its just that i live in colchester and there are not alot of people here with a V800 let alone a 3g phone.
Looks like I'm going to have to make a trip to London.
Know any places that can do this for me?
for cheap as well :'( Wasted my money on davinci

ok,
Are you able to flash the recovery file? If so then after flashing this leave the phone on charge. I promise you all you is a full battery to repair that phone maybe best with T28 cable aswell - Davinci is exactly the same concept as what any service center or anyone in London will do. |

if its not turning on then its not charging, you will have to charge it in another phone, i learned this with my k500i.

Well get a T28 and we will just fix with setool, the problem is not the phone but the battery. By the way dead phones can charge battery  it only sometimes works - thats why i suggested leaving it on charge for at least 2 hours. |

yeah i'll leave it on charge all night and see how it goes by the morning.
But even if it was the battery that is making it not switch on, I should get an error message right? since the finalization never finishes.
Strange thing is, when I plug it into the charger the leds on the camera light up, and thats not normal..
edit: correction, the screen and outer screen light up very dimly as well.
thanks for being cool g

quick question.
Would it be a good idea to go into the voda store and tell them I bought the phone outside of the UK (pick a random voda country)
and just moved here for vacation?

just say it stopped working? it was in your pocket you took it out to make a call and you noticed that it wasn't working at all, and that you've tried to charge it but it still won't work?
I don't think they'll help you mind you as you don't have anything at all that says you bought it from them.
but best of luck with getting it fixed legitamitly
