OLTP begs for sympathy

Hi,
This is just one big cry for sympathy.
I know it's my own fault, it slipped from my cold fingers. But now my magician is stone dead, no blinking led anymore, no activity when connected with usb, nothing when you press the power button, soft-reset or whatever. I removed the battery & the sim, inserted it again, nothing happens :-(. Now it just feels strange, sort off naked without my magician on my side, no 7*24 web-access anymore :-(
So any response is welcome, even if you call me names. If you got any idea how to solve this pls let me know. Otherwise it will be going off to the repair center tomorrow afternoon. I'm even thinking what my replacement will be: a wizard, a prophet or just wait till the HSDPA devices come out this year.
Refards, M

hi oltp,
sorry to hear that (
i'm with you...
bad, bad, bad..
i'd better wait for small factor HSDPA/HSUPA device...
my hima was dead once, and those three weeks were like eternity...
buzz

Tnx buzz,
Three weeks without it, only the idea makes my wanna cry & all shivery. I think I'll follow your advice, but first wait & see what the repair center will do. If I'm very lucky it will be repaired under warranty, it's still covered by it. Only normally not valid for this kind of damage :-(

Good luck

Small update: Went to the shop I bought it at last june. Good news it's covered in a two year warranty & they ship it for free to the repair center. Bad news they needed the invoice as well & I didn't bring it with me. They didn't even wanted to check their computers to see what data is in there about my magician or whatso-ever :-( Now I've got to go back tomorrow again & they take around ten working days to fix it, so a three week period without magician will be reality I guess.
Man I do feel stupid.

What are these devices?

HSDPA & HSUPA
Those are the next generation devices. Now we got GPRS, which will be replaced by UMTS, which will be replaced by the even better HSDPA.

Hi oltp,
Thats really really sad to hear and i know how incomplete it feels when we are without our device, even for a day..
Anyway hope everything goes fine under warranty.
But i heard that warranty expires if you do a ROM upgrade or a patched Big Storage. Hope the repair centre doesnt finds it out.
Il pray for you, don't worry..
Regards
Carty..

Hi Carty,
Thanks man indeed I'm worried about the 'minor changes' made to my device. The rom-upgrades I've done don't worry me the least, cause they were all TMO supplied, but the other changes might be dubious. I've send it in wednesday and the lovely lady at the desk assured me it will all be ok, maybe they'll give me an other one she even said. Nothing heard anymore since then, which is normal in my opinion. So now I count the days...
Regards, M

Last update on this:
I got a NEW magician, they covered it under warranty & I'm about the happiest person on the forum for today. Course I got the patch the rom to BIG Storage again to be able to restore my backup properly, but that's peanuts. & I need to buy a new screen protector, which will be delivered tomorrow. The old one wasn't returned & I didn't want to make a great fuss about it. They're actually sending me a new standard one, but I like the Brando ones more.
Thanks everone for feeling with me.
Cheers for now, M

Congratulations! Getting a replacement for free is something that doesn't happen in many countries. Just take good care of your new baby. :lol:

You bet I will ;-)

hey dude, sorry to hear your phone's dead. It must likely be truly dead, seeing as you've tried all the repair shops, but I thought I'd type this out anyway, as I just saw some of your old post on the topic to do with "I got into boot loader by connecting wires directly to battery pins and now reflashing"
You were asking
Do U know that trick of stripping the wall charger and than short the pins ...
Which is the 1st Pin from bottom or from top..

...did u ever try it? The other thread I used to look at had this:
Default wires
NO need to i will explain in detail.
1. Take ur phone and put it on ur table =)
2. Turn it so u can see the camera
3. On the right u see 6 Pins.
4. The Pin 1 is nearest to Camera
5. Pin 5 would be far away from camera.

and this
it worked for me with the sixth pin to by the way but that might be why it doesn't work without the wires for me yet.

Hey triplejay
How r u dude..I m currently using an old nOKIA 3315
YES i did tried the charger trick ...dint help.Any other trick..
Well I think i shall give one last shot with this trick.(my phone is still in service stn i have to collect it yet)
The repair guy told me that there is some problem with the "POWER IC"..
He told me it will be repaired at a cost of around Rs3500 i.e around 87~88US$.
I agreed to go ahead for repairs and than next day I called him ..
To my horror he said it cant be repaired as he is not able to find the spares..
He told me the entire board needs to be repalced at a price of Rs.17000.00
i.e.425 US $ .I had bought the phone for 2000Rs (500$)
And I had told him not to repair n here i m with a dead neo.

well you should try a fully charged battery of another prophet user like me ,or may be pass me your permanent cell number privately. if this works and you enter bootloader mode and then format wm5 nvid and swear not to touch rom's again . service centre guy scare you off ,its policy wise correct they charge double the amount for battery Rs2500 which u get for Rs1200 at other places . i can understand your pain cause i lost my ipod mini same way , i think battery is culprit here .don't loose hope.but if you have connected reverse terminals then you might have burnt it already.

