Unit was working fine, but after pulling out battery and replacing same, the unit will not power back on!
Any tricks, tips or ideas to wake this thing back up or do I have dead unit?
9300 wont turn back on - help!
This has happened to me before.
Just take the battery out and try it again, or try plug in the charger to "boost" it

This may not help always: nothing helped when my wife's 9300 died completely, inside and out, after 17 days without any physical harm done, with fresh battery etc. Now we are waiting for the new unit because not even the phone service couldn't get it to life again.

Have tried this and the pin short out technique. No luck. Question: I have read on a forum somewhere, that the battery will not charge if the unit is not on, is that true? Doesnt seem possibe or you could not recharge a battery that has gone completely dead?
Nokia phone repairman said the most general error folks do is that after the battery has been totally drained out the phone is not allowed to charge at least 10 minutes, because this long time the phone may seem to completely dead.
