Front LED Always Power ON

[Parantido]

Hi,

i've been upgraded my Magician Firmware first with this ROM:

JAM_WWE_11200_128_11210_ship.exe

and in second time with this:

JAM_ITA_11204_154_11210_ship.exe

In both cases i've the following problem:

Seems that device is always in charge mode (with cardle detached also). The Front LED is always powered on (orange or green depend on battery status) and it shutdown LCD after the time specified in Backlight Settings/External Power.

I'm very confused, i've been crawled very hard on google but i haven't found a solution about this. :confused: :confused:

Please Help.

p.s.: sorry for my bad english!!! :p

Has this been happening before the ROM update? Because it smells like a hardware issue, though it could be trouble with the registry settings in those ROMs (though I never heard of any reports of those ROMs doing anything weird).

Same problem when I dropped my o2 mini (with tmobile rom) , earphone of device became on /off since then and initially front led was always on . whenever earphone gets no sound again I just press a little not too hard (with the toothprick or similiar thin thing or very thing screw driver ) the SD card socket from inside towards outside (where we hear the calls from ) and while doing that I see the changing colours of front led like red , orange blue green . earphone sound gets back for 2-3 days and sometime light stays at green( if I don't check ) while charging . so I have to tab it again from inside to get it right again .Light contacts are near sd card socket as call speaker contacts .it gets mixed up after some drops or shocks . I'm no expert but that's what I'm experiencing and getting along these days .

You might have bent the contacts of the earpiece when you dropped the phone, hence the intermittent problems with the earpiece AND the LED (the LED is contained within the speaker module). Having opened my Magician before, I can tell you that this is more than possible, as the contacts that link the earpiece to the main board in the Magician are VERY thin and fragile, hence any bad shocks to the case may bend, or even snap the contacts.

In this case you will probably have to open the Magician to bend these contacts back into place - this will probably fix both your earpiece problems and your LED problems. Look here for more information, and a VERY good and detailed guide on doing this procedure:

hi all,

my problem was:
led not worknig at all and no speaker working even changing it.

cause:
daugther board (that is on card reader) was a bit desoldered from mother board, look at the black connector on left (looking from the back). daughter board is glued on card reader.no human solder possible.

solution:
disassemble magician and put a piece of card (less than 1/2 mm) on the plastic cover, near the left of the speacker ;) corresponding to the black daugther board connector.

it works great!

regards.
