Hey guys,
Would anybody happen to know where I can get a hold of the PCB/PWB/Motherboard (whatever you want to call it.) of a Lumia 800?
Yes, I know I'm a fool for letting myself damage it, but I can't resist my urges sometimes.
Thanks in advance for the help, and yes, I have tried Google.
You'll probably be better of getting a new phone at this point. I am fairly sure the PCB as spare part would be more expensive. Lumia 800 sells in the UK for around 140 sterling right now..

this is for all you out there thinking of getting Nokia's Lumia 710 & 800...
1 go to your nearest car phone warehouse
2 get a contract or buy sim free
3 you phone comes with no sim lock so you can put any micro-sim card you want in it and its unbranded too
4 hope this helps
I want to ask you if it's a joke?! :/
I mean, everyone know that paying full price for a mobile freesim will be an unbrand one...
Just you have to spit out the money... That isn't something new... It helps in no-way... :/

This also works for contract phones.
Most indirect dealers will give you an unbranded device - this way they can use the same stock for all networks.
also works with most pay as you go phones too. See mobiles.co.uk its carphonewarehouse cheaper web site
Hello everyone. I'm still in search for the motherboard (ENGINE BOARD) for lumia 710. Already more than a month of nowhere I can not buy.
In General I suggest this topic highlight for discussion purchase of spare parts for lumia 710.
If anyone knows where you can buy the ENGINE BOARD, write in the subject or in my personal messages
What do you need it for? If yours is broken send phone for repairs and Nokia will suggest swap.

The phone I bought in the USA and I live in a completely different country. On this I can not send the phone in the us for repair.
Nokia should have international warranty. Try taking to a local nokia centre and see if they will fix it. I know a friend who bought a phone in europe and they still serviced it here in India.
Service goes region wise. A phone bought in india cannot be covered under warranty in europe. Or a phone bought in north America cannot be covered under warranty in south America or anywhere else. You must live in the same region.

What if you desolder NAND flash and flash the loader manually ?
1. Replace Lumia 800 engine board with Lumia 710.
2. Flash Lumia 710 unlocked bootloader.
3. Win!
The boards are not at all alike.

Are you sure the phone is USA one? what RM is it. Maybe we can do something to trick Nokia. And how much are you willing to pay in the end?

I have RM-809 (T-mobile), Bought in the United States. In the USA they can charge to fix, but I have no way to send it there. If anyone interested can sell the phone man from the USA. I learned in the official service of the nokia, the phone is out of warranty and they repaired it for free, provided that the phone WILL BE SENT FROM USA.
I live in Ukraine, and friends in the States no. The solution I see two or sell the phone to the person with the United States, or to purchase your motherboard.

why is it out of warranty? what is the problem with it to be out? you broke it physically? i can check phones history, warranty and country it is from, intended to be sold. you have to PM the IMEI. i know it is not wise to send IMEI to strangers, but i am a Nokia Care Point. if you want pm me. also if i can find you a main board it would be an rm-803 Unbranded or Cosmote. Cheers

First of all I would disassemble the phone to find out the nand flash manufacturer and model. Second I would try to find some one with flash progammer and JIG which supports the flash above. Then I would I would ask some one to dump first 1-2 mb of working phone, and flash it to your nand chip, and solder it back.
Note this is only theory, if you kill your phone I'm not resposible for this, so think twice before you do something.

Not a common problem, but why didn't you just exchange it where you bought it from if it was brand new?
A more common problem is dust in the FFC and proximity sensor, though.

Because I bought if of someone they had it on contract and I think they bought it from someone prior to me so I am third owner it would be a nightwear trying to sort it out that way so this was the only way the phone is brand new.I hope I get it back soon it's a lovely phone in yellow.
Well I contacted them today via chat and the agent said my handset has been swapped for a new one and should be back this week it was unrepairable beyond economical repair.The phone itself was only 5days old what could of happened to it?I was going to claim the free wireless charger but if the details have changed can I still get it?
The free charger is only available or I should say was only available to AT&T customers only. That deal is now over. Also unless you bought it straight from AT&T then good luck on getting as it was not Nokia that was doing the special.
That's strange because I am in uk and on my box it clearly says offer is still valid for uk customers I have a unique code on my box.

i saw on wpcentral.com that there is an actual promotion for a free wireless charger for the 920, and a free back cover and charger for the 820

that might shed some light

Is there anyone that would be willing to unlock the bootloader on my Lumia 800 for me in the UK? The ATF boxes are quite expensive and not worth me buying one for a one-off unlock.
Ask here

Hi,
The 800 will also require very precise and somehow risky cut on the shielding to get good access to the TP locations. Maybe there is a better way via IR station and full removal of the shield, but i have no idea how to do that. Also i don't offer such service, maybe for a bottle of Jack Daniels and if you send the PCB only (plus ret postage) ?
BR, Chris
So I recieved my 920 1,5 years ago when it was a premium phone. I bought it first for taking videos at low light (when I go out with my friends) and have a good skype-frontcamera quality, because I live far away from my family.
Enough said, it got the first problems 1-2 months later, it didn’t charge anymore and frontfacing camara got dusty. I got the phone back from technical service, (with little artefacts behind the screen in the lower button zone) and as soon as I plugged in my earphones for the first time, the whole audiosystem was down, inclusive bluethooth.
By that time, the frontfacing camara, got dirty again, so I gave the phone back for another repair. Got it back, and some months later, battery plug got broken again, and frontfacing camara was dirty again. I started to get very angry, and wrote to nokia / microsoft technical service online, that I’m fed up with the problems, only 1 year, and the phone is all time at repair, for the same problems. I said I want a definitive solution, maybe a new phone, I don’t want to spend more money on gasoline and stay 2 weeks without phone!!! And then, have to reinstall everything. They promised a final solution, but a new phone wasn’t in question. I told, ok, as lon as this is the last time I’ll have to repair the phone, for me its ok (although I knew I’d have the same problems again)
Now, another 2 months later, frontfacing camara with dust, and freakin batteryplug starts failing again.
What do I have to do with these pirates???? Please help me, I’m really angry and sad at the same time. Its everyday harder to skype with my family because of the dusty camera, and the batteryplug won’t survive much longer.
Then I saw my girfriend, she broke her Iphone screen, and apple came at her home to take it and repair it for free, even if it was her fault.
Another friend of mine got 2 times the same issue on his motorola, and they gave him a new phone for free.
Why does microsoft play that bad with his customers??? I mean, it was a premium phone, unlocked, so I paid even more!! And I think they lost more money with all that repairs, instead of giving me a 925 (thats even cheap right now) that seems not to have any particular faults.
Maybe they can give you microsoft lumia 535????.
Go away with that Lumia 535 Phone....
Buy another Lumia 920 Phone on ebay or buy another Phone like Lumia 1020 or the Lumia 930.
The 535 have only 512 Megabyte of RAM!
Buy a new phone???
Are you kidding me??? Its a lumia 920, its still on the top and still in warranty, I want microsoft to fix it, any Idea how to forcé them???

Good luck! I have sent my 920 in about 7 times....I have gotten two new 920s with the same 3G to LTE handoff/battery issues...they will not give me a different model, just keep giving me the 920. If you send in enough, they will give you a "new" 920.
