n73 wont start up! - Esato archive

Posted by >500
My brother just came home with a nokia n73 from his contract upgrade.

The thing wont even turn on, hold the power button for ages, nothing, put the charger on, nothing, connected to the comp, the computer recognises it as a usb device, but the phone doesnt do anything, blank screen for everything, no power.

Any one help out? or should he just take it back to the shop?

cheers

sometimes you need to leave the phone plugged in and it'll show up as dead, but leave it for a few hours and then try.

most Nseries always have that..... try to update the firmware of the phone....

well its on charge. Usually if the phone is off and you put in on charge, the screen will come on say its charging. But nothings happening.

A firmware update, id have to go to a service centre wouldnt i? Or could i use the new update service

did you try plugging in the charger while the battery is NOT in the phone?
