Wynsak · 05-27-2009, 08:07

Hi, I received a N95 8Gb for a face change. After 1 day, the customer came back, complaining about he following:
- Draining battery in 5 hours
- * key not working
- Music player not working
- Phone not charging

I think he is taking a big chance, because non off this problems seems related. I did the followin:
- Formatted mass memory (data were corrupted) music player now working
- Replaced cracked charging block
- Replaced keypad ic (ESD)
Only problem i can't sort out is battery life.
What could be the cause off the battery not lasting?
Tested the battery this morning (2.1 v)

put the phone thru a power supply and see if its leaking any power

while its off. For the * button its prob a results of a aftermarket housing. Try taking nuberpad off and press the button and see if anything happens.

if it dont work try taking the keypad off the board and see if there are any rust under the keypad if so clean.

Thanks. The * button was solved by replacing ESD ic. I fitted original housing. Connected phone through power supply. PCB and all components stay cool. No overheating. Any other way to test?
