K850i Phone Help Please?

darknesshayz · 30-12-2008, 15:38

My phone wont switch on at all. Normally when I charge it, it'll let me switch it on, but this time nothing!

The keypad lights up and so does the camera light thingy, but thats it. Nothing else, the phone wont load up at all.

Has anyone had a problem like this with there K850i phone or any other Sony Erricson phone?

Thanks for your help!

Sounds like it need the software re-flashing,
If its under warranty take it back if not take it to ya local little phone shop that does unlocking ect and they should be able to sort it for ya

Had 5 do the same thing before I reverted back to my K800i.

I haent had a problem with the phone before. Until now, I have had it 8 months, and this is my first problem, I got myself a battary just incase its that. Cause now, the phone keypad doesnt flash, where the on/off button is, it lights up red and stays red for a while!

Thanks for your replies guys

the k850i is notorious for crashing and being buggy...

search the forum, or google, and you'll find lots of similar experiences to yours

Mine had the same symptoms as yours, had to have a replacement because reflashing didn't cure it. Now after 6 months of use, the Bluetooth has packed in on my current one so it looks like I'll be getting another replacement!

I am realy gonna lose my cool and blinking through it at something...

I didnt een save the numbers to my Sim Card, how silly is that? My brother has the T250i, he lent to me, and its driving me crazy all ready lol! Though his battery can be fully charged, his phone will switch off, and you have to take the battery out and put it back in to get it to work again... Rather annoying!
