> K800i power problem! HELP!
Bookmark topic
Oh dear, the irony! I've just tried to replace a faulty charger connector in my K800i and I now have exactly the same problem as you! Tried testing a different screen in the phone when partially reassembled, screen flashed white on and off and I now get a flashing LED and no other signs of life....
Will take my own advice and try a firmware update, let me know how you get on!

I've just tried doing a firmware update on mine but it's not recognising the phone, and I suspect you will have the same problem.
I got to the stage where it tells me to hold the 'C' key and plug the USB connector in, and it won't go any further - a red LED flashes when I plug the lead in, that's it.
As a previous poster has said, it looks like I'd have to go to a third party like Wotan to get it flashed - though I might just sell the thing as faulty and get another!

Sammy Boy - Sorry your having the same problem as me now! Hope you get it sorted, you seem to know more than me!
Hanugro - Thanks for the advice! But im not getting any further
I downloaded SEUS and have gone through the Flash menu, to where its says plug in the USB cable and press and hold 'c' but nothing happens?
Iv also downloaded the PC suite (i dont have the CD) as another post says it needs it to recognise the phone but this doesnt help.
If anyone can talk me through it, please you would be saving my life! Iwill call you back obviously... 020 8253 0360.
Thanks so much!

Sounds like you (like me!) would have to either sell the phone on or go to someone like Wotan and flash the phone that way and update the EROM.
I can't help you there unfortunately, software is a bit weakpoint of mine and I'm not sure if you can do this with the standard USB cable or if you need a 'cruiser' cable (which you can get fairly cheaply off Ebay).
As I'm a chicken I'm going to probably just sell the current phone and go buy a replacement phone, I luckily recieved a W900i today in a separate trade so can use that in the time being!

Yeah this happen that is why I ask you to test whether any of the third party client can still recognize your phone.
You may tried to take the batt out for longer time (5-10min) or short the batt connector in the phone body. I have no idea why some ppl has problem getting the phone to be recognized by SEUS or third party client when it is having problem. You may also try to take the batt our for more than 24hr.
Also make sure the batt is full. You may need to charge your batt using other phone because maybe your phone can't charge the batt in its current condition.

It should work with standard DCU-60 cable that come with the phone. Problem is some ppl have difficulty in getting the phone to be recognised by client. No one knows exactly why but I suspect it has something to do with the batt not full enough or the batt is not taken out long enough (some residual current still on the phone).

Hanugro - I have downloaded the Wotan 0.9.995 version? and am charging the battery at the moment as it turned out to be dead! Hopefully when i next connect the phone it will actually recocnise it!?
How do i know that when i try and connect it again it will restore the EROM and not the frimware??
Cheers
How are you getting on Sammy Boy, have you given up now!?

Mine's still as dead as a doornail, left the battery out for 20 mins and still now power, will try for a bit longer now and see if I have any better luck.
One thing I don't understand though is how my taking the phone apart would cause a software problem?

i have a w810i that i got to power up, the moment i switched it off and pulled the battery out to change the sim, it mucked up the software. when i put the battery back in it flashed 1 white screen then went off.
i reflashed it using Wotan and all is fine now. it only costs a fiver to flash it via wotan. i recommend wotan, it was easy to flash the phone (easier than i thought!)
EDIT: i saw your post on the cables, i used the DCU-60 to flash it (the cable that came with the phone)

Gaming Guy - When you reflashed the phone through Wotan did you lose all your text messages?
Iv been told this wont happen if i only update the EROM? But im bot sure how to just do that and not a full reflash.
