Getting back in the Omnia game: Anyone wanna buy my (not fully working) 16GB White Omnia?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

The story of my Omnia...

- White 16GB Singapore model

- Unlocked and mint

- Bad ROM flash, sent away to be repaired (board only sent away)

- Board returns, unfortunately I suspect my limited reassembly skills went wrong somewhere, after putting back together, it boots (I can hear the sounds) and the screen gets backlit, but there's no display on the screen!

- Fully boxed etc. etc.

I want to buy another Omnia to get back into 'the scene', so i'm entertaining offers for this faulty unit to help fund the new one! :)

Cheers!

Expected price? Dunno really!

If I could get 150 quid I would be happy, pondering whether to eBay it atm...

Do you know if something broke or made an unusual sound while reassembling?

It is a little bit risky because the device could have a physical defect....

150 "quid" (had to google what this is :D ) is approx: 170€... thats a little bit more than my budget allows :)

I'll pay 100€ + shipping, if you gonna sell this on ebay please give me the article-number.

thanks,

I don't think anything broke, although the wide ribbon cable that is held in by the black clip, the black clip fell out and I can't get it back on again. That could well be the problem!

I'll chuck in shipping anyware for 150 'quid'... hehe...

Should learn that disassembling (well, actually, reassembling) things is not my forte! :)

[Guest das_spektakel]

Can you do me favor and point to the black clip where you think things went wrong?

Hi Paul,

I'd not dare to buy the old one (as I don't have _any_ skills on electronics) but I can sell you mine :)))

(I'm tired of playing with WM right now, maybe after a while I can try again.)

SOLD!
