You know, I've been having all kinds of problems with my (warranty-expired) N800 having boot loops, so I finally took it apart using ThoughtFix's very helpful video/pix. It seemed to go pretty smoothly, but now I've lost any screen responsivity (although, oddly enough, the booting has actually improved!). I just examined it under magnification, inspecting the screen's plug and socket, and look what I found! You can see the one resistor (presumably) that is dangling at one location, and I think there are two other devices missing as well.
You know, I think that I actually MIGHT have the capability of soldering that loose item (I did once successfully UN-solder a resistor like that on a Mac Mini that I over-clocked), but I have no idea what to do about the missing ones. Maybe I could salvage some similar ones from some other circuitboard / broken cell phone. Any pundits know what's supposed to be there? ( I realize this might be a stretch...)
I'm in central Mexico, BTW (and might consider finding a jeweler to help me with this)!
Thanks!
