hi m8 that suggestion didn't work.... but now neither does the phone
just woke up today and thought i would try another suggestion i had seen on the forum and the phone is dead to the world !
now i have had it charging for a while (like it says in the manual !) and it isn't showing any life what so ever.
I am now wondering if the "insert corect card" message is related to this problem in anyway ?
BTW the battery is working !! already checked with a mates T29 lol
