Please Help Me Someone - Broke My Antenna

[mark wild]

I really hope, this is not one of your usual questions to you and if it is, i really don't care, cuz i am really in big trouble and i need you'll to get me out of this mess i myself created...
When i changed my housing and a new LCD for my Kaiser, i did all acording to the manual i got here... i really did'nt want to bother anyone and did all by my self...
So, i started to change the housing... and... behind the battery cover, over the battery it self, there is the antenna... WHAT I DID NOT KNOW, that the sticker it self, that covered the plastic was the antenna, God damn, so i removed it, with no idea of what i just done... and... the antenna sticker landed in the garbage...!
How you all figured it out by now, i don't have any coverage... but i LOVE this phone... AND... belive it or not, but ebay.co.uk and other ebay sites do not supply these parts... :( can anyone help me out? I don't know what to do...
I hoped that maybe some of you got a broken one and you dont need that part... i cud buy it from ya...
Please reply as soon as possible... i'm really in a deep mess...

So it cud be that the sticker has nothing to do with the antenna ... So where cud be the problem...?! Any ideas?

What i can gather from the service manual, you must get those 4 golden contacts 2g4... and i am 100% shure i did that... is there something more i can do?! Maybe i missed out on something...

O, please give me a clue - oh, holy guru's of Kaiser...

I've ordered one of those OEM antenna covers... ... hopefully i get it to, but in any case ... i pay'd with paypal... so ... lets hope that it really was somenting IN the sticker, that i broke...
Yeah...


But still... want to get some ideas, what else cud there be wrong...! Thanks again!

That does not make sence, your battery does not normally have a sticker on or over it. I wonder if the sticker was one of those antenna extenders that is supposed to help cell phone reception. Here is a pic, and this is not normally part of the phone:

If you do not have reception, chances are you left something unplugged (I think the top circuit board over the screen. The one with the ear speaker in it), or it came unplugged when you reassembeled everything. I recommend slowley taking everything apart, then following step by step in reverse, put everything back together and make sure all connectors snap in. See of that works and good luck.

First of all, i guess you'll got me a little mistaken... I ment wen you hold the phone vertecaly, than not on the battery it self, no, over it... there is the GSM antenna which is JUST A STICKER... and yes... the antenna IS the sticker!

So, bottom line, i bought my self a new antenna (very BIG thanks to jasonchan ) and thank to my dumbness, now we all know thet the sticker that is on the antenna plastic is the GSM antenna and i really suggest to all of you, DONT REMOVE IT ...

BIG thanks for the support, you guys. Don't know what i would done without you! :rolleyes::D:p:rolleyes::D:D:D:D

Hey Mark Wild,
I too need to replace the housing on my phone. I want it to look brand new. Which one and where did you get your replacement housing? THanks.
