Sometimes the Nokia Symbian Series 60 phone can become corrupted or just doesn't work any more. Before throwing the phone away, try reformatting.
Instructions
Series 60 v1 Phones
1. Test the phone, if possible; back up all personal information from the phone first.
2. Perform a normal reset by keying in "*#7780#". This will restore the ini files on the phone but will keep the personal data stored on the phone intact. Enter confirmation security code "12345" to proceed with the reset.
3. Assess if phone is in working order. If it still does not work a deep reset may be necessary. The deep reset will totally reformat the phone, wiping out all data.
4. Start the deep reset by keying in "#7370#". Enter confirmation security code "12345" to continue with the deep reset.
5. Reinstall personal information on the phone, such as contacts and ringtones.
