hi

your phone shows two problems, a hardware and a software. i had my p990 with the white screen problem. i just ran seus and re-upgraded it. solved.

but the "shake it" and it fixed issue? maybe the battery is not tight enough.

Take the batt out and SIM out, clean contacts, re-assemble, fully charge, start up, update. and hopefully this will solve it.

nothing...it can't recognize the phone in SEUS, it still have the same problem, but i'm 100% sure that it's a bad contact problem , do you know where probably can be the contact problem?

Sounds like the lcd ribbon connector inside the phone could be coming loose. Simple fix if you know how to dismantle a P990 and have the right tools.

The moving battery issue also sounds like a possible culprit!

Good luck

Hi! Didnt think i'd find an active thread on the old P990!!

The ram deficiency of the P990 has not been that noticeable to me till i started using a bluetooth headset in conjunction with my newly acquired mbw 150 watch a few months back. Since then i'm plagued with reboots and frozen screens. Would leaving some mem free on the phone mem help? I currently leave abt 8mb free. I still have that bulky golf game as well as some mp3 ringtones i could del but i dont want all my apps on my card.

I have also a serious problem with my P990
The other day when I tried to update it was interrupted and when I tried again SEUS wont recognize the phone. Now the phone wont start.

I ran XS++ and it stopped also with "This is an unknown loader type" after finding "Applet ID: ç|‘|ÿÿÿÿ‘|{‘|»‘|".

Can I salvage the phone?

@xuniter

Just disconnect the screen and re connect it!

That should fix the problem (assuming that it actually IS a loose LCD)
