Generally this phone is taking 2-3 minutes during start up.If your phone takes longer than this there might be some problem.So, my comment is to format by following this Nokia Formating tips.For your mmc first insert another or put your mmc to other phone.If your mmc is working in other phone you should need to contact mobile repairing shop for hardware repair.Thanks for visiting fixya

Formatting the memory card
When a memory card is formatted, all data on the card are permanently lost.
Some memory cards are supplied pre-formatted and others require formatting.
Consult your retailer to find out if you must format the memory card before you
can use it.
• Select Options→ Format mem. card.
Select Yes to confirm. When formatting is complete, enter a name for the
memory card (max. 11 letters or numbers).

Backing up and restoring information
To back up information from your phone’s memory to the memory card, select
Options→ Backup phone mem.
To restore information from the memory card to the phone’s memory, select
Options→ Restore from card.
You can only back up the phone memory and restore it to the same phone.

Locking the memory card

3230 memory card corrupted

Personally I use this phone.
You need to format the phone. To do that press *#7370#
Phone will ask for security code, press 12345 (if you've not changed the sucurity code) , then ok
Phone will restart and will take some time to format. After format you'll find your phone speedy.

Don't forget to back up all your phonebook and other necessary files before format.

Best of luck

1) when i switch on my phone it always tells me "phone start-up failed, please contact your retailer"..

2) how do you reprogram the nokia 3230 phone?

this should do the trick...press star, call button(the green one), three, and power button all together while powering up your phone..press them until formatting comes out then you release them..note: don't release buttons until formatting does not appear....try and try until you succeed

Format your mmc and fone memory both and try it ..........
