My phone won't turn on when I press power button

[meirionwyllt]

OK, first of all, I've tried to search for an answer on the form but all the words I use are apparently "too common".

I can't get my phone turned on, although the battery is fine (I have three of them) and so is the charger (I have two). When I turn on there is nothing on the screen, no blue light, nothing.

It charger OK, it beeps when the charger is inserted, the battery symbol on the top-right appear to show the battery increasing in charge and then it repeats that (like normal), but nothing when I try turning it on.

The problem started a few weeks ago when it wouldn't turn on. Then I took the battery out and tried it again and it worked. Then a week after that I had to take my battery out 3 or 4 times before it would work. Now not even that.

I believe the actual button on the PCB itself is ok, cause it still click when you press as you would expect.

Any ideas guys??

Forgot to say, I've also tried taking the memory card out. Still doesn't work :-(

I have the same problem with mine. I realized the power button wasn't working a couple months ago. The button itself doesn't work, so I had to go into the settings to change the Profile. It was working up until a couple days ago when my battery died, so now I can't get it to start. I want to know where I can take it to get it fixed here in the US. I bought it off eBay a couple years ago, and I still have contacts saved on it. I have read some comments online, about people who have the same problem. Some say the power button wire connection has oxidized from moisture.

bro...i no this may sound a bit weird but...if u tried everything i mean EVERYTHING and nothin has worked....n ur soo desperate 2 switch it on.....just try this one....n i bet it will work for you too...pluck out the power button which is on the top of the fone, then you will find a silver button....the problem lies there....the silver thing is not able to conduct electricity with the other end....so wot i did was i remover the upper portion of that circle n touched it with a tip of my tongue (i know it sounds weird but saliva is a conductor or electricity) dnt worry u wont get electrocuted...but it will turn the mobile on....but remember the fone should be charged atleast for an hour before u do this....hope this helps.....
