Hello,
the folllowing thing happened to me :
- at a certain point i couldn't charge my xda anymore, and so the battery went down. no light appeared when connecting to the charger. and i couldn t start the xda anymore off course.
- i read the articles about the fuse which could be hit; and because i couldn't reach the spare fuse for the external battery, i simply soldered a solder bridge in the place of the fuse, as someone mentioned in another topic. i put everything together, but still, totally dead : no lights.
- now i don't know if this xda is totally lost or if i can do something about it. it could also be the charger which is broken. it doesn't get warm when i put it in the 'wall'. how can i check this ?
- if anybody has hints about what to do next or just trow the thing away, you could make my day ! many thanks in advance.
thomas.
You could try a usb sync charge cable, it maybe the battery has died completely also. Did you test the fuse before bridging the connection? Have you tried using the hard reset button, this is in the hole next to the headphone socket.
- i don't own such a cable, but maybe i can find it somewhere, as the qtek 1010 is not very widely spread in belgium, i could search over the internet instead of a shop.
- i did not test the fuse before removing it and soldering the bridge. which is probably quite stupid of me. the hard reset button didn't do anything and still doesn't.
- the battery could be dead also, but should'nt i see a light flashing when i insert my charger ? so my 'forecast' is that it could be a charger issue.
- maybe i could test it with someone elses charger here in belgium. i live in ghent, so if anyone is from near my place, i am willing tot travel to test your charger. i won't steal it, but then i can buy a new one over the internet. :wink:
if anybody has other testing methods for the charger, please let me know.
a simple question : should the charger get hot when plugged in ? because mine doesn't and i don't know if it ever did.
thanks for your answers ! and hoping to reanimate soon.
The charger would normally feel warm when plugged in.
err my charger's pretty cold actually...
Mine is too now that I checked but it gets warm while charging, my ipaq charger is warm when plugged in and not charging, any idea why this should be.
Can anybody help me with the following ?
i'm quite stuck in the thinking concerning the problem ...
is there anybody in europe who has a tech experience with the qtek 1010/xda and thinks he could arrange the problem i mentionned above ?
or is there anyone who knows such a person, because he had the same problem.
I want to let someone look at it, with, off course, a possible compensation in money. Is there anyone who could tell me how much this more or less could cost ? [because i am a student and use the phone mainly for testing purposes]
Thanks in advance !!! t.
Maybe a friend at college has a simple voltage tester you could use to test the charger output, the charger I have has a removable adaptor at the end of the lead, with this removed you are left with a simple barrel type connector which is very easy to test. If you cannot get a replacement charger and yours is faulty, send me a pm, and I will post one to you.
Anyone in europe who can repair my xda 1 ?
Hello,
i'm still stuck with a broken xda, as described above. Is there anyone in europe who has spare parts of the xda and is willing to repair this item ?
It would be great if anyone could help me. Please let me know what arrangments can be made. I am living in Belgium, Ghent.
thanks in advance.

Hi!
I don't know if this could be helpfull, anyway: If you still think this is a charger-problem, then you could modify your cradle as described in the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WallabyCradleMod
And another thing as well. I noticed that the main charger is making a loud fuzzing sound when connected to power, so I guess that if your's silent and cold, it might be broken. (Which is not too problematic as it can be easily bought on eBay.)
What power-connectors do you use in Belgium? I have a spare-adapter that I'm not able to use as it does not fit in the Norwegian connectors...
Good luck with the phone!
Same Problem after plugging in my ipaq 3970 gps reciever
I got the Same Problem after plugging in my ipaq 3970 gps reciever, anyone got a clue where to go with this??
iPaq pinouts...
The pin-outs is not the same on the xda and the iPaq, so power in the wrong direction may have damaged the mainboard. And that would be differcult to repair I think!
Hey guys.
Just looking for a damaged jasjam or dopod or hermes etc etc.
Needing a main board by the looks of things. Seem to have blown the charging circuit in the phone. Assume this is apart of the mainboard. Have tried new battery, charger, usb doesnt work etc.
So if anyone has a mainboard or complete phone i could buy please let me know.
PS i have had a lil expirience with it before. i smashed the lcd and got ahold of another. Replaced it and worked a treat till i fried it
Ahh well.
Cheers
Matt
Hey, I ran into a funny/dumb situation. I was on a trip and broke my micro usb port on the S3 and it was crucial for me to use the phone that couple of days (it was drained) so I found out that I can pin the wires from a regular USB cable (+ and -) out of my laptop to my battery while it was in the phone so it worked for a few times i got the charge. But then after the 5th(ish) charging the phone is not switching on... Yeah, I know, I probably fried my main board on the S3. The question is, is it worth to get it fixed? I really liked that phone though, I was not planning to change it until the S6 came out or something. Is it just waste of money and I should look out for a newer one or can fix it for a reasonable price?
Could you suggest something guys? Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
New motherboard is more expensive than a second hand phone would be.
Hello all!
I bought my Z3 tablet LTE in the first day of distribution in Italy. For various reasons I didnt bought the magnetic charging cable (I ordered it some days ago, but it's too late) and now my USB flap shows some wear with the sealing partly detaching from the flap itself.
I'd like to ask:
1) someone faced my same problem, already?
2) will sony repair it under warranty?
3) what do you think is best to do: try to find the spare flap and change it by myself or send it to sony and wait 2 weeks (at least) for their repair?
Thank you very much for all the advices and support!
Hello, I bought a motherboard on Aliexpress of a i9305 phone. The thing is it was supposed to be brand new, but Ias getting very bad data connection and the network cut off during calls etc.
So I decide to open my phone back and have a look, and when disconnecting the wifi antenna the socket got scratched off the board. I got refunded but it doesn't repair my phone. So i'm trying to figure it out. Here is a picture of what it looks like now
And here is a picture of what it should look like (it is a motherboard from a friend, to see how it should be in reality)
Where could I solder the antenna ? Is there any solution ? Thank yoou very much !!
(I'm sorry I can't ^post any picture as I have less than 10 posts on the site... Sincerely sorry any help appreciated !!!)
