hey guys,

this might be abit of a long shot but...

Is it possible to restore/recover my z400v using the standard OEM usb cable provided by Samsung?

What happened was this morning I was sending a txt/sms and the phone simply powered off. Removing the battery and attempting to restart the phone didn't work and now the only sign that the phone is alive is the charging screen or the first boot screen when you connect/turn on the phone respectively well briefly flicker before the powers off...in order to achieve this the batter must be removed for a decent length of time.

Perhaps the only other information I can offer is that this morning while the phone was OFF the charger the battery indicator still showed the phone as charging...

Sorry my technical jargon isn't up to scratch!

I guess other relevant information is that I'm in New Zealand (Vodafone) and that there is no indication in windows vista (SP2) that the phone is detected when i connect it via usb...

Cheers!

H.
