  • Sounds like it could be a software fault, can you actually power it to the stage where you can make a call ? And did you send or recieve anything by bluetooth just before it went off ?
  • it turns on loads up and then turns straight off and sometimes will try to turn back on by itself

  • Yeah it does sound like a software fault, these phones have had quite a few problems like that, certain firmwares are going wrong,usually just after sending or revieving something via bluetooth. Your phone will need Re-Flashing, you should be able to get this done for free from the company the phone is from, if you didnt buy it new mobile repair shops charge about a fiver to do this mate.
  • thanks for the info my contract finished on the 4th feb typical so will try to find somewhere that can re-flash it just charging my old nokia 7600 lol :)
