Nokia 3310: Why wont the nokia 3310 turn on after inserting lithium ion battery

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 08:50:41 -0700

I recently found an old Nokia 3310 and charged it. later it made some beeping sound that was about it needing a simcard. So i went and got one but just about when i got a simcard for it, it just died. didnt even get a chance to insert the simcard. i thought that the battery was completely dead so i bought a new one. This one was a lithium ion one. So i replaced the old battery with the new lithium one and began to charge it again. BUT. the strange thing was that it wouldnt turn on at all and somehow it discharged the battery when it was inside the phone. Why wont it turn on?

Nokia 3310: Why do I have no network coverage?

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 20:05:22 -0700

I'm pretty sure the phone is properly unlocked and i put my sim card in and activated it on my cell phone plan and no matter where I go (places where on other phones i get great coverage) i get no signal. Is this an issue with the phone, the carrier, unlocking, or just a bad antenna? what do i do to fix the problem? would i just be better off buying another one since i may have a faulty handset?

Nokia 3310: Classic Nokia 3310 Ringtone and Composer problem

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 05:49:02 -0700

Hello, I just bought a good-condition nokia 3310 today and I saw no problems at all in the first look. After I bought it, I tried the composing feature and saw that it’s not playing the notes I want, it’s just silent. After that, I tried the default ringtones and it’s not making any noise, just vibration. Seems like the phone is either on silent mode or there is a problem with the speakers. Any answers to solve this?

PS: I read another topic on this question, yet it just doesn’t provide an answer I expected so.

Nokia 3310: Can I install another language?

Sun, 11 Apr 2021 03:01:22 -0700

Hi,

So I know this is an old phone and not alot of support is longer provided. I was just wondering whether there is a way to change language on the phone? To a language that is not available through the phone's menu that is - i.e. it is not installed.

Kind regards

Nokia 3310: Nokia 3310 vs. Cherry Picker = No Network Coverage

Fri, 05 Apr 2019 11:28:27 -0700

Hello everyone,

My dad has owned his 3310 for about 19 years, and up until today, it was working perfectly.

Earlier today it got run over by a huge cherry picker. The phone is still in one piece and working, but it is unable to make calls. We keep getting the message “no network coverage” after attempting to make a call for about 15 secs.

I have experience fixing modern phones such as iPhones, but I haven’t worked on a retro phone before. I’d appreciate some guidance on troubleshooting/parts I may want to swap.

Thanks in advance!
