Memory problem with Nokia 3120

Hello,

I've been downloading pictures to my Nokia 3120 via the wap interface.
There was very few memory remaining (some Ko), and it seems that with
the pictures I added, there is no more free memory.


The problem is that now, my phone does not start anymore. When I turn
it on, I can enter my PIN code and see the beginning of the startup
process, but the phone turns off by itself before I can see my
wallpaper. If I press on the keys, sometimes it turns on again , asking
me to update the date and hour, but I can do nothing (pressed keys do
not provoke anything) and the phone turns off again after a few
seconds.

I've let it one full day with no battery, but the problem remains
exactly the same.

I think the phone is missing memory space for startong, but now, I
cannot delete anything in the memory !

Is there a way to solve this problem ? For example, reseting the whole
memory from hardware ?

Thanks for any hint or help.

Could be a good idea to update the SW at a service centre.

I'm not aware of a HW reset for S40 (like) phones. You can reset it to
factory settings with *#res0# or *#7370# but I doubt this would help. And it
might be that you're phone does not reach a state where it would accept this
code input.
