P910 Virus. How To Reset?

1 replies · 7,432 views · Started 14 January 2006

Hello
I recently downloaded a few themes from another site. One it would seem had a virus. After installation the phone put up a message saying to 'resart phone' apparently to activate the alledged icons.. :frown:

The folks on the site have not really been able to help me other than suggesting to go to a symbian site to see if I can find out how to do a hard reset of the phone, that that should do the trick

SYMPTOMS

The phone powers on
Black screen with SE ball appears as usual but it remains there
If I jiggle the keyboard I can catch glimpses of the application menu etc, but the black screen remains
Bluetooth remains on unless in flight mode
Buttons do not function
Can receive calls but does not ring

I've checked out the following viruses
Commwarrior, Fontal.A Doomboot

Someone has just told me that the hard reset 'button' is under the battery over the sim and to stick a pin or something small enought into the little hole and that should do it...I'm not doing anything yet :con?

I'd really like some help
Thank you

Blasted virus makers!😡
