    Hi,
    My Nokia N8 will not start. When i press the power button a white screen will slowly flash about 3 times and then nothing.
    I held down the power button until the phone vibrated multiple times and then tried to turn the phone on but I still have the same problem, so now Im going to try a hard reset….but I would like to know is there anyway to retrieve the data on my phone before I do a hard reset?
