anyone want a phone?

[cr8rmakr@hotmail.com]

I've really appreciated all the help I've gotten from this site. Unfortunately, I dropped my ATT Tilt into my kitchen sink full of water. That was a couple of weeks ago. Now it doesn't work. It won't turn on, and when I plug it in, it only shows a red light instead of an amber light. I know alot of you are messing around constantly with these phones. I don't know if this phone is worth anything, but if somebody wants a project, you're welcome to it. I have no idea if the phone is even worth the trouble. I also have a USB cradle as well as a wall charger that I'll throw in. Feel free to email me direct if you are interested.

pull the back cover & battery. Lower left side, just to the right of the lower left copper colored contact is a small white square. If it is still white, try this to get
rid of the red LED when you turn it on. take the battery out and rapidly push it against the 4 battery contacts multiple times. Then, put the battery back
in, connect the charger and see if the red LED goes away and the amber charge light comes back on. If it does, try powering it back on and see if it comes back to life.
Might be worth a try.

Lol, you've definitly got a good mood. I think lots of people are intrested in the device. So you should donate him to the driver project people i guess....

But first i would try the things mentioned above here, also try to power on without battery as well, remove the battery for some time etc. etc....

Maybe you can get it back to work...!

At least i think donating is a good idea, I'm having one already so maybe you make another person happy!

cheers!:)

take the thing appart and blowdry it. When I say take it appart I mean way appart. there should be just 4 skrews. you can get the screwdriver at radioshack. One of the screws is covered by a void sticker.

when you take it appart inspect the board to see if there are any burn marks or "bisters" . if that is the case, it might be worth parts or something. I think that the camera is more than 1.3mpx and it might be interchangable with the older models of HTC phones (provided someone loads the drivers)

Belive it or not it's not as easy to kill a phone just by dropping it into water.
By the way, WD40 is a water reppelant originaly designed by or for the military to help deal with the wet electronics issues. it does not cunduct electricity. so if you need to "clean" the greesy shit that was in your sink, you can use that.

The other thing you can do is replace the red sticker with a white one and send it in for repair. I would try blowdrying it first.
I had a phone I dropped into a glass of beer once. within 3 days it worked (after it dried fully) don't try to turn your phone on while it is wet. useless and you can burn something out.

I might be tossing my Tilt to eBay soon. I figure its easier to just get a real TomTom for my GPS and use my iphone which I just updated the firmware last night to the latest 1.1.3 AND jailbroke it. It's just a nice device to use, and I've been using both, so I can say that based on hands-on, NOT opinion.

how much you want for it? I want it if it is reasonable.

[cr8rmakr@hotmail.com]

shipping plus ten bucks for the trouble.....you get the DOA Tilt, wall charger, and USB cradle.

Hey, if you still have it check your PM.

[cr8rmakr@hotmail.com]

Jeez.....i had no idea there would be such an interest. i probably should have just put it up for auction. Anyway, the phone is sold. No more emails please....lol.....if anyone wants to make alot of freinds just advertise that you want to get rid of a broken phone. Too funny.

Thank you to the guy who bought it....and good luck with it.

glad to see you got something out if it ;)

...within 3 days it worked (after it dried fully) don't try to turn your phone on while it is wet. useless and you can burn something out.

just FYI, you can't burn anything if it is wet. water is not conductive for DC. only AC. otherwise your car would be toast everytime it rains ;)
