My N95 won't switch on!
It's charged up, when I switch it on, it does the vibrate thing,but straight to white screen. I can't even switch it off again. Does anyone have any ideas? greenbutton, * and 3 doesn't work.

Yeah, I've even had the whole thing apart. It refuses to switch on, just a white screen. This is why I hate these vile little things.

Taken everything apart again, put it back together, and it works now.

... and it doesn't work again. I'd prefer a brick with decent electronics to these things.

If it's just white screening it could be a fault either with the LCD (which is a fairly cheap rteplacement) or the slide itself (which might still be under warranty).
If you call into the Nokia shop (next to House of Frasier, use to be Beatties) they can see if it's still under warranty (many N95's still are) and the slide replacement will be free, just don't tell them you've taken it apart smile

If you get stuck just message me

I ordered two replacement screens as it went haywire last week, so don't think it's the screen. The phone doesn't function at all with the fault, you can't even turn it off. I've had the phone for a while, so warranty is long gone!

The crappy little flimsy connector to the screen doesn't hold the ribbon cable in properly and it moves when the keypad above is pressed, so this is why it's crashing. Had it apart and tested that, and it seems to be the reason.
