Nokia 8800 - security code on startup!!
 

hey everyone,
i have a nokia 8800 - which when turned on asks for a security code.

it doesnt give the 'insert sim' prompt, or anything. it just asks for a code as soon as you start it up (with or without a sim inserted). i have tried the DCT3/4 MCode calc (which normally works fine for me) but no luck.

you do not even have the option to type anything other then the security code (i.e. - *#06# to find the imei - etc) as it just asks SECURITY CODE!!


does anybody know if the Mcode calc should work with the 8800 model?

also - any way of finding the imei without hooking it up to a computer (i dont have the dongle)

i need to know, because the phone was in pieces when i got it - and there is a chance that the imei on the sticker is not the imei of the board .. therefore the calc wouldnt work anyway!!


any ideas or suggestions appreciated!

thanks
chris.
