Thank you for your reply. Despite this hiccup I think Genie is one of (if not "the") best investments Ive made in this business, thanks for such a brilliant tool. | |

Member: 55766 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 333 | Problem solved!!!!!!!! I got impatient, I couldnt get hold of SM capacitor and not even a tantalum bead type but I did have a 4.7uf 25v electrolytic capacitor (and you did say didnt need to be SM. So I soldered this in as a temporary measure last night and tested today by successfuly unlocking 2x N95, 1x N95-8G, 2x 6500C and a 6233. Ive tried with charger attached and although board gets a little warmer I think its ok. I think this cap must have been defective in the begining because genie was supplied with 2 batteries but one just wouldnt charge so I took apart and saw that it was two gsm batteries in series to make the 7.2v and one of them was swollen, this is exactly what has happend to the second battery. I made up new battery by dismantling 2x e71 high capacity batteries and using original Genie connector (and board) connected them in series and thats what I used today. If anyone has problem with their box I suggest you contact support before breaking warranty seals unless its out of warranty (over 3 months old). I only looked in mine because I was prepared to buy a replacement if I f***ed up and I couldnt do without it (thats why I was impatient) I love my Genie |

Member: 1024 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 5,510 | Hi, I think you have one of those first batch devices that had a bad battery. It has been discussed many times, maybe you missed the old threads. About the capacitor, it is quite possible to been on lower voltage, but with overwritten details, i know its normal practice in China to label parts wrong by actual parts suppliers. Anyway, good job on fixing it yourself. BR, Alex |

I'm apprehensive about using the charger as the board seems to increase in temperature (only 5 -10 degrees) especially if lcd is on. | |
