probs with 8210 v 5.21
 

Phone has screen problem (screen info looks staggered across the screen)
And also powers down in the middle of a call.
Any Ideas?
I do have a good 5.21, what areas of the flash can I upload to the bad phone to get it working, or is it hardware fault.
Help appreciated...

Hi,
First you must verify hardware problem. Change batery and try to solder power circuits.

So you think the power down prob is a power supply prob, I suspect this also.
however do you think this would affect the screen (I have seen this on a friends phone also, and he ended up having it replaced)

screen is ok ,there are no software or firmware faults,just open 8210 screen and remove green contact "elastamas" and replace "elastamas"from 6110 or 702,402 replace into back of screen and remember to lift earpiece legs out .good look any problems e-mail me

3310 screen if faulty or need replacing,simply take one out of a 3210 and replace,works the same,100 %.
:)

Thx for advice,
I will try it tommorrow.

Did you test your 8210 without cover?, some times the cover is the problem, and you only have to replace it.

all 8210 have "elastamas" fault the green contact behind screen,simply remove old elastamas and replace with new from 6110 or 402,702 models ,dont forget to lift earpeice legs out ,screen will work 100% ok and problem will dissapear.i know because i fit 10 phones everyday,and my customers think they need new screens.good luck

Dismantled phone today and removed screws from main board.
Removed keyboard/screen assembly.
Cleaned contact pads on main board for battery contacts and cleaned edge of screen contact strip ("elastamas").
reassembled the phone and ensured that all screws were tight.

Result:
Upto now problem free, screen ok and also made 15 minute call without power prob.

Thx for advice.
