Sony Ericsson w580i won't turn on.....Why?

Question

I have had a White Sony Ericsson w580i for a couple of months and had no problems with it yet until now. I turned it off for something and now when I try to turn it back in or even plug it in a red light flashes over the clear button. I don't know why this is happening.....

I am using AT&T if that helps any. Anyone know what to do or what is wrong with it

Answer 1

It's likely that you need to reflash the phone software to your phone.  You can do this yourself [detailed instructions and files at se-nse.net] or just do it at a phone shop or through an online site like Da Vinci or Wontan.

But something you should try is to remove the battery and take out your SIM / memory card and then let it sit for a bit before you reinsert the battery [withouth SIM / memory card] and restart the phone.  Hopefully that'll work, if not then you'll probably have to reflash the phone software.  But you could always check by doing a software upgrade using SEUS [Sony Ericsson Update Service offered for free here - http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/...

i'm not sure what happened to it but if u still have it for less than one year then u still have warranty. the warranty is given to u when u buy the phone at no extra charge. take it to a cingular store and they will send u to a technical support center, that is if they don't have one there already. simply go there and they should exchange ur phone for a new one
