Almost dead 3210 - what could be wrong?

[Thanh]

Hello :)

I have acquired a Nokia 3210 to "play with", as my colleague said. It doesn't turn on. Thje only reaction i can get from the phone is, after having the charger connected for several hours, both phone and battery become warm and the battery actually charges. But else - nothing.

There is no charge-indicating on the display, no sound, no reaction to the "Power" button whatsoever. The phone seems to be totally dead, if it were not for the battery becoming full.

I have opened it, there is no visible damage to any part and also there has definitely been no water inside it. My colleague said it "stopped working from one minute to the other" a few months ago and since has been sitting in a drawer.

Which part could be at fault? It seems to be a hardware fault.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Kind regards.....

Gday Thanh-long time no see,good to see ya still around!!-It appears as though ya 3210 has a buggered ccont-a common prob with these little buggers!-Try by reflowing it and see wot happens.Check voltage on caps near battery terms first,and also continuity, but I'm pretty sure this wont help ya.Use Chunks fluid damage info first ,just incase there is something foreign sitting under the i.c..If all else fails,run it over,-no more stress ;-]
