All of a sudden yesterday afternoon my RAZR just shut off and I can't get it back on. I'm charged it, switched batteries from it onto another RAZR but no luck. The SIM card is currently in another phone, so that works--but for whatever reason the RAZR can't take any calls.

When I do try to power it on though, the keys light up, but nothing comes up on the actual screen..

Any suggestions? I don't really need it anymore, but would like to get my phonebook off of it..

Moto Razr = teh suck.
You could try hooking it to a pc usinig the usb cable but that is no guaranty
that you could get anything off of it.

Water damage?

Moto PST/MPT, p2kcommander, QPST, all should be able to pull the phonebook off without even needing the phone "on".

I had insurance on my Razr which was having massive issues for a while. I'm now on my second one and it's working much better, but it's a POS phone. If you have insurance, use it, otherwise buy a good phone.

Ooh I just tried turning my razr back on and it works! Water must've gotten into it or something but now it's dry! Hallelujah.

Mine had to be on to use moto mpt and p2k. Just hope that your screen died and your phone still boots.
