| i screwed my phone up
I have a sony ericson w580i
it froze on me while i was setting up my alarm
i tried to switch it off, press all the buttons but my screen still froze
so i took out the battery pack
and put it back in
and now i cant even turn on my fone
bad idea lol
i called one of the places to repair my fone and he said its a program issue and i need to repair it for $25. is that a rip? what should i do or where can i get cheaper?

does sony ericsson canada provide warranty for the w580i?
i had a w810i long time ago and had the same problem
they eventually replaced it for me but that took a while
i'd just repair it for $25. probably a firmware update fix etc. you get it back probably the same day

You can attempt a reflash by yourself.
The usual risks apply when messing around with your phone's firmware. http://myforum.lasyk.net/showthread.php?t=42498 | |

before you shell out the $25, try talking to Rogers/Sony and see what they say...if it sounds like they're cool, get them to fix it for free...if they sound like they're going to give you the runaround, cave and pay the $25  | |

you are not being smart with your money, you just don't know how to earn it, which is pretty sad when you are 24 and still have trouble finding $25...
no wonder you are still in school, i guess you don't learn much do you LOL
$25 bux won't even last me half a day just for gas alone....

Not everyone has it good.
I would do what RCubed suggested and try to reflash it yourself first. Cheaper than the full fix and you don't even have to leave the house. 
At least you know it's fixable.

good job! | First of all, I don't know where you come up with my mom giving me money, I guess you are just upset that your mommy doesn't give you shit. Second, I probably earned more money when i was 24 then you ever would in your life time. at least I don't have trouble trying to shell out $25 to fix a $0 contract price phone LOL.... in fact I could easily just throw my old phone in the garbage and buy something new. | |

Holy, chill out.
OP is trying to get his phone fixed based upon principle. It's not just about the money. Let's drop it and keep it on topic. Don't make me lay the points and ban smack down.
Everybody, cut it out or I'll make sure you get a time-out from RevScene for two weeks.
