Can't turn off my mobile

butterfly72

My Nokia (don't laugh - its a lovely little phone) 3600 won't turn off when I press the power button. I did drop it so I'm guessing thats the cause.

Anything I can do?

thanks

Short term solution - take the battery out.

Long term..... dunno, sorry.

If I take the battery out I might not be able to switch it back on!!

You asked about switching it off, and as the 1st replier suggested , take the battery out, indeed it may not switch back on, but it seems it is a software bug why the handset will not switch off, so once the battery is removed for 10 seconds to a minute, then re-powered you should be fine.
Then again if you are worried about the handset not coming back on, why do you want to switch it off?

Before you do anything, make sure your contacts are backed up!!!!!!
