Hey, my name is Nick and I just wanted to introduce myself. I have an HTC-cingular 8125 qwerty slide out/touch screen, Im sure most of you know that though. I am a network/pc technician but currently unemployed and trying to find work. I know my phone is old but I just got it working again recently due to a battery being dead, I didnt figure it out till 6 months later till I connected my power supply to the phone with no battery in it and use my volt meter and saw it had juice then tried charging the old battery and the old battery had no juice at all. So I bought a new battery for 10 bucks and its alive again, but now the SD card reader no longer will reconize my SD card I just bought, and I know the card its self is good because I used the adapter for it to insert it in to my mmc/sd slot on my pc and my pnp on vista picked it right up and installed the drivers, I was able to put files on it and delete them. I then ran a format on it using FAT not FAT32 to see if maybe that was the issue but still was unable to read it on the HTC phone and I tried it in my unlces blackjack and it worked fine there as well. So I now know its the card reader on my 8125, but Im not sure on how to go about fixing the actual hardware issue..I do have my net+, A+ essentials and A+ IT Tech certification so I know my way around pc boards and general electronics very well. First thoug I need some advice from some one with more pocket pc repair than I because I dont have any experience with an open phone and repairing it. So if some one could give me an idea how to go about repairing this hardware issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Hopefully no sodering will need to be done. But thanks in advance for any help and I look forward to getting to know you all and share my passion for pocket pc phones and for me all computers or electronics in general lol, Im a dork for sure.
Also I have WM5 with 2.25.11.1WWE rom, Radio is 02.25.11, Protocol is 4.1.13.12 and ExtRom is 2.25.11.102, Id like to find ways to mod it, but I will research that and need this card reader issue solved first otherwise there isnt enough memory in the phone its self to mod anything or have mp3's.  |
