8890 Non Power Up Problem

[verga]

I HAVE A BUMCH OF 8890 'S THAT DO NOT POWER UP. THE CLOCK FREQUENCY AND SLEEP CLOCK ARE OPERATIONAL.
I TRY TO FLASH AND I GET ERRORS SUCH AS MCU RAM CHECK FAIL,
TIMEOUT WAITING, ALIAS ID ETC

Sounds more hardware than software, have a look at the boards to see if any damage (ie water damage) if so clean and try again, if not try a diffrent flashing software.

what flashing software could i try?

[lonegunman]

What one you useing? there is Roils, Knok, Dark Flasher to name a few, also you have Neelix, Winddp,Windls all of which have a box for flashing and the good old Dejan Dongle. I have the Neelix box and also use the Roils software.

i use wintesla and neelix
neelix wont flash a dead phone. or i dont know how to do it.
which do you recommend?

[lonegunman]

You sure? flashed many a dead phone with neelix, I take it when you press the "get info" button you get the time out or phone dead on boot count error, You say you are using Wintesla to flash the phone? if so you must have a fps-2 or fps-4, and if they can't flash the phone then you are looking at hardware fault. Check on my site have roils 4.77 on there download and try that. (flasher477 I think it's called).

OK, best to use the files in wintelsa format (normal neelix files). If you get stuck post back as I on line for a bit.
