Wideawake - yea i should have, but didnt really notice to much damage on the outside except where the camera is the lens looked kind of smokey. as for the rom, i tried to update it, but when i was in the process, the ppc screen went dark and i guess it shut off. i really dont think its fixable. tried to hard reset and it wont reset. it reads on the screen(no backlight) serial v.1.00

Wingzero - thanks! that was my old phone that i wanted to get rid of, thats why i put it in the microwave. got the new phone today but messed up the rom

sonin did u try to reinstall the rom?

A failed ROM update is recoverable. Try this:


1. disable active sync and unplug the USB from the device
2. Press and hold in this order Power->Voice Memo->reset->release all
3. device should say serial
4. plug in USB, should now say USB
5. Make sure device shows up in device mgr
6. activate .exe (New ROM update)

i didnt know how to reinstall it. Malatesta got it working again. i dont know how you guys could figure out how to reinstall the rom, but the rep didnt know(advance tech). thanks

hehe figured it could be fixed by reinstalling the ROM. round of applause for u not having to wait on a new phone and Malatesta for the instructions! :) (thats why he's a mod, :D)
