Recently my N80s been acting up. At first it gave me the "Phone Startup Failed Contact The Retailer" message, then it shut down. It takes a lot of tries just to get the phone to turn on, and if the Sim Card is in, then it won't turn on at all. I can try to turn it on with no sim card, and it works fine in Offline mode. I tried turning it off in offline mode, inserting a sim, and turning the phone back on (this is also took a lot of tries) in offline mode and it still worked. But a phone isn't much use if I can't make calls, so I change to the General profile, and all the phones lights blink and flash, and the phone just shuts down. I've already tried reformatting the phone using the 3 button method, but I'm still having the same problems.
Please help, I'm getting kinda desperate 😡 .
Just a thought but have you got one of those cheap fake ebay batteries in your phone?
No, it still has the original battery that came with the phone, and I doubt thats the problem since when the phone does work in offline mode, the battery seems fine.

If the hard reset (3 button method) did not cure the problem your phone is probably faulty and needs a Nokia Care Centre visit for repair. Sorry.
P.S. one last thing, try booting the phone without a memory card installed and see if its any better - maybe you have a faulty or corrupt memory card?

Yeah, I thought about that too, but thats not it either.
What sucks is that my new memory card just came in the mail too, and I can't even use it 😞.
