sometimes it doesn't make it to the login screen before shutting down again. It runs normal for a while, then it would randomly turn off. I have downloaded heat temp monitor programs and it seems to get to about 70 degrees celcius sometimes. Upon restarting, I get the "report problem to apple" screen with this information. I have tried to restart the power supply too.

    The problem is a thermal one, somehow there's a malfunction and the computer shuts down because it's overheating. You should take it in and have the power supply looked at. You can also take the bgack off and check the capacitors to see if any of them is swollen or leaking.
    Let us know how you make out,

  • Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • SCREEN SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY

    My screen shuts off randomly
    at least twice a day.
    This is what I get after force quit my laptop and turn on.
    I went to apple store and they said just to open up and check what is wrong cost $300~350
    and to fix this problem and replace inside (they said it might be the water spilled inside but that never happened so i don't know what he is talking about.....) is going to cost $1240
    They already replaced my hardware one or two months ago and I dont get why this suddenly happens when i didnt not even spill water.
    i feel like there should be cheaper way.
    and the guy who was trying to find out what the problem is with my laptop
    seemed like he doesnt know anything about this.
    Does anyone recommend some other way so i dont have to waste my $1240+@ with a problem that they are not even sure...?

    Mine just started doing this as did a coworker's (she has a 4 not 4S). We're both on Verizon. I just updated to the latest Verizon Carrier settings and then it started so I thought that was the issue, but since you're having this since March, I don't knwo any more. Prior to this though, mine was taking random screenshots when I'd hit the home button.

  • IPhone 5s shuts off randomly

    I purchased my iPhone 5s a week ago and two days ago, it started to shut off randomly. Holding the Wake/Sleep button boots the phone up again, but when the bright screen with the Apple logo dimms a little bit, it doesn't change to the Home Screen, but completly shuts down again. Hard reset won't help. The only solution is by plugging it to the USB cable and start charging. Then the phone reboots twice and goes to the Home Screen and is usable. Battery is at 83%.
    This is really annoying because it switches off randomly. You can't be reached or send texts when you need it. It happens 6-10 times per day and not always is a charger around to boot it up again. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Have you find the fix?
    My phone shut off randomly too. the apple comes and goes, i can not get access to it
    I wonder if IT Apple read these comments. I am thinking to move to a reliable phone.

  • MBP shuts off randomly

    My 15-inch MBP (bought May 2009, running 10.5.8) has recently been shutting off randomly, sometimes upwards of 10 times a day if I am using it a lot.
    I first suspected this as a battery problem, because the only way I can keep it from shutting down is by keeping it plugged into a power source (it has never shut down when plugged in). However, I have a second battery that I bought in 2010, and the exact same problem occurs regardless of which battery I have inside.
    Although sometimes the shut offs are random, sometimes it will happen if i sit my MBP on a desk not-so-gently (but not hard either), or if I drop something not-so-gently onto the area below my keyboard. Also, it almost always shuts down when I close the lid and put it into my backpack.
    I don't know too much about the interior hardware, but my best guess was there is a faulty area where the computer power attaches to the battery source, and when somethign disturbs that connection then the computer shuts off?
    Any thoughts?

    Hi wpetraska;
    When I got my MBP, I was having the same problem. Since it was brand new, I took it into the Apple Store. They looked at it and told me there was fault with the logic board. It would have to be replaced. Two days later I got it back and it has worked great ever since.

  • My macbook shuts off randomly, how do I know what's causing this and prevent it from happening again?

    My macbook shuts off and I kept a journal for it because mine's got complications.
    July 1, 2014 (Tuesday)
    I spilled a cup of choclate milk on my keyboard, it was soaked! But my battery was drained so I know nothing had short out. So I turned it over and never tried to turn it on.
    July 2
    I went to the nearest apple center and asked them to clean it for me. (I knew it wasn't a good idea to clean it myself) They put it in a plastic bag but I asked them to open it as soon as possible so I know what parts are affected. They told me they'd take a picture of the inside for me and go back after an hour. Milk was still inside everywhere so I asked them to take it in.
    July 8
    I called to get an update on my mac and they said it wasn't economically practical to repair it because they recommended a full system replacement. I got depressed and accepted my Mac's fate. But what's annoying is I put my mac in on July 2 and they only tried to clean it in July 5 which makes me think that was the reason my mac was irreparable.
    July 9
    I took my mac and tried to find another opinion but I showed the diagnostics from the apple store and they said they couldn't fix it. My parents were getting ready to buy a new one.
    July 13
    I realized that my mac didn't have charge when milk spilled on it so I tried to charge it and BOOM IT OPENED. They keyboards were sticky and it takes a moment before my computer reacts to the trackpad but it works! Even all the keys works! But it doesn't charge.
    After lunch, it was workingp perfectly and my batteries were at 30% charge! I was really happy!
    (in the interval my mac works perfectly, it stays for normal 7 hours when battery is charged fully)
    However at July 19
    There was no electricity for four days (A typhoon came in the Philippines) and my battery is about 7% so I went to the public market to get it charge while I wait for electricity. I charged it for about 3 hours and sideways because it was inside my backpack while it charged so noone will notice it. When I got home and opened my laptop, it shut off randomly after my desktop appeared after start up. So I was sad.
    July 20
    I found a solution online to use the option-shift-power button my mac opened and worked normally!
    July 21
    My computer was normal in the morning then in the afternoon it shut off again after I waked it up from sleep. Tried option-shift for about 3-5 times before it worked with varying intervals from 5-20 minutes each
    July 22
    I get nervous when I use it but it worked perfectly I was even able to edit with Final-cut pro and HD clips.
    Wednesday
    Worked perfectly in the morning but in the afternoon, after waking it up from sleep it won't turn on tried the option-shift then I tried resetting the SMC for about three times (my mac is a unibody) but it didn't turn on the whole evening.
    Today Thursday morning July 24
    I tried to reset SMC first thing in the morning after the thing won't turn on. After about an hour, I tried to turn my mac on normally and it opened. So what I did is to back up all my files. (It took the whole afternoon) and at night I ran diagnostics (D during start up) and no threats were found
    Haven't been experiencing the trouble, as of the moment I'm writing this Jul 25, Friday (12:13 AM) HK time Philippines.
    So what I'm asking here is what do I do to make sure this doesn't occur anymore. I probably written a very detailed log. So what else (diagnostics and other) should I do to prevent this from happening again. School starts in August and I will need my laptop to work perfectly to let me go through college with less burden. Thank you and I hope you reply. Any more questions about details on my Mac will be answered

