Hi all, hope everyone has had a great christmas holiday!
my problem - my SONY ERICSSON T700
basically it has decided to become unfriendly, it will not send or receive messages and when i put it on to charge comes up with
SERIOUS ERROR. STOP CHARGING. STOP USING YOUR PHONE AND CONTACT A SONY ERICSSON CALL CENTER.
this message also comes up without the stop charging bit when i try to use the phone
Please help
thankyou

With a message like that it sounds as though something might have gone wrong with the battery management circuitry - this could be a problem as Lithium based batteries can be quite dangerous if overcharged. I suggest you follow the advice and call sony. It might be a good idea to remove the phones battery too - if it starts to swell up put it outside.0

thankyou
any idea if it would help if i just let it 'uncharge'?
i have unlocked the phone from its original network and i have had it longer than a year so not sure if sony would expect me to pay for advice from them - also would love if anyone has a phone number for them please
thanks again:T Thanks to all lovely MSE'rs - you are great friends :T0 -
That might work - how much charge do you think is in the battery?0
-
the battery is showing full
i left it charging overnight whilst i was away and the error started after that (it was showing when i picked up the phone):T Thanks to all lovely MSE'rs - you are great friends :T0 -
just had a quick look on google and quite a lot of people seem to have had the same problem.

If you connect the mobile to the computer. Go on the website there should be a software update on there which you can download. Alternatively why not treat yourself to a new mobile? No better time to buy one!0
