Phone dead!

[Curious_AJ]

nokia 3220... dead...

I put it to charge last night, (leaving it on as always) then I woke up this morning,and it was switched off.. I was like wtf mate... and when I tried to switch it on, it wouldnt come back on...

It'd done this before, but always come back on after a little fidle with the battery or whatever... but now it's not comming back on at all... :(

if you guys have had similar problems, any advice?

[jrandom]

Since we appear to be all out of magic pixie dust to scatter over broken electronics, perhaps you could take it to a Vodafone (or Telecom, as appropriate) shop and see if it's still under warranty.

[Supermoto Junkie]

may i suggest that you throw it on the road and hope a BIG truck runs it over

won't do much for the phone but you'll feel great.....:mad:damn phones

Go to the Nokia website......

There is a list of Nokia batteries being replaced for FREE as some were faulty.

You just maybe lucky and get a new battery.

[Curious_AJ]

well, I've had this phone for about 3 or 4 years now... I dunno if they'd accept that... I could try... but I dunno...

[Tank]

a 3 - 4 year old cell phone - ugh! Throw it in the bin and just get a new one.

[Curious_AJ]

lol, it still costs about 200 and something on the market now... hence throwing it in the bin isnt a good idea.. yet I cant really get anything for it if it's not going to work anyway... bugger...

off to get a cheap NON-nokia phone now... (all my nokias have had something go wrong... damn it!)

[crashe]

well, I've had this phone for about 3 or 4 years now... I dunno if they'd accept that... I could try... but I dunno...

Give it a try...... some phones are old but use the same battery...

My Nokia 2100 battery wasnt on the list..... but all other numbers around it were. And my phone is now classed as old.

There is a long list of batteries being replaced for FREE

It is worth a shot aint it to just try....


Put it this way...... if you dont check it out then you wont ever know now will you.
What do you have to loose..........

[Curious_AJ]

yeah, I checked it out, I couldnt find it actually.. :(

my father goes "get a new f***ing battery for it then!" ...

I'm not even sure it IS the battery... I have to take it to parallel arseholes now... and I know they never fix anything if it's not still under waranty, unless you pay about 2x what the thing cost in the first place... (eg, my bro's digi cam)

Since I havnt seen the obligatory "have you checked the obvious" post yet, here goes...

When you say you "put it to charge" last night...... Was it charging (did you check). Is the charger still plugged in, and if so, is it switched on at the wall ???

IE... IS THE BATTERY JUST DEAD ????

No.... Sorry!!!!! you can :girlfight: me now
Yes... Feel free to slip quietly away and forget this thread exists

[crashe]

Looks like its time for another battery for you then.
Look on Trade Me...... there maybe a cheap one going...... with a still ok battery in it.


I edited in the complete list on my other post back on page 1.

yes, it was charging, i'm not THAT blonde, and YES it was turned on at the wall.. and no the charger isnt still pluged in, i tried it again and nothing came up, so no, the charger is not doing anything. as i said, the battery could be dead (read the posts!!!!) but i'm not sure if it IS the battery.

yeah, that's the list I looked at before, heh.

I guess it is time for a new one... I may as well get a whole new phone though, this one's been giving me shit for a while. (lots of different kinds of shit)

[Luckylegs]

...the battery could be dead (read the posts!!!!) but i'm not sure if it IS the battery.

Sorry, perhaps I wasnt clear, by "Dead" I meant FLAT (obvioulsy because I was implying that it hadnt been charging)

And..... I read the POSTS So you can take your multiple exclamation marks and make like ya phone... and drop dead ! :Pokey:

wow, hostile... everyone knows I use lots of exclamai!!!!!tion marks anyway.

no need for death threats, or does there need to be a mod??

anyway, no, it is not flat.

[Luckylegs]

Was intended to be dismissive... perhaps I need therapy.

A death threat would have involved me saying I was going to...... followed by something like looking like the seal you have in your avatar.

Jokes aside and to be REAL clear: I dont make threats, I aint a violent person...... Im a lover, not a figher... :love:



anyway, no, it is not flat.

