Hey everyone.
I bought a used, broken G1 off ebay and now that I've gotten it rooted & booted I've found that I am missing the longer (80mm) internal antenna cable that connects the motherboard to the UMTS antenna pcb. Without this cable there is no cell service to the phone so right now its pretty much a PDA and I'm carying around my old phone and my G1.
Since I know there are probably a bunch of users on this forum with broken G1's being kept for parts I thought I'd ask if there is anyone willing to part with one of those cables?
I'm in the US (San Diego, CA) and I'll gladly pay any reasonable shipping and "handling" costs...
Thanks.
You're best bet would be to find a broken one on ebay probably.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but it's a GREAT resource to have for your phone.

Sounds like a blown fuse on the motherboard, do a search on this forum for details of repair procedure.
How long you had the unit?
If you, like myself, are not as technically advanced as some others, and you haven't had the phone long, send it back to whomever the manufacturer was and they will likely fix it. I bought an Siemens SX56 from ebay a couple of months ago and had the exact same problem, told me to do a hard reset first, that did nothing, then I sent it in to get fixed, apparently it was easier and cheaper for them to just send me a new unit because in about a week and half, I had one at my door. Of course, the unit I sent in was unlocked, as I use cingular and the Siemens is an ATT phone, but the new unit was locked to ATT, that's how I found this site, I had it unlocked in 5 minutes. Anyway, if you have had the phone less than 60 days, I would send it in and get it fixed.
that's one problem,
I live in the netherlands, and i bought it from my uncle who lives in Singapore....and he bought it there....
But I'll check the forum to see what I can do about it....
thnx anyway

Dear h0t_Sh0t, I have few advices that might help..
1- Check if your device has International warrenty.
2- Check is the connector socket is loose from inside or not well connected, this is where the little thing goes inside the imate to connect. Mine got loose one month ago, and then was almost broke, then did not charge or make Sunc, I got it to be repaired at almost US $ 65.
Hope this helps.

i'm very sorry, but my english is not so good,
I don't really get the first advice..... (i'm very sorry, maybe a dutch guy can translate it for me(or i'll ask my brother tonight))or can someone explain it a little bit...
and do you mean by your second advice or my XDA is well connected to the cradle???(cause i can sync it with the computer, but he isn't recarging)
I'll mail some peeps who might know something to....

In case anyone was wondering... the cost quoted to me by PocketPCTechs to replace the system board on a bricked JASJAM is $590 USD, plus $60 labor.
Yeah. So I'm having them send it back.
There is also a shortage of the JASJAM/TyTN/Hermes system boards. They've had it a month, and a lot has happened in these forums since then, including some stuff that looks like I'll be able to unbrick it myself... maybe. Hopefully they didn't mess it up any worse (when I sent it, I could still get into the OS).
Unfortunately, when I managed to screw mine up, none of these recent cool programs were out -- and I had to go on a business trip in a week, so I figured I'd send it to the warranty provider and hope they could figure out how to get the radio working again.
How did you brick it?? also what was it doing??
$590+$60 labor? You can get a brand new Softbank X01HT on EBay for less than that.
I had PocketPCTechs replace the LCD on my old XDA IIs. When it came back from PPCT, there was an annoying hum in the earpiece whenever I used the phone. Made the IIs pretty much useless.
IMEI CHECK fixed mine for $40 US. plus shipping....No GSM type brick

Yeah, really. I got a TyTN on eBay from Expansys' open box deals they have there every once in a while for less than that.
Hello everyone, I recently purchased an Atrix off CL to use with the new straight talk BYOD plan. I know I can find a cheap laptop dock off CL or ebay or what not and I know it's limitations but my question is:
Since I have to change the data settings and all that, will the dock work without it knowing it has to tether or however it acts when connect to do the dock? I don't know the behavior of the dock fully or what it asks and I haven't seen anyone ask a question just like this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

When you conect to the lapdock it checks for data plan (assuming your wifi is off)
If your wifi is on however it just starts normally and you can browse and do whatever you want.(on wifi only)
There is a way to get it to work with cellular data without having to get a bigger data plan but I haven't personally tried this method but I'll send you the link.
As for buying the lapdock heres a good site to go to :
try this site all4cellular they have refurbished lapdocks for $100 and new ones for retail price.I bought a refurb and its got no issues

Thanks a lot, that's a much easier way to get around it than I found.
Also, thanks for the site too, the refurbs are up to 130 there which is about the same I saw on ebay. Have a good day!

I am so ****ed right now...
My SIM card got jammed and I pulled it out and broke one of the three golden sim connectors and now it won't read any SIM cards!
What really annoys me is that it isn't like I had an alternative. I couldn't take it to a Nokia store and get a genius to sort me out as they don't exist.
Now I have to call up Nokia and get it fixed. God knows how much they will charge. It isn't a big thing to fix but it is new.
If anyone has any tips or advice I would welcome it? How much will it cost me to get this fixed? I read that the whole board would need to be replaced which is very expensive?

Last year I had a problem with my focus and I went to an ATT service center(I don't know the proper name) and got an instant replacement. I believe these places are not widespread; you'd have to look it up. Hopefully whoever looks at it will see that it was stuck. If you forced it out, that could be a problem. First talk to the place where you bought the phone. Reattaching a connector doesn't sound like an extreme problem.
Hi, I've got this same problem and they have asked me the price of a new one as they say they have to change all the circuits. Have you find a way to fix it already?
any hints on this matter?
Cheers!
Roberto.
Damn, I had this happen yesterday, After I had successfully flashed UK firmware from Polish and got the black update, Booked it in for collection and repair, Stupid nano to micro sim adapter was to blame as it got jammed in sim tray, I guess I will be charged for repair centre to fix?
I think something like this happened as well.
I think the person who had this phone inserted the sim wrong
then that might of broke or bent one the pins
I'l looking and can only see two of the three clearly.
So will take it to get checked out. Hopefully can be fixed quite easily.
I have searched eBay and Google with various searches but have found nothing. My g3 Sim card readers pins have been damaged and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to buy a lot for repair. I can find replacement parts for many other phones but not the g3. Anyone have a link or know how to obtain this part? Or maybe even how to fix it? I got the phone very cheap to use as a media device but if I can fix it I would use it. Thanks a lot.
Probably need a whole new motherboard
OP, did you get your phone repaired? If so, where and how much was it?
