Dead Mobile

[driftwood]

My Galaxy A30 has gone belly up.
Started making a humming noise.
Nothing showing on the screen.
None of the buttons would do anything.
Held the power button on to make it stop.
Now it's quite dead.
Time for a new one?

Yes!

Have a look at the deals most providers are offering for a new user.

I'm not a new user, I've had one for years.

I think CliveM is probably referring to the deals you get for signing up with a provider.

PBTech have some deals - these are the sub $200 offerings

Thanks guys, looks like a new phone for Xmas

[king1]

the buzzing is kind of a bad sign but you should also try a soft reset

Some reasonable deals from the likes of Noel Leemings dressed up as Black Friday promos. I'm looking at a new Samsung A25 from NL to replace my OH's ancient Note 3 currently.

I found a good used A30 so it fits into the same hard case I used for the other one.
