Unhappy Sad day. Charmer is dead. Help!

So okay I did a soft-rest on my Charmer today and it didn't wake up again.

No LEDs, nothing on the screen. I don't think the battery was drained and it hasn't been near any water, been dropped or anything like that. If I plug it in it doesn't show it's charging. I've left it plugged in for hours, still nothing. No bootloader, no nothing.

I have realized the hard way how much I rely on it. I now have no music, no satnav, no phone, no diary.

If anyone knows how to revive it, please let me know.

Otherwise I'm off to get another one - maybe a Prophet this time!

Hi Pls buy the prophet which is available and can be serviced in your region.
I have already had a similar problem as of your in my prophet..
The phone just wont power on from standby..I resetted using stylus and from than (almost 3mths now) the prophet has not powered ON at all.
I have already used the wire trick and removing the batt for days and shoring the batt but no help....

VERDICT:buy prophet only which has warranty.

Default Wire trick?

What on earth is the wire trick?

I'd like to try it - see if I can get the thing to come back to life.

Anyway, now on a prophet - hopefully it wont happen again.

Thanks for replying.

I have a charmer that is dead too.
And It's the second time.

The first time I sent it to the warranty and they fixed it and sent it back.. full operational.
So it has to have some "trick" to revive it.

I still have 1 year os warranty so i'll send it again. But I really would like to know If is there any information to dismantle it or something like to unlock some mobiles you have to wire it in a special way to surpass some detection chip or something.

Unhappy MDA Compact 2 dead, please help me moderator...

Hi, I have serious problem, and donīt know what to do. I flashed my MDA with WM6. It worked for 3 days. When I switched it off, and later on, I could only see booting itself, and then frozen picture of T-Mobile. I read about hard reset, which I did and after all process finished with "Format is failed". What can I do? Is there anything I can do? Thx
