I cant get mt SE W800i to turn off. Its brand new straight out the box. It turns on ok and everything works fine, but when i press the power button to turn it off, nothing happens. Am i missing something here or is the handset faulty?
Please help. Thanks.

First thing i would do is open the battery case, lift the battery out enough for the phone to turn off. Sometimes they have a funny five minutes !
If the problem continues I would be speaking to whoever supplied it and ask them to replace it.

Make sure you are pressing down and holding the power button down until it shuts down. Takes 2 to 3 seconds on mine. |

Like the previous poster wrote, you have to hold the power button down, not press it. You press it to turn it on and hold it to turn it off.

@MK5.ESCORT I was assuming that you have already tried holding the on/off button for a few seconds long enough to have the phone switch off.
Only resort to what I have suggested above if nothing else is working.

Thanks guys (and gals?)
Yeah i tried holding the button down for 10 seconds as per SE advice.
Looks like its a phone call to Orange then for a replacement.
Just unlocked this one and flashed it to sim free spec too. Back to square 1 again!

Yeh, they should be able to swap it for a new one.
Make sure the key lock is not active when you try to switch it off. |
