i got a nokia e90 as a gift from my father, its not brand new, the problem with it is that it wont turn on, the front screen goes black and the keypad does ligths up but then it frozes there, as for the inside screen doesnt even turn on, same with the keyboard, also when i press the on/off button it vibrates. i have no idea what could it be so if  anyone knows i will really appreciate it. thank you

Hi migs123, have you tried removing the battery? Reinsert it to bootup? Have you considered maybe the battery itself is at the end of its life span since its a hand me down.

The battery might be giving you a false fully charged indication, I had my E90 for approximately 2 years & find the battery only 2/3 charged. If this isn't the case then you should have it checked at a Nokia service centre.

 try option number 3 and see if this works for you. read carefully and it does take gimnastics do achieve but when it works it works. this you do with the phone turned off 

With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!



1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345

2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)

3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.

If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.
