Do you still have the Nokia?
No, it's long gone.
Did you ever take the cover off to inspect for bad caps? Bad caps didn't just happen to early 00s PCs - they hit almost everything. Lots of electronics, TVs, STBs, converters, wall warts, etc. from the period can be resurrected by a peanut sized investment in a few caps and some soldering time.
I did open the cover a number of times, to upgrade the harddrive. Never checked for bad caps.
