Nokia 7610 shuts off immediately

[n2casey]

My friend has a Nokia 7610. Now when he turns on his phone, it shuts off automatically, immediately. I have tried with new battery & the result was same. Phone has 256 mmc.
I m novice for mobile phone prob & so I need some help.
Can anyone tell me that what's wrong with phone and what to do?

it has got some virus ...
do the follwing step to format it ..
*Switch off the phone.
*Hold down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button, * button, and '3' button

*While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone
finally..
When the message 'Formatting' appears on the screen, release all of the buttons
now the mobile ll be restored to factory settings..

Ok then.Place ur mobile/mp3 player in front of any digital camera n take a snap of it...It gets FLASHED...so simple!

FLASHING your phone/mp3 player means that ur internal memory will be erased and the 'firmware' will be loaded to the phone/player's memory.

It is equivalent to formatting and reinstalling your PC.

Although it can be done in your home....it's always better to get it done at an authorised centre.
