Havent been here in a while... anyone repair spvs?

[Guest Moony1234]

Last time i was here the spv was just launched and i broke mine :lol:

Anyone here repair SPVs?

Basically it stays on the "sunset orange" screen when i turn it on.

I have tried a hard reset many times with no joy!

Any ideas/suggestions?

You could get Orange Emergency Care for 50poounds.

Or if you have Orange Care, just ask them to fix it.

It's a known fault ;) normaly you have to send it back to Orange for repair, but you could try

installing the UK update. not sure on that one but it would be worth a try as some people who did the

update had the same problem with the sunset screen, and all they needed to do was to redo the

update.

And welcome back :lol:

If nothing else works can you get hold of a full SPV image on an SD card (bootloader, WinCE, GSM, IPSM - what you get when you "save all" in the bootloader)? If you can, put the SD card with the image on into the SPV, start it in bootloader mode (power button and voice record together) and it should display "found pboot, WinCE, GSM, IPSM, press action to download" - press the action key and wait until the display says "passed" - this should flash the new image to your phone and it should work.

I had a similar problem to this when I corrupted the Windows CE part of the phone's ROM (my fault!), which the UK update changes, so that should be the first thing you try.
