Nokia 7210

Options
Hi

Can anyone out there help shed some light on a problem I'm having with my phone?

I will be using it fine one minute and the next the screen turns blue!! When I press any other button I can hear the fone working well but I just cant see anything. If I turn it off and back on a few times the screen will work again but only for a short time. This happenens no matter the network.

Thanks to anyone who may be able to help as this is becoming very frustrating. I did buy another fone but has recently been stolen so I am back to using this one.

    Before wading in with a new screen, try removing the old one and cleaning the contacts with a clean, dry toothbrush. Then refit the screen and try again. Changing the screen should be the last option.

    All the best

    Was it left in the sun? It might go like that when too hot
