Microsoft Lumia 535: Doesn't start anymore

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 17:21:28 -0700

I used the phone since 2015 until 2020, then I bought a Redmi just for the sake of upgrading, more apps etc, phone was still working

I recently wanted to reboot it just to have a dumb phone, so I charged it and showed no vital signs. Then I bought a new battery, I started it did a very short vibration, the window logo appeared on the screen for couple seconds, then black; I let it charge but anything changed.

When I plug the charger, still nothing happens, when I try to turn it on it still vibrates for a moment but nothing else happens: no window logo anymore, no anything.

I know I can reset it to factory settings but I would like it to restart it as it was just to keep few of the apps I had (specially an audio recording app and the file manager: lumia OS sucks without a dedicated app for that) and I fear that if I restore the factory settings I will struggle finding that apps still on the store.

Thanks for any advice

Apparently that went away after a few days, but after a couple of weeks the screen now doesnt turn on at all.

Nokia Lumia 820: Replaced the display, some apps don't work anymore.

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 12:48:54 -0700

Hello.

In general, I think this is a good question about the replacement of the display about any kind of mobile phone.

I was recovering some data from this old well-working Nokia Lumia 820 (people should always recover one's memories) and I broke the display accidentally.

I have replaced the display. The display and the digitizer are working properly, some apps are working but someone else aren't working anymore.

It is necessary to take some precautions when replacing a hardware component. In fact, the hardware could work properly but something could happened to the software, that I don't know.

Moreover, the mobile phone keeps only the date and the hour predefined in the firmware, each time I switch off and on again the phone.

Nokia Lumia 1520: My lumia 1520 not charging

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 09:27:59 -0700

My lumia 1520 doesn`t charge. It can connect to a PC through USB. When it connects to a pc or charger, the battery icon is flashing and it won't lose power anymore. But in fact, it doesn't charge. I have reinstalled its software by using windowsphone recovery tool. But it still doesn't charge. I'd be truly grateful if you give me a hand.

Microsoft Lumia 535: How to open FoxPro files on my phone?

Sat, 07 Sep 2024 19:28:29 -0700

With the help of complex manipulations, I learned how to open FoxPro files on my phone. This forced me to work. I often have to make data "on the go." But I can't solve the complexity for several days already. I can't open the file because of an error that the file is not recognized. But I'm sure that before I had no problems with this file. Guys, I hope that you can offer something.
