I have 2 questions for anyone who has knowledge on phone circuit boards....
-Please look at the Photos I have posted of the Vogue main circuit boards below. There is a thick gold line printed around the entire border on both front and back on the main circuit board. From close inspection it does not appear to be connected to any circuits or parts. Most cell phone circuit boards have this gold border printed on them in the same way. I would like to know what it is for. If I cut throught it will it make anything on the phone non-functional? I have circled in red (#1) the area where I am specifically concerned about.
-Also, on the back of the vogue circuit board I have circled in red (#2) two small dots that have been printed on the board. What are these for?
Thanks!
