Whats the worst stuff up you have done? - GSM-Forum

This may be a bit off topic, but what is the worst stuff up that has happened while repairing a phone? Eg, Solder CCONT upside down, flash the wrong MCU, dropped the phone in front of the customer, **** away a whole heap of resistors with hot air?

reflowing an alcatel 311

I didn´t remove the sticker in the other side of the board,
and gets fired

Myself, i dont know what happened, maybe it was too much liquid flux or heat, but i was fitting a COBBA onto a 8210. There was a loud POP, and every single capacitor in that area just jumped right off the board. Also my first T28, while changing PA, I damaged the EL backlight pad.

mine was the worst by far I BOUGHT A TMOBILE CONTRACT IN UK no coverage no customer care just problems,second was trusting orange

i did a good one too..
i heated an antanna switch, and it just wouldnt come off.
so i lifted it before it was ready....about three pads left.
that was an 8850.
bummer

Hi all

I've done some really F**cked up stupid things but one thing that come to mind is another guy "Mr X" we'll call him he got a liquid damaged 6110 so he cleaned to board then put it next to a small bar heater and all was well untill he picked up the board , burn't his fingers and dropped the board and parts from the cpu to the flash lay on the floor next to the board. "that was very amusing "

Later D.

when I first got my hot air SMD rework station, i had no idea how to use it. I put on the wrong nozzle, cranked the air right up, and blew away most parts off a 3210. hehehe lucky it was a dead one!!

farsands · 12-02-2002, 13:58

At first my 3210 had no signal. I read somewhere to flow PA. I put too much flux and "fried" the pcb into a potato chip! Now, the fone is dead. Finally I discovered the reason for my problem: I forgot to put back the antenna cover. Heheheheh.
