Hi all
I have this problem with a 3310. All was going well, but all of a sudden it started to reboot or freeze with no reason. Sometimes it freezes and can be normally powered off only by removing the battery. Sometimes it just doesn't power on, you have to take out the battery, then put it back, and the, approx. from the 3rd try it powers on. I tried flashing 5.79 an 5.87 + virgin 3310's and 3315's eeproms. And the problem remains. Is this a hardware malfunction and how can this be fixed. Please help me, cuz it's my 'main' phone.
Thanx

I have the same problem with one of my 8210s!
It used to be all right and its got worse and worse and now won't turn on!
I have a feeling its something shorting out in the CCont!
I'm gonna change it on my 8210!
If you want me to post results I will!

I hope it works!

Flash 3310 v5.57, to the phone, then...

Use Knok95
Quickset FAID, Reset User interface settings, Reset Full Factory Settings, Reset SP Locks, Set new IMEI, Use original IMEI, Quickset faid! In that order!

If you still get no result, try this...

Submerge the board in the meths with the RF shields taken off, for 20 mins! After that take it out and run under a cold tap, then using a bowl full of water with washing up liquid scrub the board firmly but carefully with a tooth brush! Go in all directions! You should scrub on both sides for a total of about 10 mins! Run under tap again thoroughly, and using a hair dryer, set it to the lowest blow mode, but highest heat! slowly run the air over the board twice each side! when thats done, lie the hardryer down and lie the board down flat with the RF shield side up! Allow the hot air to blow OVER the board not directly at it for a further 7-8mins! Allow to cool for 15mins and try it in the phone! Don't forget to replace the RF Shields if it works!!!
