No Radio present... - Page 3

Well here is my opinion and I am slightly in agreement with PDAPhoneJunkie on the part where the 67 doesnt (cant be) need to be unlocked. However, here is where we will give different views. When you get or have a 67 that says NONE in red when it boots up you have hardware failure issues and there is nothing you can do about it. I personally have seen two of them and I know PRL wasnt an issue. I tried to load radio drivers but how can you load hardware drivers when the device doesnt see the radio hardware to begin with. We all know the answer to that one. I took radio files off a working 67 and copied over to the one with no radio and didnt help. I reflashed OEM ROMs and got no where. I even went as fas as cloning a working ROM on a fully working 67 and loaded the clone on the non-radio working 67 and got no where. In the end, it was no more than a PDA. No cell, no data, no WiFi. Just a PDA and that is all your friend has. IMO if the ebay auction doesnt describe this and IF it was not working properly when he got it then he needs to ask for a refund or file a claim.

Ah, okay I didn't catch that. If it says "None" then you have toasted hardware. If it just is blank then you're fine. But if it says none you have nothing more than a fancy paper weight. Like weedahoe said, IF THE AUCTION didn't mention that then attempt to get your money from the seller. If he is in denile take a video and file a claim.

The auction stated that the phone function did not work, wich i knew when i purchased. I have a phone that im fine with, i bought this for the pda functions and thats all and im still very happy with it. No paper weight for me, im enjoying it. Oh, and the wifi does work.

You know i just noticed something that prob. has nothing to do with the radio, but just maby. One of the pins for the battery appeares to be bent up and not making contact with the battery. Again, i assume this isn't supposed to be that way lol..

I got the pin to make contact, still no radio. Kind of odd that a pin was doing nothing, yet it functioned just fine, you would think while designing a device that should be as light as possible you wouldn't have unneeded parts lol..

haha... It was a battery connector pin.. Not a huge loss of function, I guess.. Well.. Do you want me to continue trying to solve the mystery of the lost radio or call it quits?

Might as well call it quits. No use in trying to fix it when chances are i will never use it as a phone.

If you want to get your money back from that ebay auction I can let mine go. This offer is only good for WoR