  • My iphone shuts off randomly and the button is too sensitive. Like I don't even press the lock button and it shuts off. This happened after the 7.1 update. It's on the iphone 5.

    My iphone shuts off randomly and the button is too sensitive. Like I don't even press the lock button and it shuts off. Also when my finger barely rubs over the lock button, it shuts off too. This happened after the 7.1 update. It's on the iphone 5. Someone help me. I just want to fix this. Maybe if it's possible I can disable the lock button.

    The lock button does not turn OFF the iPhone. It will give you a screen with the option to turn OFF the iPhone. Possibly the battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple store for free battery diagnostic testing and evaluation.

  • My macbook pro shuts off randomly?

    So my MacBook Pro has shut itself down twice in the past two days.  It shuts off randomly, takes about 45-60 seconds before I can turn it back on, and when I turn back my date and time settings are way off (ie the most recent time it said that it was Monday, November something, 2012, at 4:02 pm, when it was really Wednesday January 21, 2015, and 5:25 pm).  I have a frayed charger cable, and it has been plugged in during both shutdowns.  I have a new one on its way, but I cannot stop using this one yet, because I am a college student and I need my laptop, and none of my friends/roommates has a MacBook with the proper charger for mine, so I can't use any of theirs.  Any explanations?

    Hello pinkpanda376,
    For random shut off issues, I would take a look at resetting the SMC on your MacBook Pro as well as taking a look at the battery to make sure that it is still running normal on you. Look at the articles below for more information to get you started.

  • IPHONE 5 shuts off randomly after update

    After I updated to 8.3 last week, my phone started shutting off randomly. It will say I have no battery (not every time) then come back and say I have 42% It's really ******* me off, becuse I will be in the middle of doing mail or writing a text and it shuts off

    The lock button does not turn OFF the iPhone. It will give you a screen with the option to turn OFF the iPhone. Possibly the battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple store for free battery diagnostic testing and evaluation.

  • HT1476 Shut off randomly

    If there is dust in the 30 pin could it shut off randomly ?? or could it be the battery "replaced recently"

    Hello, Jaydin.c333. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are some helpful troubleshooting steps to go through when experiencing this issue.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    If the issue persists, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.

  • IdeaCentre a730 shuts off randomly/overheats

    IdeaCentre a730 shuts off randomly, especially when you play a dvd or do other graphics intensive stuff. I ran the Lenovo fan diagnostic utility and it doesn't detect any fan. I also ran speedfan, it doesn't show any fans either, but it does show the temps of the cpu cores. I've never seen them get below 100F. If you're not doing anything, they will stay around 115F-140F ish. The fan is on. When I use handbrake (which converts between video codecs) the fan kicks into gear and speeds way up. So, the fan does blow. Also, I tried one of those laptop cooling pads (with 3 fans). It seems to run about 5 degrees cooler, but I still get the random shutdowns. I also tried running it without the cover, and that will drop the temp about 5 degrees (on average) also. So, What temps should this thing be running at? Does running the Lenovo fan diagnostic (and having it not find a fan) mean the fan isn't working? Even though the fan blows? How do I get a new fan? Or, is it something else...? Lastly, I couldn't find anything in the BIOS regarding fan settings?  Thanks. 

    Hi Mezzi
    Yes, the clogged cooling ventilators and bad air circulation could cause such high temperature and could lead to the point where the notebook would shut down automatically to prevent the hardware from damage.
    You should also know that all internal devices would run with best performance while playing a game and due to high heat dissipation the temperature would arise to a critical level.
    Therefore it's really important to ensure that the cooling grilles are free and not clogged by any dust and other objects...
    Anyway, you said that your warranty is still valid and therefore I would strongly recommend contacting the ASP guys (authorized service partner) in your country and to explain your notebook issue.
    I'm sure the technician could help you!
    Good luck and best regards mate.
