Hi everyone i was just listening to some mp3 ons my phone and it switched itself off... now when i try to switch it on all it does is flash all its leds once and then go off... only to flash its leds again an stay off... i have tried everything like leavin the battery out wiping the contacts for everythin etc etc but still nothing.
So ne1 got an idea of what this could be? coz it got me bamboozled... lol.
Gonna replace it tomorrow but until then all ma fun has gone  |

oh dear oh dear, what a cufuffle. And this only happened when you put an mp3 onto your phone?
sounds like it needs a flash to me. Thanks for the warning though, definatley wont be doing that with my V800 
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

was the mp3 especially large, or unique in some way? This is quite an important issue, if people's phones are going to break when they listen to an mp3.

nope wasnt special in any way... an way smaller than most mp3s i had... about 1.3mb i think.... i jus had a smell of the fone an it smells like somethin has burnt in the fone or the battery coz it wont charge either no lights no nothin...
nice smell though... would love to bottle it an sell it as Burnt SE Odour... for those who love the smell of their fone.
LOL... all i can do is LOL until i fall asleep an forget my fone dont work!
In all the excitment i hadnt realised i hit 100 posts!!! YAY for me! WO for ma fone!

Didn't someone say that when the phone blinks like that it means that the EPROM/GDFS might be corrupted?
The smell is weird though. |
