phoned blocked or broken?

Anonymous · ‎29-06-2015

Has anyone had their phone blocked because they had thought it was stolen, then unblocked because they found it? If so... what is supposed to happen? I have a htc 1 mini 2... i cant switch it on at all? Not even so i cant use it, but completely blank screen... all since i had it blocked then unblocked... i dont know what to do.. who to contact or how long to wait... any advice? Xx

Nope, nothing different.
If it won't turn on and the battery is fully charged it's broke.
Just make sure it is fully charged and then hold the power button for a long time, say 20-30 secs. If still nothing it's a repair or replace.....

Definitely sounds broken. You say you may have dropped it, I presume that's in the place you found it?

As it happens (and as more is revealed) it certainly appears the phone 'is broken' .Initially I was answering the question posted about lost phones with bars placed on them by O2...:smileywink:

It would still turn on even if barred.
After checking all I suggested above, you could try a warranty repair (if still under warranty) but I suggest you contact HTC directly rather than O2 repairers.

Thanks... i contacted htc... definitely broken.. they are picking it up thursday... then it can take 10 days to repair it... and there will probably be a cost... all because i left my phone in a car over night... and thought it had been stolen so got it barred... its rediculous really.. im guessing it fell off my knee then got knocked about a tad when i was driving... but im only a middle aged woman in a matiz... not a boy racer!

Hopefully its just a loose wire and will be cheap to repair
