    Question How to brick a Nokia N72?

    yes, you read it right, I want to brick it, permanently, without chance to bring it back to life. Just write out all possibilities, or any methods you have heard. Subtlety, in your methods will be appreciated.

    Please tell us you are not doing it to scam the insurance or the provider, so you might get a new phone. That would be ilegal.

    Please do not kiss, or lick, the Monitor.

    No, its just to obtain a new phone, w/o forging insurance, or scamming the provider. None of the answers provided will be used for illegal means.

    * Put it inside your shower, and get a shower
    * Open it, and burn it on the inside
    * Get a car battery, and connect the battery terminals with copper cables to the phone so that it gets overcharged

    EDIT: saw why you wanna do it, and, have no good ideas, perhaps the last one or the first, but dunno :S

    Reflash with new fw.... half way through either pull the battery or for a reflash of a new fw from a completely different phone

    Or I would say you can do the Clarkey method-he plugged a phone into the usb port of a printer and that was the end of that phone.

    Get an update.
    And while its till updating, snap out the battery.
    I think this will do it.

    //Why would you want to do this??

    That seems to be the best method, not to mention un-believable! How can a phone brick by pluggin it into a printer?

    Give it to your mom, cat, dog. Put it under a wheel. Go to the pool with it. Go skating down a hill and let it go. Crush it under your *ass* . Put your computer on top of it, hit it with a remission racket, throw it from a rooftop, fart on it, down the toilet and finally.. laugh at it if its dead, if its alive.. get scared.

    THANKS IF IT MAKE YOU LAUGH.

    I have been wondering the same thing since the day he told me and I laughed so hard that my ribs started to hurt from laughing.