Some sign of LIFE
To my surprise when I bought the phone from repairs and put the phone to the wall charger the NEO the batt LED just turned RED and than went off after a few seconds...
What Is the problem with this phone

do you sell your device?

Wht do u mean.
i may sell it off if it does not get repaired..
(GOD PLS,HOPE THE PHONE STARTS WORKING )
i have the BOX with all the acessories including the stylus and HF not used atall.

This is for the HTC
Hi,
can any one tell me what is POWER IC.
the service guy told me its the problem with power IC.
The estimation was around 90$.
But later informed me that part is not available any where on the planet earth...
and the entire board needs to be changed.and guess what he told the estimation "A COOL 425$"
i have some doubt :
why is the spares so expensive??
If the spares are not available than why does HTC manufacture such a phone.
SHAME ON HTC for making such a fragile phone..for which they cannt provide service.
I m as a profession here in INDIA working for a japan based co manufacturing hometheater..we do service the set which are not introduced here in INDIA (obvious at a premium) but it does not cost the set itself.
I think most of you will agree with me on this.
(pls second the motion if u guys agree.)
any ways mean while i mailed HTC but no use i dint get any respond from their side.
I think the company willnever pay attention for a petty issue like mine.
But its admin and moderators guys of the forum who if put a word with the company will take some measures.
PLZ Dont get me wrong and take it in true spirit.

Will This Solution Work.
HI
yesterday I had put my phone on an external charger the phone gave me a RED LED atleast now after eventually giving no sign at all...
Do u guys think this can help me further

Why not tell the detailed symptoms here to the experts here before taking it to a repair centre?
perhaps you can find a solution on this great site!
Good luck,

This.
There's a lot of experience here. I've owned an Exec for about half a year and I've learnt so much. Several times I was going to bring it in for repairs but with this forum and my laptop, I did it myself.

Ok, so i tell you how it was,so three months ago i owned my touch and it worked alright for about 2 months, but after that time i read somewhere that i can flash my touch to wm6.1,so i tried to flash it,but when i was unpluging my htc from usb i dropped it on the floor and what i thought something broke inside and it started to hanging on when i tried to use it,so i searched for something that can repair it and what i found was this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476152 i followed all the steps and when i tried to disconnect the lcd the flex or something like that broke off from behind lcd and when i tried to fix it with normal tape it doesn't worked maybe i just stick it not correct,i don't have idea and what i think it is that problem because i put the plastic on the processor like what it says above,please help what can it be the problem, and if it is expensive to repair,please!!!

I post you what is my problem but you don't reply me,please reply!!

I dont think they need a receipt to know the warranty. I know my friend who has got the cellphone changed twice from HTC. They collected the phone from home (in UK)

You got to be careful, because some fixes under warranty automaticly update the phone to the latest version of OS and if you get the latest verison of OS you won't be able to unlock it the easiest way; with chevron

well,
yesterday i got my omnia 7 back, and it works like a charm.
they replaced the main board
woohooo
great phone

You're gonna hate me but... You import a phone sim free, you have no warranty or technical service in your country... Why would you risk flashing it?! I would never do that! Anyway it's your money, I hope you get it fixed and learn a lesson.

i don't know where you have read that i imported it, or that i don't have warranty...
yes i have bought it in a nabouring country: netherland
BUT! thats where the fun part is i live in belgium and samsung has a benelux warranty: meaning if i buy a phone in holland or luxebourg, i have warranty in belgium, neat isn't it or viceversa i did my reseach
so yes i "imported" it (payed half what it costs in belgium) but i DO have warranty, and now they fitted a new mainboard and the phone rocks!!!!
why flash it? latest firmware: better preformance, in my opinion and now wait for mangoooooo

Hey! I have no idea how this happened, it's probably the xda app acting crazy. My post wasn't meant for you but for sasukee in the other thread. How weird! Will copy and paste.
