Ok, ive had my 02 branded unlocked K800 for about 9 months with no problems.

Today i decided to check which of my old sim cards still had credit it on so i put in an orange, orange, 3, T-Mobile sim cards and everything was ok.

But when i re-inserted my main sim card the phone wouldnt power up.
With the battery cover off i can see the infra-red light flashing when i press the power button but the phone doesnt turn on.

Has anyone any ideas?

Cheers

you will need to reflash your phone.

i have had this with a w810i, and it worked fine after a reflash

EDIT: sounds more like the EROM has gone. i think wotanserver can reflash the erom, but im not too sure

@author your phone's battery is low... It is not dead...

You see the red light in Infrared? Right?

This is a known fault and is not a dead/low battery.

Hopefully that will help.
