Cell Phone Shut Off Won'T Tun Back On

[orchidlady]

The battery was in the red zone and shut off by itself. I charged it overnight and it won't turn on. I took the battery out (phone A) and put it in another Nokia phone (phone . Phone B turned on so it isn't the battery.. I took the battery from phone B and put it in phone A ...it won't turn on either. I've tried two apparently good batteries in the phone...what could have happened? The phone is about 2 years old

Depending on the exact model there are often key press combinations which can perform a master reset of the phone.

Example: To perform a hard reset on a Nokia phone that won't turn on, press simultaneously these 3 buttons: on/off + * + 3

Note that this will probably not work for your model, but maybe you can Google your model along with related text: "Nokia Z-45 won't restart master reset".

I had one of the cheaper Nokia phones (about 2,000 baht) that i used as a backup. It did the same thing. It was a little over a year old. I took it back to the dealer that I bought it from. He took it apart and checked it. He told me to buy a new phone because repairs would cost about the same as a new replacement.

I used Nokia phones for years but unfortunately Nokia phones are no longer bullet proof. I did buy a new replacement, a Samsung. My main phone is a Motorola Android.

my model is nokia 2700. I googled nokia 2700 won't restart master reset and got nothing. I tried the keys you suggested and nothing.

I guess I'll try the dealer probably will have to buy a new phone.

I had a Nokia phone N73 it lasted 3.5 year's cost at the time 10,500 bt it stopped working and I was told by Nokia that was a good life span. I now still buy Nokia but the 900bt one's from Big C or any other place that sell's them, last one I brought is still going after 18 month's. All right they are not all singing all dancing but for 900bt who care's. Edited July 9, 2012 by fredob43

This may possibly be a known issue, and even reasonably repaired, obviously by an experienced technician.

There is an authorized Nokia repair facility in MBK.
