i have this nokia 1220 phone.

i thought that i would charge it to its fullest. so during the last few days, i turned off the phone. and i just charged it for about 3 hours everyday. i didn't do it in just one day.

i kept charging it, but it didn't show me a sign that it has been full. so i just kept charging it from monday till thursday.

and during those days, i turned on just to play the games for a while.

today, i can't turn it on any more. no matter how many times i have pressed the on button.

and i tried to charge the battery, i don't see a sign of charging at all.

so i am just wondering maybe i have actually overcharged it?

is there anyway to get it back?

Have you try to reset it?

I have a Motorola V300 and is doing that also, the guy at the shop said to reset it or take it apart, sim card and everything and that should help.

probably. i have to go home and read the manual to find the place to reset it.

i certainly don't want to spend extra money buying a new battery.

before you reset it, try just taking it apart - battery and card - and putting it back together, that might be enough. It worked for me the first time it happened.

no, it didn't work.

i tried to just take out the battery. and put it back in again. nothing happened.

i don't know where the sim card is inside.

i suppose that i will go home and try to read the manual, then reset. that is what i was planning to do.

i am jus a little worried that i might have to buy a new battery. that would suck.

Typically there is a tiny hole just big enough to fit the tip of a paperclip into that is used to reset.

I use a medium size hammer and then go to the phone store and pickup a new one.

WHy don't you just go to one of the stores of the service company you have and ask them to check it out? They might be of help!
