Try taking the battery out and put it back in with no sim card and hold the power button down for 10 seconds or more.
If not...
take it to a service centre if its less than 12 months old its covered under warrenty...

ii have tried to take the battery of for 2-3min and then tried to start it up. nothing happens.
i called to one of our local service center now.. and going to take the phone there.. but i dont know if the guarantee is still left?
S700i isnt so old i think? a friend to me that has worked on a service center here... said that S700i is stiill new so the fabricguarantee is still working
sorry for my grammar

Same thing happened to mine. Its a bugger isn't it? :-( You can tell how old the handset is. There is the date on the sticker that you see when remove the battery. It will say something like 05W15 which is Year 05 Week 15. Mine was purchased about 3 weeks after it was made so this is a reasonable indication. If you send it to SE They will request proof of purchase. If it is on contract they should do it free of charge.

Ok, whas your phone fixed? what was the failing thing?
The problem is that the phone is my fathers old phone
and i have an overtake. So i dont have any receipt.
I went to Dialect hear localy.. and told him that it doesnt work.. blablabla.. he agreed after he tried to turn it on. He felt the vibration.. then nothing more happend. He took it and wrote me a receipt so i can get my phone back then... after i have checked with my father if he got a receipt for order...
If not then i have to take the phone back and cant do anything about it if i dont wanna pay
cant understand what can be wrong!!
For now i have my T630 phone
good to save old phones

Shit!
I wrote a mail to my father.. and asked him if its older then a year and it is.. so i dont know what to do.
Throw it away??
Maybe get another phone? a new one.. are there any new phone that is better then S700i? then i want to get that
K750i?
DAMN!!!

Sell the phone on Ebay or something, it will be worth something to someone in parts, the screen alone if intact is probably worth at least £50!

our service center told me that the cost will be about €100-200
and it could be systemcard or displaycard that is corrupt.

Mine was fixed under warranty and returned to me in about 10 days. Have you checked the date on the sticker? How old is it? If it is over a year old then it must be a very early handset because I think the model was only released last October. When was it made?
Posted by orfeous
i must get it back from service center
please can i add you at MSN or ICQ?

they are idiots. First thing is to reflash the phone with latest firmware, often the software dies when installing java, surfing on gprs, etc. This can be solved with a firmware upgrade. If after reflash still doesnt work is the hardware fault and that can be very expensive. But try first a clean flash.

04W41 does my phones backplate says under the battery.
then its "created" 2004 week 41?
isnt week 41 in october?
Posted by goldenface
Week 41 begins Monday 10th October so you have 4 weeks left of the Warranty :-D. Get a receipt and send it off to them. Good Luck!
Posted by orfeous
ok, good.. but it is still problems..
my father is retailer and have got this phone as sample.
so its hard to get a reciept of something that he has be giving by free
so what to do? try another store?
Posted by goldenface
I would ring them anyway just to check. Its worth a try. . .

YES!!! i have life in my phone now !!!
i used davinci and flashed with newest firmware..
and when i turned the phone on after that it said.. "please wait.."
then i waited.. and then it said.. "insert SIM" so i inserted the sim..
but then it said.. "Configuration error...blabla.. contact provider or..."
then i couldnt do anything more
the good is that i can insert my charger and charge the phone
so it seems that all was a software thing...
what can i try now? flash from SE homepage? why is the phone telling me that the configuration is wrong? have i flashed with wrong firmware? i live in sweden so i selected the Europe 4... i think it was.. "NO DK SV" etc... i think SV is sweden??

i told you that is software problem
. You could try recovery option with seus , or with davinci again, maybe didnt make the finalization. Or just go to a gsm service, is cheap to reflash these days.[ This Message was edited by: petrutms on 2005-09-13 18:08 ]

seus is that SE flash page on their hompage?
i used this.. S700i_FS_EU4_generic_R3M008_CID29.DVT and
S700i_MAIN_EMEA_EU_US_R3M008.DVT
No, the finalazion didnt complete because of i hadnt enough with credits..
just bought 1
why didnt this worked before when i tried to flash from SE homepage??

well, you found the problem. You must make the finalization to make the phone work. I dont know why didnt worked before with seus(update service), but now must work, recovery option recommended. Or just make the finalization with another credit...but is strange, i know that davinci flash is free, only finalization costs 1 credit.
Posted by orfeous
Okey, what is SEUS? is that what i do on the SE homepage?
i installed a little program
hope it will work.
ok, i did the finalization in davinci and it failed.. so i think my credit went gone there... bad that it isnt free everything...
why buying...
Posted by orfeous
the phone is working again..
it seemed to be a DSS problem
reinstalled and it worked direct.
did a finalization..

Hooray!!
