x10i, deaded?

I checked out a few other threads, dont think anyone has been stupid enough to do this so far...

about 4 months ago, I was lost and my phone was dead, having bodged a car charger together I plugged it in.

The phone turned on, booted up and I got the SatNav software running, but before I could drive off it started flashing, screen, lights, like a tiny disco....

Then it smoked, quite a lot for a second or two, by this time I'd took battery out and dis-connected the charger but it was too late, the phone was dead.

I got home, put the battery in a desktop charger til it was full and the phone has remained at it's current condition since.


So; it won't turn on, vibrate or flash any lights. The ONLY thing it does, is power up the right hand side bottom white light between the home key and back button.

I've been Ebaying since the day I killed it for a spares one, tried buying a main board but no joy anywhere without paying over
 
hmm...indeed it really looks looks like a fried board. Your only hope would be to find somebody that might want to sell a broken unit (i mean physics like glass) and you might be able to do the swap easily. It is already documented here how to dismantle the unit to barebone.

Good luck finding one.

A good working one around my place is 200$ (
