might need to calculate FAID using noktools by rolis

[andy_con]

right i see. do you have a copy of that programme i can use. ive never calculate FAID before, how do i go about doing that???

[wai3000]

here you go
you need to use it with your m bus cable

[andy_con]

ok thanks so how do i calculate FAID using this programme then. sorry to sound dumb, ive only just started out with mobiles

[wai3000]

connect M bus cable to phone,
turn the phone on
click on FAID button
and it should say (Bottom left) FAID calculated

unconnect cable and turn the phone on it should work

[andy_con]

Dear Friend,
If the phone works normaly, i.e. you can enter the menu and use it, then IT IS NOT A FAID problem.
It is a hardware one.

Change PA or simply flow it with hot-air equipment.

@doctormike:
It's my understanding that the antenna switch would more likely be the cause!? Isn't that the first port of call before the pa?:(

i have a problem here too! it's also 8210. after i make a call, (after hang up) the signal drops, until no signal at all sometimes..
what's the problem? thanks...!

As you can see from this pic, it could be any of, or a multitude of components that could be damaged.
