Hey guys,

I have a problem with my 8890. It will not turn on, unless I plug the charger in. Once I hear the little beep (that Nokias make when they begin to charge) I can push the on/off button and the phone will turn on.

I can then disconnect the charger and use the phone without problems. However, if the battery dies or I accidentally turn off the phone, I am not able to turn it back on without connecting a charger to it again. I know the battery is not the problem because I have tried several others & each time the same happens.

I first took the phone to a Nokia Service Center and they said: "sorry, the problem is internal and we do not repair those kind of things."

So then I took the phone to a GSM service shop they said:
-the on/off switch is good
-ccont is working
-the battery connector is fine
-the system charging block is fine

Basically he said sorry, I won't charge you because I do not know what the problem is.

Anyone have a similar problem like this? Any solutions/suggestion will be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
8890guy
