Hi all, I recently purchased a W900i from someone on this forum and im having problems... I turned it on tonight and the back light came on with a white screen and then it went off then it came back on then back off etc etc. this continues until I take the battery out. The power button does nothing, simply starts the process again.

It wont charge when connected to the charger either. I attempted an update and it picked the phone up and began updating... but pauses on the last bar (shown in pic) and stays like that for good.



Is my phone a £200 brick now?? Has it gone to phone heaven or what??

Im truly gutted... anything I can do?

Agreed, take it to your nearest service centre and see what they have to say.

It should still be under warranty, as the phone was released less than 12 months ago. Also I don't think the update service supports the W900i...
All the Way! Looking for a w705 PM me! Arizona
