Hi,

I have problem with my n70 and maybe somebody met with something similar. It looks like - white screen appears every 5 secs and weird looking screen (pixels) in many different places, phone just hang up every 5 secs any suggestions, ill be appreciate.
BTW there was one day before it did happen i downloaded some files without certificate so i assume maybe thats some kind of virus or when it was raining I had a call and then water get inside and something has been damaged I dont know, thanks.
I tried hard reset (call button, 3 and *) and it didnt help. Im not sure if this is mechanical damage or just software...

Judging from the photos it looks like a hardware problem. Just to be sure though, do a hard reset of the phone. Run a backup for the phone via PC Suite if you have to, then hold the green dialling key, star and 3 while turning the phone on to format it.

Best of luck 😊

zxon thx very much 4 your reply,
at this moment i've to say its not a hardware.
phone has been flashed and problem didnt disappear,
and I heard that this is a mechanical problem - something with filters...
cheers.

I have something similar, yesterday morning it was fine and while at work I took it out of my pocket and the display was totally busted, worst then kobek81. 😞
I have all my screen covered with pixels like a tv without any program...
I tried hard reset on my phone, I tried to update the firmware, nothing worked.
It seems like the phone is working but the display is showing pixels and every 5 second blinks, seems though a little slow in response.
Can anyone help me?
Kobek81: How did you solve your phone?
Is it a hardware problem?

PS: the writing I can understand is also reversed like in kobek81's case...
