It's possible that you've got some corrupted memory of some sort, perhaps/possibly due to an attempt to write to memory while the battery was running out of power or interrupted for some reason? Start with the external chips -- Try removing your memory chips and rebooting. If this works, then you might have a corrupt external chip, which may require formating if you can't read them. See if you can read the chips in another computer. You may or may not be able to salvage some info if this is the problem. There are apparently some problems with some chips and previous versions of the OS corrupting chips... If this doesn't work, you might have a corrupted internal memory. Flashing the lastest OS update MIGHT (or might not) work. If you haven't done a recent backup, you might have a bit of work reinstalling everything. There's instructions on how to do get the latest update at http://europe.nokia.com/A4305006 At least it's worth a try. Jonathan D.
