15:26.07enycJoerg-Neo900: wow good score on parts =)
15:26.54enycJoerg-Neo900: i wonder if there is much market for n900-mainboards (with USB connector strengthened)  , presumably these are otherwise intended to be disassembled / change for neo900 boards?

16:30.04raveloJoerg-Neo900, wow, they are in "new" condition
16:30.50ravelosadly my N900 has the "SIM not found" problem
16:30.58raveloafter 2 months used
16:51.57enycravelo: common issue? bad solder jointn on simslot ?
16:53.40raveloI did not find a solution yet
16:53.50ravelotmo forum is not totally clear on that
16:54.15raveloso resoldering helps?
16:54.22enycI don't know
16:54.38enycnot seen that problem
16:55.39ravelohttps://talk.maemo.org/archive/index.php/t-36447.html
16:55.58ravelono clear solution for me
16:56.47enycok so its either contacts or soldering by looks of it generally
16:57.14enyci wonder if in some cases can use a pin to 'bend up' SLIGHTLY, CAREFULLY, those upbound sim contacts....
16:57.30enychave done such bodgey things with some bad contacts in some cases not so much mobiles
16:57.43enycbut it could just be fractured contact between simholder and pcb
16:57.53enycwhich would be sorted with heat/ resolder approach
16:57.59enycagain not for those not into proper reworking
16:59.09ravelook, i will ask my preferred cell phone repair guy
16:59.17ravelowill not try this on my own
16:59.27raveloi already tried to put some paper
16:59.31raveloalso tried to bend up
16:59.47ravelowhich on one pin went up too much
16:59.51ravelo...
17:00.23raveloi don't understand why it worked for some to simply reflash the device
17:06.12raveloi tried to reflash the modem rx51 driver. did not work for me
17:08.05enyctheres no doubt more than one way it can go wrong

19:17.15Joerg-Neo900http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1112344#post1112344  >> In my case I could reliably trigger the issue by pinching phone with thumb and finger at the "h" on the keyboard<< BGA chip solder joint issue

20:25.57Joerg-Neo900note that N900 by mechanical design is NOT very sturdy against pressure applied to keyboard. Such force will bend the PCB and thus possibly result in modem chipset BGA solder points breaking and snapping open
20:28.10Joerg-Neo900some devices are more prone to such defect than others (just like some are more susceptible to USB jack coming loose), due to a certain number of devices obviously suffered 'issues' during reflow soldering that resulted in poor or partial and weak solder points
20:29.50Joerg-Neo900Neo900 takes care about all this, by taking into account the lessons learned from N900 and designing the PCB and mechanical design in a way that avoids such weaknesses
20:31.19Joerg-Neo900e.g we support the PCB with some mechanical posts so it hardly can bend at all even with high pressure to keybpard. We also place chips in a way that makes such issues less likely
