can someone do these little tests for me

take out your battery and connect the s620 via usb and turn the phone on. does it turn on?

with the battery still disconnected, and plugged into usb, press the camera button to the right of space button. does this turn on? does it turn the phone on or is it the bootloader screen?

thanks :)

i dont have a battery for my phone (waiting for it in the post) im trying to work out if the thing works because the screen is smashed.

Does nothing as all it does when charging is pump juice to the battery ;)

thats weird then

mine turns on when i press the camera button. i even flashed a rom. but it turns off after the rom flash and wont boot.

can you just try it real quick. and verify its the bootloader?

That's cool :)

Funny never tryed to get into bootloader before without battery wonder if it re-routes the electric or if uses the back up?

[ducamie]

yeah its weird, you'd think it'd power bootloader i'd draw enough current to power the phone too.

weird.

oh well. cheers anyway :)

I know from testing with Android that the Excalibur can run happily without a battery. I.e. you can rip the battery out and it keeps working fine! It's all software that stops this from working with Windows mobile :(
