Mobile problem

When I switched on my mobile this morning nothing happened, it was as dead as a doornail. I tried charging it, although it hadn't needed doing when I switched it off the evening before, but still nothing. It's only just a year old, so I contacted the maker, who suggested I charge it up for half-an-hour. I'll have another go, but I have already tried that, so I'm not optimistic. Has anyone else had this happen, and did you manage to get it working? Just when I'm waiting for calls too!

My mobile 'died' last week.... but its the screen that has gone. Still receiving messages, but I dont know who from Just hope Josh Holloway isnt wanting to take me out (Sawyer from Lost) Fortunately I only had a few pence left on the phone. Anyway, hubby bought me a new one last week and I am slowly getting used to it... trouble is I have lost all my numbers that were on my phone and as I didnt save them to the sim card.... they are lost forever and ever
Good luck with your phone Christine

christine try taking the battery out and wiping the conections and then it might come on my hubbys kept doing that and he had to keep taking the battery out and wiping the conections and then it worked hope it works

Will certainly try that, thank you Jan, and thanks for the good wishes Karen, I hope they work together!

Just what I was going to suggest Janette
Also if you have problems with your sim card take it out and gentle rub it with a pencil rubber, when I had probs years ago I was told to do that by the nice man on the phone He actually asked me if I had a rubber and I said 'PARDON' then realised he meant a pencil rubber

Many thanks, the good advice worked! I left it on charge overnight and found it still dead this morning, so took out the battery, looked at it, didn't really like to do anything with it so put it back, plugged it in, and Hey Presto! it charged up! Wonderful, I have my mobile back.

You're a naughty girl, Jan!

Janette... looks you and Jan could get a job in Mobile phones!!!

Glad it's all sorted now Christine, was going to suggest the same thing as my hubby often has this happen and he has a very mucky job so the grit and dust gets everywhere. It has always worked for him x Another thing he has to do when it doesn't charge properly is use a small soft bristled paintbrush and clean out the charger connection on the phone x
