hi guys,

i just buy a 8250 from my friend, and it is hard to charge the battery, when i fully charge, a call in, and it left 2 bars only, then sometimes it "freezes", it hang and i have to take out the battery and on again, and it must be take out around 5~6 time b4 the phone went normal, he bought it at April 2001, and he never update the s/w b4, i remember i upload an operator logo and the problem came out.

Now even wrost, when i switch on the phone, it came out "contact service" and it hang there.

Can you guys teach me how to solve this problem, please be inform i;m a newbies, so i got no idea what is eeprom and how to flash. can you guys teach me step by step?

Thanks in advance

hi guys,

i just take my 8250 to the shop, and he said not the s/w problem, it's the one of the device problem "call bar" something, and the cost of fixing it is around USD 40.00. He have to charge the device and do something, can anyone help me on this?

My guess is that he is trying to rip some money from U!!

Do not always listen to people working in service shops.
I'm not a expert on the subject, but what u re telling sounds like u have water damage, maybe a component failure ore most simply a soft. error.

The service repairman would most likely connect your phone and used wintesla to check your phone, maybe updated your soft and/ore do a energy calibration.

So please try this first:
-Open phone, check for water damage.
-If not, get the cables needed and update software yourselfe
-Are u lucky and know something abaout electronics then get yourselfe a copy of the service manual, and go from there!

Ore maybe I have missed something and you have to give up and pay for the repair...

Dont give up
try harder:)
