My palm treo 700p keeps turning on and off any help?

Question

i tried all the resets none have worked. i do not want to do the hard reset because i do not want to loose my memory. i could get into my phone with a warm reset but cant make calls. this happens once in a blue moon so i forget how i fixed it last time. it restes after the palm logo shows up on the screen.

If you perform a soft reset and the device does not powercycle you may be able to hotsync through the USB cable. Be careful, as pictures are not backed up. Another option would be to purchase a backup application such as Resco Backup and save it to a SD card. Then beam this file from another similar device. Once on the device perform a backup to SD card. Then perform a hard reset either by simultaneously hitting reset button while holding down power button. When you see the Access screen release and press up on d-pad. Sometimes powercycling may be caused by reoccurring events in calendar, not purging emails, text messages, call logs, less then 3 MBs of internal resources and powering on with bluetooth.

If this doesn't resolve your powercycling issue there may be a physical problem with your battery, radio or mainboard. I would recommend that you visit your nearest Sprint/Nextel full service center. I hope this helps.
