P800 fails to Boot

My P800 won't boot past the Sony Ericsson splash screen. It went into one of its occasional lock-ups showing a 10minute warning, something that it has done very occasionally for as long as I have had the phone. Unfortunately unlike the other times, removing the battery does not reset it out of this mode. I have also tried the back-up utility but is doesn’t get as far as enabling the USB communications.

Is there a key combination I could use (blind) or secret place to hit a reset switch?

Thanks

Sounds like maybe you filled the "internal" memory up. Hopefully not cause the only fix is to send it to a SC.

I got the lame "must send to SE" response.

Pitty they can't tell me any secret backdoors to interupt the boot or do a reset. The phone loads enough to be able to hande the switch, LED, charging indications and put a up a logo so its not exactly dead.

Anyone know the key sequencies to get into diagnostics?
