My Nokia 5130 XpressMusic bricked around a month back and says "Contact Service" when I start it and instantly shuts down.
This happened abruptly, and was not triggered by an update or an application. I was using it, signal dropped to zero for an hour, battery was low so I switched it off and then restarted after connecting charger and started getting this error message.
Nokia Care is asking for Rs. 2000 to fix it saying its a "hardware problem" and need 13 days to return the phone. Didn't think its worth spending this much on the phone when its market price is only a little more for a new one.
Is there a simpler or cheaper way to repair the phone ? And what exactly can cause this problem ? Service center guys didn't even open it and they said its a hardware issue so I think it could have been a bluff.
