[mollycorolla]

then why post a reply?! lol. its only 4 months old.

I know that some slide fones have issues with the connectors and thus only display white/blank after over use of the slider.

Just looked on google for others with the same problem but found nothing. Sounds like its gonna have to go for repair.

If its only 4 months old its under guarentee..... Thats is if you havent damaged it by misuse or neglect.......... DID YOU NEGLECT YOUR PHONE MOLLY

[mollycorolla]

Try giving it a "Cold Start" by removing the Battery completely , then reinserting the Battery and trying to switch it back on.

It works for me when mine freeezes up like that.

Hope that you get it working soon

I take it the Battery is charged up?

[mollycorolla]

Have you tried the "cold start" by removing the Battery?

[JappyBeast]

Does your fone look like this?

If so then try and press tinky-winkys tummy for a 'warm' start.

[mollycorolla]

try a new Battery or take it to a phone shop. my phone stop working it was a Samsung g600, the slidey bit come off and wouldnt turn on, all it needed was a new batterey after the slidey bit was fixed so best thing to do is take it to a phone shop that fixes phones

[flexy7]

Have you tried (The drastic) Hard Reset ? :!Removed!:

[Norfolk n Chance]

If it was a Nokia i could get you a Priority repair and a courtesy phone :D

[Red Yaris 54]

Can you use an "old" phone that you might still have?.................I tend to have my old phones for a while when I change phones.
