I will my friend, I will, but right now I'm a little bit stressed I have an exam tomorrow and, and some others exams this week, I am going to add more info to the wiki

Ahhh, un Craiovean, te salut fratioare. Eu tot craiovean sunt, dar eu sunt mai plimbaret si am ajuns prin Bucuresti. Cunosc in Craiova un service care rezolva bine de tot probleme, au si vechime si experienta: http://x-land.ro X-Land se numeste firma, si te-as sfatui ca ma intai sa discuti prin e-mail problema cu baiatul, adica ii trimiti un mail la adresa specificata la contact, poti sa-i trimiti inclusiv cateva poze din cele facute de mine si sa-i explici ce si cum sta treaba si sa-ti faca un pret. Pentru tine ti-as recomanda un simplu reflow, mai ieftin dar nu garantat, iar daca baiatul iti recomanda un reball, mergi pe reball.

Uite e-mailul si numarul lui de mobil: adrian(AT)x-land.ro , 0723.222.282 (sa nu uiti sa inlocuiest (AT) cu @).

Eu l-am gasit pe Craiovaforum si am fost incantat de serviciile lui.

Oricum eu am fost foarte dezamagit de acest telefon, in afata de soft, este foarte prost construit si si-a batut joc de tot numele NOKIA... cu parere de rau, dupa ce am detinut 2, te sfatuiesc sa te scapi de el!

Mersi mult nu stiam de acest service ,cat despre tel nici nu am idee mi la lasat fratele meu acasa cand a venit din Italia mi-a zis doar ca numai primeste cartela am fost o zi pe lipscani cu el si au zis ca nu au ce sa-i faca ,o sa incerc sa ajung la baiatul respectiv zilele astea.
Numai bine

yup add it whenever you have time as this idea would save many other phones which deserve it not just n900

Please, if I'm not asking to much write a reminder about this in my thread. I don't want to forget something as important as this!

Cu placere, asteptam vesti aici daca al tau a fost usor de recuperat sau a necesitat inlocuirea cipurilor.

Ok, I did the paper under sim, worked for a while.
Then had to do the 'hammer' trick, again, worked for a while.
Now going to attempt the 'springs' last resort.

I am about to disassemble one of my N900's for the first time ever.
I am looking for the best info on this there is.
1) Disassembling.
2) Identifying the GSM chip. (Where it is on the motherboard.)
3) Applying the 'fix'


Can you help me please?

Why, not enough info in this thread?

Ok thanks, just a little nervous (and lazy).

identify the cpu ,the gsm chip is on the oposed side of pcb "under the cpu" ,at least heating that chip solved my sim problem

Ok, I took a look at these.
According to this:-

The person applying this fix:-http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/3...1226155843.jpg

Has applied it to the four chips under the shield marked "FM Transmitter Antenna" in the first picture.

Comments please?

that is too much , my opinion , i have heated only one chip, that spring solution looks like a hack and slash fix
