If you can't source a battery: old Nokia phones needed the data/BSi to boot, or go into recovery mode. I'd try setting the PSU to e.g. 3.8V, and then use a resistor from GND to middle pin. I'd start at 150k ohm, and if it doesn't boot, try decrements of 5k ohm until I reach 74/75k Ohm. Obviously try a battery if you can first :)
3310's almost never break...those memes aren't wrong, if anything they are an understatement....3310's are very picky about batteries, get a working battery, plug it in and keep it on the charger overnight...it should turn on. Also try evenly heating the board and then soaking it in isopropyl. Lightly scrub with a toothbrush, there maybe tiny metal particles causing a short
To power the phone up wile you wait.. rip the cell out the battery and force 3.4v into the pins as long as the data wire is connected with ground.. you will get life in the phone.. its 1 for diagnosis and 2 to avoid aftermarket batterys and to make more money going back to them for a replacement one
Did you manage to fix it? How did you do it? I have one that I connect to charge, it went crazy turning on and off multiple times per second and it stopped working....
Psh. Fake News. Everyone knows in a 1000 years some archaeology student will dig one of these out of the ground and it will turn on with 3 bars of battery 😂
Great as always joey , it must be hard yo find something to fix that will make good content what about a c64 or a ax spectrum. I always enjoy your videos whatever you try to fix so keep up the good work.
Nice video :) I'm an electronics engineer and actually managed to kill an original 3310 ... Mind you it took being homeless and sleeping rough last winter :)
@@JoeyDoesTech Yep, as in packed a rucksack and walked away from my life. Ended up sleeping rough on the streets of Brighton. Now getting back to normality in the north :)
Daisy chain the middle pin to ground a lot of these old phones need it to work. I think the centre pin has something to do with bms it's a battery temperature sensor and needs to be ground
This is beautiful to disassemble. I've been thinking of getting one myself to try and fix up for the nostalgia. So many memories! Obviously the games, the (mostly rude) texts you'd flick up and down to animate, extortionately priced wallpapers, the ringtone composer, changeable covers...
