ok...what happens is...when I turn the phone on...it says i860...then 10 seconds later it goes to the blue screen like it's going to start up...then it shuts off...

the only way I can turn the phone back on is to take out the battery...and put it back in...

I can't connect to the phone at all...and I really want to get this thing running again...

I have a feeling that there is a problem with the code plug...but I can't connect to the phone to get the code plug...

help me please!!!

going back and forth between nextpimp huh?
Like we said on the other forum, take it to a service center and have it looked at. If you modded your cp and messed it up your out of luck and have to buy a new phone. Basically you have to tell us what you did to it so we can help you fix the problem.

What happened was...I had an i860 that I got from work...it was a phone that some guy dropped into a bucket of water...

the old mobo worked for a little while...but would get really hot and kill batteries...so I got another mobo from someone else...

I put the phone together with the LCD from the old phone (that works fine) and this mobo does what I said it does...turns on, i860...wait 10 secs...blue...then off...

I didn't touch the codeplug or anything...

I thought just swapping the mobo would work...because I really want an i860 phone to work for me...but I've been hitting walls this entire time...

I wish someone could help me get this phone working...because my everyday phone is dying...

Thanks,

wtf is a mobo? a board?

yeah...the main board of the phone

where did you get this board from? used from someone or new? It almost sounds like you bought a bad board.

Sounds like my problem. Phone fell in the water, I put a new battery in the phone and when the phone stars its a low battery and phone gets extremely hot. How do I fix?

Sounds like it needs to be flashed, you can flash it with Xflash program, kinda complicated to use but it will work. The one I have is version 3.2 I dont know if theres a recent version.

2 thinks I would do.

First, remove board from flip, front housing,back housing. Spray the board with control/contact cleaner & lubricant (actual name and can be purchased at radioshack) let the board sit in the sun for 2 days, then install it again and retry.

If problem remains, remove board once again and get it completly wet with alcohol and clean every connection with a qtip or small brush (alcohol will never ever ever hurt or damage your board) I use I.P.A Alcohol, but I heared that rubbing alcohol works as well.

Hope it helps, it helps me all the time.
