Guest Virginia Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 I think my daughter has dropped my old spv - There is no blinking light so I don't know if it is charging or synched! firstly, it started spasmodicaly , but then wouldn't start up so I tried a hard reset (onto the canary screen with 'serial' and no number, which I can still do, but got it badly wrong and didn't save anything. Now when I start up I have a blank backlit screen and still no blinking light! Does anyone think there is any any hope???? :roll:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 I would try and Hard reset again. When you say you have a blank screen do you mean a White screen? If so you do you have the dummy plastic SD card in the phone? as this will give this sort of problem.
Guest Virginia Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 I have tried a hard reset quite a few times and no I don't have any SD card in the phone.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Place storagge card in the phone, it slows down the process and makes hard resetting easier. As above you may need to run the update again, if not on your PC you may need to use a different one.
Guest Virginia Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Have tried storage card in phone but now it will not start - the green light does not come on even when it did start - not even orange light when plugged in. I have not been able to active synch either so cannot run any update??? Do you think it has died?????
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 You do not need Activsync to run an update, all updates should be run from the canary screen. Activsync is not activated at this level.
Guest Virginia Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 I can't even turn the phone on now and when holding down the on button I can hear a regular slow click? :?:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 Have you tried charging the phone? If you want I can have a look at the phone (if you cover postage both ways) It may be possible to recover the phone, but it's not definate. Send me a PM if you are interested.
Guest Virginia Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 yes please I would be interested pls advise
Guest Virginia Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 Sorry, yes I have tried charging the phone even though there is no charge light on.
Guest @ngel Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 A friend of mine is facing the same problem with SPV! Is there a solution? I am going to get it soon in order to try to fix it...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 The phone had a component fault where it would not charge due to trying going straight into the canaryscreen. This damage appears to have been caused by water damage and even though all corrosion had been removed the fault still remained.
