Thank you for the replies.
I tried what you suggested.

I removed the battery, mmc and sim card and tried holding the power button for 5 min (not easy to do )... Unfortunatelly that did not help and I still have the same problem. I even tried removing the battery for 12 hours yesterday but that did not help either.

I did not tweak the phone at all. I had PR 1.3., standard software (opera mini, office tools), no extras-devel... I did not install anything for the past 6 months. The phone was not exposed to cold or hot conditions... The only thing I did was putting some music and videos on the phone. I use win7 x64.

After flashing the device it still acts the same on boot :

1. white led (no vibration)
2. no image and backlight on display
3. I can only hear the nokia tune on boot
4. after reflashing the device I could notice that there is a sligh sound and a small vibration when I tap on the device
5. When I call the phone it does not ring
6. when I plug it into the TV there is only a black image...


wierd situation ???

should I change the motherboard or LCD display ?
