Thanks Sammy - Appreciate it! Also since a New user at ESATO, I am not able to post more than 3 posts in a day. Can that be increased?

Thanks

Not sure how it works, though i imagine it'll increase either after a certain number of posts or certain time of membership.

So... I got my K800 muddy, and while cleaning it up I scratched off most of one of the port contacts at the bottom. It doesn't seem to charge through the USB cable anymore, so I assume this contact is responsible for power. If you hold the phone normally, then tilt the top away from you, its the strip in the far right which I've damaged.

Can anyone think of anything I an do to get the phone to charge from USB again, without replacing the port?
...is replacing the port easy? Where can I get one!?


On a sidenote, the battery status bar still does the charging animation when I plug the cable in. So I guess "charging" involves more than 2 contacts.

hi all newbie here thought id help a bit. I got mine wet in the "great flood of yorkshire"

it was fine after i let it dry out, except the cammera didn't work and after two days i noticed the two last contacts at the bottom where missing so i changed the unit with one out of k750i and all was fine just be carefull when prising apart the last peice of plastic casing to get to the contacts. theirs 3 clips on either side start from top and work your way down to the contacts then slide the plastic down slighlt. but after that they slide off.
a week ater the phone would come on until i selected the phone mode/ flight mode after this it would just flicker now it wont come on at all. so i opened it up again and their was green powder on the left hand bottom side near the IR I think their is a row of 5 little chip things and two are missing does any one have a pick of the board so i can check. or does any one have an idea what might be up with it
Cheers
