Re: Let the Flaming Begin!! But It is bad.
I would like to make note of my experience with trying to brick an old mogul i had laying around. I figured i would try just throwing the phone in the microwave to see if what people are saying is true about being able to brick it. There are a few red flags that come to light after doing this...
First - The smell... mmmmm, the smell of burning components. Very unmistakable and very easy to pick up on.
Second - The camera flash pops. Another sign that the phone was just thrown in a microwave to be replaced.
Third - Ripples on the screen. Putting the phone in the microwave for a longer time than 3 seconds will make ripples on the screen from it tightening.
Fourth - IT DIDN'T BRICK THE PHONE!!!! The phone is still working somehow but it destroyed the flash. I put the thing in there for 10 seconds but it still didn't kill the eeprom. I am not sure if i just have a hardcore phone or what the deal is but this thing doesn't break!!!! It only left me with a phone that smells bad and can't use a camera flash.
Just wanted to put in my tests for other people to see, this definitely is NOT the way to go.
