Help!!! Nokia 8310 problems - can I re-install software?

[gladiator334]

Dear All,

I own a Nokia 8310 but unfortunately, soon after I had purchased it, it has developed some problems:-

1) Startup tone plays in disjointed bursts - like the sound file has been corrupted??

2) No signal at all when I know there is because other phones work fine and this one used to.

Its all v.odd! After it doing this, I left it off for two days, and then it worked for a bit, but suddenly dropped to no signal, and when I restarted it, it played the startup tone weirdly like before.

I dont know much about how to sort out phones like this so wondered if you could give me some tips! Is there some way in which I can re-install the software back onto it? I don't have any data cables, but I do have infra-red on my PC. Can I do it with this?

Help much appreciated!!

nmp only supporting LPT cable flashing. if u want to reflash ur 8310 u need dct4 flasher software, cables and dongle for that.

Thanks. I've got the flasher software (i think it is the right one, not sure tho, if u could tell me where to get it that would b great), but I haven't got a cable.

There's no way of doing it over IR? (COM cable is essentially the same as a COM IR connection, just different physical transmission). What do u think?
