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.

U can not use the IR to flash the phone!
U can not use the IR to anything useful exept logos and stuff.
The connection points with fbus and mbus is underneth the battery.
U need a mbus cable and a flash cable (Cheap on the web)
