Had to get my phone replaced!

[AndyM]

Had to get my one day old Nokia 800 replaced today.

Got everything setup last night and decided to power it off just to give it a restart. The phone would refuse to power back on. No amount of button pushing/reconnecting to the power would make it start up again. No power, nothing..dead.

I managed to get it to restart after performing the three button reset. No problem I thought maybe just a one off. Turned the phone off and put it on charge overnight and this morning the same problem returned.. Could not power on. This time the reset would not work at all, no matter how many times I tried.

Carphone warehouse swapped it over in store today for another handset. Hopefully I'll have more luck with the replacement.

Edit: already seen someone else mention a similar problem on here. Hope there's not a bigger issue.

How do you perform the three button reset? My phone randomly decided to turn off whilst I was driving and now it wont turn back on

Yes I've been in that spot as well. For five minutes the phone wouldn't respond to any power button press. Long, short, whatever. I was already starting to slide into panic mode when it suddenly came back alive on another short press.

It's not the only hardware problem I've encountered, I also have problems with touchscreen and buttons and a loose part inside the device.
