Validation rule if vale is x then a text box must contain information

Hi,
I am trying to create a validation rule for if a value is inserted into the picklist, two text boxes must have information in them. The formula i have created so far is:
OR(
ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, “Apple”),
ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, “Blackberry”),
ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, “HTC”),
ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, “Nokia”),
ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, “Samsung”),
ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, “Sony”),
ISBLANK(IMEI__c),
ISBLANK(serial_number__c ))
If any of them values are chosen in the picklist, IMEI and Serial number textboxes should not be null.
Many thanks.

Hi Andrew,

You can refer below validation rule:

IF(OR(ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, 'Apple”),ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, 'Blackberry'),ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, 'HTC'),ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, 'Nokia'),ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, 'Samsung'),ISPICKVAL(Manufacturer_PC__c, 'Sony')),IF(OR(ISBLANK(IMEI__c),ISBLANK(serial_number__c )),true,false),false)
If this solves your problem, kindly mark it as the best answer.

Thanks,

Thankyou for your responce.
The validation rule does not have any syntax errors and allows me to save, however when I insert a value from the picklist and leave the text box blank, it will still save.

I changed everthing to 'true', and the validation rule worked. Many thanks!
