X8 won't turn on with sim inserted..help!!!

The battery completely died out on my X8 overnight!! Now it won't switch on when the sim is inserted. It comes on without the sim and charges up, can use internet etc., but with the sim inserted it turns itself on and off. Once I tap in my pin code it switches off. The sim is not the problem as it works fine in an old phone.

Any ideas??

Hi, hopefully the following works ....

Off phone with SIM Card inserted, press and hold MENU, the middle button, then ON/OFF button (together) till phone vibrates and boots up.

Test phone to see if problem still exists. Fingers crossed.

No, unfortunately that didn't work...thanks for trying!!

how about backup and then repair your phone with Update Service or PC Companion (remove the SD and SIM card)

use Update Service, you will lose everything but its worth it if it fix your phone
