Re: need advice on soldering on my n800!

Ok, well, largely thanks to Briand, plus finally being able to at least discern a starting "C" from a starting "R" on the blurry schematics, along with some deduction, I know precisely which three...

Briand,
Yes, what you say is correct, although I'm not sure why you are focusing on X- Y- (26,7) at the expense of X+,Y+(24,25). And, naturally, these 4 pins are bordered on BOTH sides by a ground...

Re: need advice on soldering on my n800!

Well, I'm still determined to see if I can't at least effect some kind of kludge (yes, I am that stubborn):D. I might be able to just bypass the damaged pads if I can just figure out what components...

Wow, yeah, I had noticed the damaged pads on that one item, but was thinking that there is still enough copper for the solder to stick to. As for the layers, do you mean that there are actually...

Yes, I think that holding Nokia responsible for this after an expired warranty would be pushing things. So my question still stands: does anybody have any idea what would be required (for me) to...

Unhappy Re: need advice on soldering on my n800!

You know, I've been having all kinds of problems with my (warranty-expired) N800 having boot loops, so I finally took it apart using ThoughtFix's very helpful video/pix. It seemed to go pretty...

Re: Diablo users: how often do you have reboot loops?

Chronic with my n800. Basically, it just rarely boots up! It seemed like it was most stable with the release just prior to Diablo, though recently it DID run Diablo for a few days. It then had to...

Re: Reboot loop

PDA has a noise generator. It comes with lots of example files that include one that can be filtered (hi/lo/bandpass).

Sorry if I haven't read this ENTIRE thread, but I was sure my N800 had h/w problems of a smilar nature, plus odd clicking noises, and flashing to OS2008 'healed' it all. Be sure you've tried that.
