> HELP! my P1i wont start up
Bookmark topic
I had never had a problem with my P1i. Never!
Today I was in a meeting and someone called me, and didn't answered. He started to call me again and I just turned off my phone while he was calling me.
Now, I can turn my P1i on!!! When I press the on button the phone vibrates and the keyboard light goes one, but the screen keeps black.
I have many important thing on the phone and I didn't have a backup.
How do I soft reset it or something?
Please help me!!!
Thanks,
Rodrigo

Does it have battery?
Remove the battery, wait for 10 seconds (really), put the battery on, put the phone on charger, wait for 10 minuntes and try to turn it on again.
Not making backups is always a *bad* idea.

The battery was almost full.
when I put it on charge the keyboard and LCD backlight starts to blink 4-4 seconds.
Does the phone have any soft and hard reset?
Thanks

No, this is not a Windows phone.
I mean, you ca do that, but first the phone needs to load the "bios" (if you know what I mean)
Another idea -- Remove the SIM and MemoryStick and see if it starts.
The only thing I know is the press C key while turning the phone on.
Is used to run the SE Update Service (folow the instructions).
Maybe it will unlock -- but don't update the firmware or you will loose everything!

The same thing happened to me. Taking out the battery and replacing it after a bit didn't help either. But after putting it on the cradle and having the device light up temporarily, i managed to get it to switch on by activating the power switch while the phone is still on the cradle. Seems to work fine after that. You might want to give this a try.

Tried everything without success.
The only option left was updating the firmware again(I already had the last one). I tried and now it's working fine again. But I lost everything.
Next time doing a backup would be a good idea. But I still can't believe that by just turning off a phone you can brick it.

Some critical file in the internal C drive must have been corrupted.
This is not normal, but can happen with any computer too.
I'll start being more carefull when powering the phone. Making sure it's not doing heavy work.

Wow. Anyone called or written to SE support yet?
(...anyway. Best guess: the phone- program, which runs exclusive level memory operations, doesn't lock it's memory access if another program interrupts. So you could, maybe, turn the phone off while it sets a flag for access, and that would never allow other programs entry again.)
