My Nokia 5300 says "CONTACT SERVICE" when I open it. What could be wrong?

I was just listening to my phone's mp3 and it's almost low battery. And then, it shut down and when I charged it, reopened it, the phone is now blank and says, "CONTACT SERVICE" in red font. What could be wrong and could it still be fixed?

"the battery from the handset,leave it for 5 min and then insert it back and start the phone"

Been there done that.

You can try first before going to a tech guy to remove the battery from the handset,leave it for 5 min and then insert it back and start the phone.I think this should work.If is not working you could try to update the software.Detail about updating the software on www.nokia.com
