can be a software corruption which can be fixed with a "flash" of the phones
software.search on google for "Nokia DCT4 Flash". You will need a Flash
cable (about 15 dollars ) to do this but the software is free on the web to
download

Thanks for the reply Kenty,

Having never done it before, I wasn't sure if the phone could be
flashed with it not working properly.
