How much is this damn thing (n-gage) worth?

andymol21, have you tried solving it yourself? I'm just asking because, as I said in another topic sometime ago, my N-Gage also got the WSOD but at the time I'd never heard about it so I just forgot about it and bought a new phone. Almost an year after that I read here in the forums about the WSOD and thinking that it could be the problem with my NG I searched the net looking for a solution and after tinkering with it for a while I managed to bring it back to life, and it's still fine and dandy to this day. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what I did, but who knows, maybe you can also resurrect yours without paying for a reflash.

I have to admit the QD's D-pad isn't very comfortable. The original's might be better but I never tried (it looks more comfortable, but I'm not sure it's precise).

Ivo.

Sooo many times. Do you have a QD? I heard that it was easier to get those back from WSOD.

Nope, original model. I searched the forum and apparently I wrote a post sometime ago explaining exactly what I did. Here it goes:

It started up fine but it was too unstable and eventually returned to the dead state and that trick wouldn't work anymore. Then I tried to short-circuit the battery connectors. I don't know if I was successful or not, but then I tried the first method (holding down the keys) and it started up again. This time instead of messing around I immediately did the deep reset method (*#7370#) and it's working well so far. I'm gonna try it out with some n-gage games, but the java and symbian ones I've tried so far worked fine.

Can I assume no one has said "nothing" yet?
