I need help with my 3310!

[danwood76]

Recently I bought a nokia 3310 off my mate, after about a month of use it just stopped working!
I thought that it might have been the screen, I replaced it but still no joy!
I thought that it might have been the software on the phone BUT I can flash to and from the phone and the screen and lights don't come on!
I updated the software but this didn't work!!
Has anyone got any ideas???:confused:

Cheers Danny!

By flash I take it you only did the normal software upgrade not a full flash (which has eeprom and would change the phones IMEI?)

[danwood76]

No not a full flash just the upgrade!
I couldn't update the faid etc. because I cant get it to turn on!!

Listen, download the EEPROM flash. (attached)
Open Rolis, Press "Write" in the "flash" menu (the flasher cable must be connected to phone and pc).
Open the downloaded EEPROM, Press the "3310" button (it's very important to press it!!!!!!!!!!), the press OK.
Put in the charger.
You must wait some minutes. If error change the delay (e.x. 30).
After EEPROM writed download download 3310 MCU file and the corect PPM (the language pack you want). Marage the 2 files with aw2d (You can download the flashes from http://nkflash.altervista.org/flash.htm, so do aw2d).
You don't need to power on. Just do the same trick with the charger. Open Nokia Tool 3.2x i could be finded in the forum (press search). Change the IMEI to original (i could be found on tha back of the phone under the batterey).
Then SET FAID (using Nokia tool 3.2x or Knok), maybe you must to reset the settings - In knok press "all abrove" in the "phone settings menu". Good luck!

The phone still willnot power up, even after the full flash!
So I can't use nokia tool etc.
Has anyone else encountered a problem like this??

[lonegunman]

Nope, never sorry first time I have heard of this one, let me do some seaching on this.

[lonegunman]

Things to try:

1 when you put the battery in press down on the power button as well.

2 Try putting the charger in and see if the phone will charge.

[danwood76]

It won't charge and I know for a fact that the battery has no life init!
I will try turning it on with my mates battery!
Ill get back!

[danwood76]

I tried my mates battery but no luck!
I think the phone is dead!!!
But how come I can still flash it???

[lonegunman]

Well the next step is hardware, need to check the board to make sure that it is clean and you have no damage on it (IE water or missing chips).

[danwood76]

There is no water damage that I can see!
But the power IC buzzez when you try to charge!
Does this mean that it has blown??

[lonegunman]

Guess so:(

[danwood76]

Does anyone know where I can get a power IC and how much it costs??

[lonegunman]

Not go a dead board you can take one off?

[danwood76]

Cheers Mate I will probably get one from somewhere!
Cheers for all your help!!

That's normal for my 3310 =) but it buzzes only some time after connecting to carger. (but it buzz always, when my phone has defect with charging)

You can find power-chip in Bulgaria for about 15 euro.

[danwood76]

Ive found one but have no idea how to put it on!!

I am normally good at these kinds of things but have never soldered onto a phone before!

Has anyone done it before and could tell me how to do it easily??
Has anyone got a tutorial??

cheers in advance!!

[danwood76]

I have replaced the part! But now the phone still wont turn on!
When you plug in the charger the battery Icon flashes then stops!
When you press the power button the leds flash on and off several times!!
Any one got any ideas to fix it???

[lonegunman]

Leave to charge for a few hours. (2-3 hours)

[danwood76]

Cheers Mate, I'll give it a try!