Thats Cool, I only suggested it cos I know Ive done it before, Cos I am that BLONDE

[Trudes]

......*sigh*

[Dilligaf]

Hey Luckylegs, can I ask what the stick person is saying in your avatar?

And :shutup: for the avatar comment to AJ :laugh:

[Luckylegs]

......*sigh*

Dissapointment or Frustration ? ...Perhaps Boredom ?

Or have I missed the point completely

[Curious_AJ]

ok, well my phone IS completely stuffed, went to talk to the people.. they said that the battery would cost me too much, and the phone isnt worth that much anymore...

I saw a good one for like 89bucks ... but they didnt have any in stock...

however, my main complaint is the assistant... she was so impolite and uninformative that I just wasnt going to bother asking her any more questions...

what is UP with retail assistants these days!

[Trudes]

you do forget, that dependign on the store, the person only gets paid minimum wage, the job ends up being a chore to scrape meagre wages... it's not a very engaging or interesting job... When I worked at the baby factory, I always made the effort to help people, or ask an older sales rep if I didnt know. But I got paid puddle stix and eventually resigned because the amount of pay I was getting was just rediculous for the amount of work i was putting in.
Maybe this?

[Her_C4]

................

what is UP with retail assistants these days!

A lot of people don't understand that working in customer service means that they are supposed to provide the customer with service....... and even if they did understand that, they apparently have few clues as to the meaning of the word 'service' as in assistance or help, aimed at enhancing the level of customer satisfaction and meeting customer expectations.

I.E. They can't be arsed putting themselves out as long as they get paid every week regardless :oi-grr:

[Dilligaf]

Maybe this?

And you wonder why you got that nomination for Archivist???

Right on though :niceone:

[Trudes]

And you wonder why you got that nomination for Archivist???

Well if someone thinks I do it, I might as well prove them right For once!

[Curious_AJ]

Maybe this?
yeah, I know that I said that before... but it still doesnt change my oppinion that people should get their arse into gear, especially if they're in a shop with phones, coz most people don't have much knowledge about phones and expect the people in the stor to be able to help them. (clothing etc is different.. which was the type of work i was referring to in that post)

yeah... I know... GRR people like that drive me up the wall.. take some initiative and maybe they could move to a better position!!

yeah, she had a point bringing up what I said.. but I did say in other posts in that thread i recall, that people should still do their job..

[Trudes]

Well I know shit all about clothes, so may need a little help. It really doesn't matter what job you are getting paid to do, if you're getting paid to do it, you should do it or move on.

[Curious_AJ]

this is true... but what i meant, was that people are more likely to want informed help about phones, than clothing. that kinda thing.. in general (yea i am geeralising here) people are fine to go frolicking around a clothing store to pick stuff they like with no help. in a phone store, people need to have the info before they buy.

How do you know if you are not going to ask / offer - regardless of the product / service on offer?

I'm with Mrs K on this one. Although specifically we are talking about customer service here - or the lack thereof - regardless of the job, if you are paid to do it then you need to do it! :yes:

[The Pastor]

aj stfu and buy a new phone, did you see me start a pointless drivel thread about buying a new phone?

if you dont have the $$ save up and get one.

and im sure you can get a new battery for less than 89 bux, try duncs or hels battery in it and see if it is the battery noob

[Luckylegs]

Imagine my surprise at the astoundeding lack of product knowledge when I asked the friendly supermarket checkout operator which of the six boxes of condoms id brought to the checkout was best....

I mean, how am supposed to know whether to choose Ribbed or Studded.... cripes.

:oi-grr:

...Im inclined to buy the ones called rough rider... cos theyve got a motorbikle on em :headbang:

edit: yes I get annoyed when people think I have the same phone as them i dont know why

[Curious_AJ]

mods, you can PD this thread now thanks, it has served its purpose.

[The Pastor]

oh the burn, it hurts lol.

[Curious_AJ]

what?... umm... I've got a new phone.. problem solved.. hence why this thread is no longer needed.. nothing to do with what anyone has said.

[Trudes]

So this thread is now dead, like AJ's phone

[Curious_AJ]

yep, long live my phone...

[Str8 Jacket]

So this thread is now dead, like AJ's phone

God you're a Bitch Turdes!!!
