Hi all i am after some help with my brothers K700i.

Yesterday it was working fine and now all of a sudden it will not turn on.
When you press the power button the screen turns white, it flashes on and off about 10 times then stops.

This is all it does.
Nothing happened to the phone, it was sat on my brothers desk all day and now it will not come on.

I have searched and cannot find anyone who has had the same problem.

Anyone got any ideas as to whats wrong!
Any help is much appreciated!

Sounds a bit like a software problem to me!

Hopefully reflashing it may help

That I am unsure of I'm afraid - a DSS-20 or 25 is needed for this.

You could give it a go - as the phone's not powering up anyway I guess you won't lose anything. Just make sure the battery is fully charged, and that you don't leave a sim in the phone
