D500 was handed to me for repair (liquid damage)
Handset was not powering up, but when battery was removed and reconnected, the screen lit up white (without pressing on/off button)
I dismantled the handset and inside there was alot of liquid on the boards.
I removed the liquid, then cleaned and dried the pcb's.
I reassembled the handset (I have done D500 before several times) and now it is completely dead.
I even opened it again and checked evrything using the D500 dismantle video and I had it all right.
But still 100% dead :(
I have tried getting a program to read the fone, but nothing :(
I am using D500 powered (9-Volt) serial (com port) cable.
I have tried onenand, winimei and SUS but all of them say something like they are waiting for me to press the on/off button.
Of course I am doing this, but nothing happens.
The phone is 100% dead :(
Please help

Try PCB Cleaner on your boards...

Would also suggest trying a different battery (Fully charged from another phone as they cannot be charged in a dead phone....

Then follow these instructions (At the bottom of the document) for reviving dead phone/ white screen...

71780

Also, if its hanging.. try this

71781 ... Worked for me many times now

Thanks for your replies.
But the fone is 100% dead - no white screen anymore. No keypad lights.
I cannot flash the fone or read any info from it because nothing recognizes the on/off button being pressed :(
Any more ideas please?

TIA

hi there had this prob lots of times and the only thing that works for me is removeing the internal batt. take the back off and you will see a small battrey like one out of a watch you need to remove this just snap it off with a small screwdriver but be carefull not to damage anything else reasemble the phone and it will switch on. evey time i have done this it works 100%:D
only draw back is the time and date will reset each time you take off the batt to put sims in and out;)

Funny you say this... I had an N-Gage QD and I done this also.. as the internal battery contacts were corrupted... I snapped it off... then simply cleaned it up and resoldered it...

Worked fine :)
