Could be different things... Update your Firmware with latest one. Either take it to Nokia Service or do it from the website of Nokia but do take back up of all your data first:icon4: Chech also if is not the USB port of new PC!

i hav try many pc too.....but still no respone. i cant connect to pc, how to update the phone firmware? i not worry about the firmware, i scared the phone circuit board hav a ic is burn.... is it posible?

Install Noia Software Updater tool from nokia.co.uk, support pages of N73 and do the firmware upgrade at your home.

my phone cant connect to pc using usb.......how to update????
there is no respone.........

driver every thing is ok. i hav try connect to my nokia 3230. it is ok. but the n73 is cant connect to my pc. (i hav try my fre pc too, cant also) i think last time the usb in my computer i hav plug wrong socket with motherboard, when i plug a usb cable to my n73, maybe the volt or something wrong n make some ic of the n73 is burn.....n cant connect to pc........... is it possible?

hi Anettejt, my n73 not hang when connect to usb cable, is no respone when i connect it to usb cable.( nothing happen when i plug it) but i use the same pc n same cable to connect to my 3230, it is work fine, that means, the driver n cable is nothing wrong...is my phone got something wrong.

1 question i want to ask, can i use bluetooh to update my firmware?
i think if want to use nsu, it is only can use usb cable right?????
other than use usb cable, can use other hardware to update the firmware?

For NSU, only cable. Remove PCSuite and NSU. Clean registry with all entries related with both programs. Reboot PC. Install both again. Another way to do the upgrade, is to go a Nokia Service.

I had a similar problem with my 6680. It turned out to be a corrupt PC Suite driver on the phone. I cleaned up the drivers on the phone using FExplorer and then connected it back up again. PC Suite then reinstalled the drivers and everything was fine. I also noticed that PC Suite doesn't like communicating with phones if the USB cable is connected to the PC via a hub. It only seems to work when connected direct to the motherboard.
