Title: Is my E398 dying?
Post by: NiKSY on October 16, 2008, 11:44:41 am
Heyya guys... Sad day... My e398@ROKR stopped working all of a sudden :-| It just froze when I pressed the joystick and turned off...

Symptoms since that moment are:
-Can't turn on/or on to BootLoader mode most of the time
-When it turns on it freezes on the splashScreen sometimes
-When it does turn on completely it doesnt last for long - usually freezes or reboots before even CORElet is loaded...
-

What I've tried so far:
-Dissasembled, cleaned and assembled back together - nothing changed


I really think its some hardware problem... Maybe because $hit happens really randomly, and it even turns off itself when I succesfully get it into bootloader...


Has anyone experienced something like this so far? Please let me know what you think...

Did not fix itself... :(

So.. I tried testpointing... Last time I did it it was succesfull, pretty easy... This time - no. I get ACK ERASE without any problems. Then send 200000only with RAMldr but dont get 07.D0 bootloader... And I cant flash with MFF or Flash&Backup...


I just didnt try flashing PDS and BL backup with RamLDR... Must try that..
