V3 Turns Off! Anyone Else in UK?

Posted: 01-30-2006, 07:42 PM
Hi

My v3 has suddenly started powering down, I have been told today by
two people that they both know someone with the same phone and they
suffer the same problem.

Anyone else in the UK?

Cheers

Dave

Mine is very nearly a year old and doesn't do this. The keypad
backlight has stopped working though.... :-)

Mine started doing that but only with a non-OEM battery off ebay. Since
putting the original battery back in the problem has stopped. Are you using
an aftermarket battery?

No...everything original, phone was brand new in November from
t-mobile.

Thanks for the reply though...

The problem is usually caused by dirty battery contacts. Clean them
gently with a pencil eraser.
