Hi guys
I'm posting this as a seperate thread because my problems have been narrowed down and the title of the original posting would have meant that my last reply/query would never have been read...probably!
I've started this thread with that last post, and I'm hoping you might have some answers.
Thank you
Andy
'Hi guys
Thank you all for your replies.
There have been developments!!!
Thank you Brohighcube & Jplacson for your kind offer of help; there's actually nothing wrong with my ER500! I bought a replacement battery for it but it wouldn't charge at all...no sign of power whatsoever! I was assured that it was a compatible battery, and so I assumed it was either the charger or the circuitry inside the phone; which is why I wanted to get inside and take a look. Anyhow, I've just bought a rather lovely GH337 without a charger. Plugged it in using the ER500 charger, let it sit for an hour, switched it on and HEY, we have LIFE! I then swapped the charged GH337 battery onto the ER500 and we had MORE LIFE!! Getting good this, isn't it? I now have 2 great, usable phones with a shared charger, and have also found a supplier of compatible batteries in my country for a very reasonable price. BUT...and it's a BIG BUT, I have locking problems!!!!!! and I need HELP.....PLEASE!!!
1)The ER500 was on 'Orange' but I get asked for my PIN number when I switch it on and I can't remember what it was!!
I haven't used it for over 10 years and I know I would never have written it down anywhere. What can I do?
2)The GH337 doesn't appear to be PIN LOCKED but it's telling me to put in the correct SIM card. The person I bought it off can't remember what network they were using at the time (15 years ago) but it's possible that it was the Spanish Movistar network, so I wouldn't have one anyway. How do I get round that one?
Anyhow guys, thanks again for your help. I hope to hear from you soon and I WILL get round to posting a picture or 2; especially of the GH337...it's rather unique! I'll leave you all wondering
Cheers
Andy'
