Viewing pim backup files? Anyone have a broken apache for sale?
 
The usb connector broke off the main board when I got fudgin rear ended by a dominoes pizza driver. I tried soldering it back on but I inevitably failed and did what any frustrated man working on electronics would do, Snapped the damned thing in half and threw it down the hallway. I need a new main board and serial number for sprint on the cheap with a large side of ASAP. Also is there any way to read contacts off of the pim backup file I have? I tried opening in with notepapd but its a bunch of gibberish.

Moderators: I know this probably isnt the place to ask for stuff to buy but I feel like it is more likely I will find someone who has what I need in this forum. If you feel that i am a nimrod go forth and move this thread.

There is no way to read the PIM file without loading it on a working phone.

Here is a sprint 6700 with a broken screen but everthing else is fine. Its on ebay, $4.99 + $5.99 to ship. 11 1/2 hours with ZERO bids and 100% feedback. You cant get any better than that.

If you transfer your PIM file to a pc and open it up in Notepad you will be able to view your contacts and phone numbers. It's going to look a little crazy but with some patience you will be able to make sense of it.

I tried it for fun...and you are correct...it took alittle time but it was not to bad, you can see the names and numbers...etc...of the contacts.

WOW! Only one person bid and got the whole thing for about 10bux. I didnt know about the notepad thing though. Its nice to learning new tricks and something new.

Thats a good deal. Was the ESN clean or black listed? Did the seller say?
