3310 stall at pin entry: flash?

[ratcar]

Hi!

My 3310 have turned off itself and now, when I try to turn it on,
it stalls while I'm typing the pin code.
It remains stall for a few seconds, then turns off and turns on again!

Could it be because flash has become inconsistent and needs to be reflashed?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Does this happen whilst you press buttons in the top left hand side of the keyboard like 1 or C ??

If so it could be dry solder joints on the RAM chip, you need to reflow/replace this chip or bodge it if this is the case

No. Sometimes you enter three pin digits and it stalls, and sometimes you can't even type a single digit.
I don't believe it would be hardware problems, since I haven't opened the phone nor have left it in poor conditions like water or sth else.

Had you flash your mobile?If you flash it did you remember update the FAID?That's the only case I remember turn off my mobile after some second of power on...

But for that situation the phone must register with the network and only then the reboot happens

This isn't the case since the PIN isn't entered completely ;)

cheers
