Ah! My friend. you are lucky that you ask the right person. I have fixed so many V551 with LCD defect so this symtom is usual on v551 and most Motorola Flip phones. As you know, the construction of the LCD cable has been designed by a long ellectric thin wire and one side will connect into the main and CallerID smaller LCD and the other end will connect to the main board and the part in the middle will stuck inside the hinge where the flip will apply a lot of force for the function of open and close. for a long period of usage, it will either worn out the middle part of the cable or loose the connection of either side which cause loosing display. That is why you can call and receive but cannot see anything. The simple thing is open the case and check first at the main board side for any bad contact and tougher the other side is inside the main LCD. If you find both side are still good in connection then the middle part is bad due to flipping so many time of the user in order to open and close. YOU THEN NEED TO REPLACE THE NEW LCD. I have two solutions to help you in this case: 1) View on the link below for the instruction of how to open the housing. http://sbarth.dyndns.org/seiten/rahmen.php?nav=motorolahandy Sorry the link is in German but you can look at the picture to follow. 2) Or email me at [email protected] if you want me to repair the phone for you.

i had the same problem as well. there is a small button to the top right of the settings button. you can take a toothpick or paperclip and gently tap the button several times. tap it to see if you get a response, if not then turn off the phone and turn on the phone with the button tapped.

I've had similar problem, and found that if I jiggled the charger prong, that it can make a connection. Sometimes, the connection is dusty or just not hitting the receptors in your phone. Hope that helps.

Yes you can access the address book using a data cable, but why don't you just take out the sim card if the numbers are stored on there? Or are they stored on the phone? I have a v551 with the sme problem that i am trying to fix so I have mine in pieces. If I can fix it I will let you know.

It looks like I have the same problem with my phone. I guess connection with the screen got broken in the hinge...Guys in Cingular store said that they can't fix it. I decided to buy a new phone, but now trying to figure out how to get the address book. I just posted my concern, and will hope someone will give me a suggestion. You might pay attention to it.

hmmm, look like you need a PDS repair. Let me know what software you have on your phone b4 i carry on. To find out your software press *#powerkey at the same time. tell what info you see on your moto screen

You can only transfer files by putting the sim card in other phone or by usb cable to pc then pc to new phone or by infra red if they have it but that is a bit hit and miss.

Got to settings, Initial Setup, down to Master Clear. And unless you set up a password it will be 00000000. Worked for me

Take your battery out leave out for 60 seconds, put battery back in /turn cell phone on and than re-turn off and let set for 60 seconds and let it re-boot up.Re-turn on again

If this dont work for ya...


call your cell phone company ask them to up date your cell phone they can do this right over the phone talking to ya. and when they say its been done , turn the cell phone off for 60 seconds and turn back on.

This happened to my phone and I found that if I pushed in the right spot (just about the bottom of the motorola circle, bottom meaning towards the hinge) I could get the sound to come back in. Best way to test this that I found was to call voicemail and push around to find the right spot.

if you phone is motorola i can we fix rite away

Seems lots of others have this problem too and it may be a physical problem with the device... read more at: http://forums.cingular.com/rss/message?board.id=motorola&message.id=76868

No you cant sim card does not support picture files to be stored in it, use your blue tooth or infared.

this model have many problems with the display, but yours is new at least for me, if you got a stuck button, could be the problem, but is not a big problem, get the celu to the celu store they will fix it for cheap...good luck

i finally figured it out! I have had the same problem. here is what to do. Make a phone-call, or when you answer a phone-call while connected press the arrow pointing to the right it will make the volume go up. I do not know why they do not publish this in their manual it took me months before I found this out.
