i called Fido, and they said its a harware problem. Damn! i bought this phone in October 2002 and its had this major problem already...what is
upto? making phones like that? i mean i like the phone and everythin , but the fact that somethin has gone wrong in less than 5 months has kinda discouraged me.....from gettin another
. I guess i'll have to wait and see how good their service people are, before i make a final decision. I was gonna upgrade to a p800 in a month or 2...but now.....i'm weary.

I have the same problem as well... try take off the battery and gently squeeze your phone.. ( like bending it..~_~ i know it hurts).. or keep pressing yes when u make a call... it works for me.... i suspect that it is the hardware problem....
i think just dunt waste time to master reset... it won't work...
my phone's warranty is expired.. so i think i will wait to get a new phone instead of spend $ to fix it...
did u eva dropped ur phone or took off the faceplate..??

one problem with the warranty. i bought my fone outside canada, so Fido does not cover the warranty for that. I bought it on 12 october 2002 from Dubai,United Arab Emirates.
Now, i called the SE 1800 number they have in the manual in the box i got. This is a call centre in Texas, the guy was really really stupid and had a f**ked up accent to his english. He gave me another number in USA. Now this number is not toll free. so i gotta spend 10cents a minute to call this number, so i can talk to them about my warranty.
I call them up, they put me on hold, next thing you know i'm disconnected. I call back, the call center is closed. i mean WTF?
Now i wrote an email to the support on the Sony Ericsson Website, hopefully they will be more helpful.
Do u think i should pay $15 to upgrade my software? Cuz i was going to do that anywyz tomorrow. But now that this problem has happened, i dono.

Naah, i've not dropped my phone that badly. Just once on the carpet.and that was like 2 months ago..so i dont think that is the problem.

OMG!! YOu are not gonna believe this, but i tried what cyberekin said, and guess what? The phone is working! hahah its like a miracle!!!!??
Seriously, i have no idea, what happened or how it happened, but i just took out the battery, and kinda pressed the phone and kinda bent it like cyberekin said, and it started up after that and made calls successfully.
Its either that or the fact that i kept my phone off for 4 hours or so. I dono what worked, but it worked. and i am a really really extremly happy person now!
Seriously i was really worried when my fone stopped working. I dono why and i dono how, but yea. its fine now!
i mean how could this happen? there is no logical explanation for this. I think it was the fact that i kept if off for like 4 hours, or i dono maybe cyberekin's trick worked. I just hoped this was a once in a lifetime thing and nothin ever happens to this again.
If anythin happens, i'm gonna seriously freak out.
Thanx everyone for your help
I really appreciated it.

it's due to dust cozing the board acted not that sensative? i do lots of service by taking of faceplate and everything just to do my own service. it's not advisable from the
center to open the phone yaself.
but i did that hundred time without fail. guess u guys have to consider servicing the phone once awhile.

haha... congratulations..!! next time if it fails again... try this trick.. hahaha... i have dried to disassemble the phone into many pieces.. and i found that there is a metal plate underneath the circuit board... i
guess ( remember... its just my guessing) the problem is caused by
some kinda internal faulty contact... may be is the cct board itself or the board and the metal plate... but urs r better than mine... mines green blinking LED will stop blinking at a sudden... have to squeeze it (again~~..) to bring it back...
these problems happened b4 i first disassemble the phone... and thats
also the reason why i disassemble it...

And you call that quality phones??
I have found out that you SE worshippers are just like british motorcycle enthusiasts
Totally blind to all annoying quirks and full of admiration for a below par product.. T68i: The most advanced and feature packed phone in the world? When it came out, probably, but at least my time hasnīt frozen in 2001-2002 and today SE is eating dust from the competition, and churning out bug infested phones wonīt help.
I am not in any way happy that Ericsson went belly up, being from Sweden and all but i canīt say that iīm surprised..
Too bad really.
