Guest neo168 Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 This is an excerpt from the thread 256MB SDCard(RiData) cant... hmm... I thought the purpose of the backup battery is just to give enough power to the internal memory so as not to lose the settings/data. I don't think the backup battery can support the power consumption of the SAP when it's turned on. It's function is just the same as the rechargeable battery inside old PC motherboards to keep CMOS info intact when the PC is off. Just got curious. Would this backup battery, if removed, reset the settings of SAP(as in PCs) so as it accepts the bootloader from SDCard again therefore reviving it from being dead?

Guest grifter Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 @neo, I doubt. The problem with a dead unit is a corrupted bootloader. As in the PC's CMOS, the backup battery only preserves the settings, time, etc. But if you have a corrupt CMOS chip (in the case of PC motherboards), removing the backup battery won't do anything.

Guest rodnav Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Count me in with the Dead SAPs club. but i know exactly what i did wrong my phone. i went to Smart wireless center in Galleria and got me a new SAP as replacement unit while my old SAP is being repaired... baka di ko na balikan yung old unit ko, bagong bago tong binigay sa akin, at smart 1.50 pa ROM.... the possibilities are intriguing.

Guest mlkanapi Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 @ rodnav, Ang suerte mo naman... You did not have any downtime of about 2 weeks plus the replacement unit was a SAP. Bago pa! Hindi pa yung latest ROM or bootloader. Pray that they decide to let you keep that phone otherwise they'll ( BP ) replace the board of your old phone and add some fingerprint trademarks before giving it back to you! :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rodnav Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 @* thanks for the concern guys. @doc kanapi the CSR at galleria was very kind, she owned a SAP too. and i'm already a part of the fingerprint club as there were fingerprints in my old phone when i had the call keys replaced @chibako nag pa cute lang akong sa CSR, hehe... ooops baka, nagSPAMsa sya dito sa modaco. but seriously they probably checked that i used a lot of data traffic in my account, and they probably had some spare units as these wireless center would be the one servicing their big contract with Meralco. still thinking of the part of not returning the unit. hehe @grifter, my tanager died because of an iatrogenic cause... actually it's on another thread po, mister moderator. i just got rid of Smart's 1.6 ROM from it, and as a byproduct, i a also killed the phone.
