My N8 does not respond anymore!!! I have updated its software, not withoug difficulty, with symbian anna 1/2, and 2/2 one week ago. On friday, Ovi informed me that there is a new update for the software, I accepted the update. While updating the phone jammed and then the computer jammed, I was obliged to reboot the phone and the computer as well. Since then the phone would not turn on!!! I tried the software updated, but still the computer does recognize my N8. I guess it has to be on to be recognized. If I push the power button for 10 sec, it does not turn on, it only vibrates, and the USB lead starts to flash!!! I do not know what to do to have my phone go back to normal.

If you depress the power button for 8 seconds you get 3 vibrations and device is then off, so you should then try to re-start it normally!

I have tried that already, it doesn not work!! it vibrates 3 times and then when I push the button again for 8 sec, it vibrates one time, without having the phone turned on, nor have it recognized by my computer so that I can reinstall the update!!!

Hi, I got exactly the same problem now while updating my well-functioning N95 8GB today after seeing that Ovi Suite suggested to do so! Now I have a phone which only is able to give me a grey screen and doesn't react at all and the PC doesn't recognize it....

Sorry guys, but the only thing you'll be able to do is bring your phone to the local Nokia Care Point.

If you've tried @aspergerguy's advise them I'm afraid you will need to visit a Nokia Care Centre to get the Firmware flashed.
