Nokia help - Saxperience

Right my dad has the Nokia 6233, and he hit the power button to change the profile. Nothing happened, so he took the battery out to reset the phone, and now we cant get it to turn on because it is the power button thats fcuked.

Is there any way to turn it on without using the power button?

He needs to get the contact info from it, he needs them for his work.

Cheers in advance

erm there is no way unless u had a alarm set, so if u did have one then the fone comes on

Don't know if this helps but the power button on one of my old nokia's snapped off, i was turning my fone on for about 6 weeks using a little piece of metal to connect the two contact points where the button used to be... All i did was make contact with the two points and it'd come on... Might work?

Of course you could always take it to a mobile phone shop and ask about a repair?

Yeah its worth noting mine died after a while and it didn't work anymore... But it did last me a good month or so till i could afford another phone.
