New display - no sim/memory card recopnition - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi !
The (broken) display of my P3300 was changed, all seemed to be ok.
The PDA started, the display was bright, entering of the phone pin by the touch-display did work well.
But then - no sim card was found. no memory card was found, and the buttons (front and lower sides) did not work.
Does any one know how to handle this problem?

I think that's problem with flat cable from keypad to MB. Probably is not well connected with MB. I had similar problem (card was not found).
So - you need to disassemble your phone, check flat cable and assemble it back. This should fix your problem.
Cheers!

Thanks, I tried.
The cable is connected, but now I am afraid, it may be broken...
Does anyone know wheather this part is sold by anyone (cable + plastic).

can i flash with bluetooth?

I have bought BA and im very happy with it.... but i dont have any cable for it and i wanna flash from wm03se (original system) to wm05 can i do that with bluetooth? I live in serbia and a cable for him is very expensive... anyone help please???
I have another question, when press down on buttons below those four buttons on front of the phone i need a little harder to press, same to answer button, can i clean it somehow.... THANKS
I seriously doubt it, as flashing requires rewriting the internal memory, that AFAIL can only be done when the device is in bootloader.
Is there any other way to flash phone? And please help me about buttons??
You can flash through the memory card if you can't do it via sync cable.
Can anyone show how to flash through memory card step by step? or drop some link here?? THANKs
As a start, I'd try the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
i have read all about flashing but have not found how to flash with memory card... please help... thanks
I dont want to be annoying but HELP!!!! please
If you can't find anything on SD Card flashing, it may not be possible with your device.
I was hoping this was possible as well.
The BA I just got from Ebay stopped working while connected to the cradle or sync cable. When I first plugged it in to my sync cable I noticed it was kind of wobbly, and instead of showing the amber charging light it showed the red light. Putting it in the cradle it wouldn't do anything either until I left it on for a few hours then tried to do a hard reset.
After that it still wouldn't work on the sync cable, but did work on the cradle. So I flashed it from the original ROM to one of Xplodes to see if that would help. Well it works fine and I was able to upgrade on the cradle, but it still wouldn't work on just the sync cable.
Just yesterday when I tried to plug it into the sync cable again to see if it at least would charge while on it, I noticed that when it was on and I plugged it in the screen dimmed with a bunch of lines eating away at the screen. Finding that odd I unplugged the sync cable, rebooted it (worked fine) and put it back on the cradle. The moment it came in contact with the connection it again dimmed and got the wierd garbled screen, eventually going black and showing the red light instead of the amber light.
I also just noticed that the phone doesn't work. I was so worried about setting the thing up that I didn't even check that basic functionality!
So, here I have a BA that doesn't have a working phone, and can't be synced. The wi-fi seemed to work at least.
So is there any way to change the ROM back to OEM using the SD card, bluetooth, IRDA, or wi-fi? At least then I can try and send the thing back to the Ebayer I got it from. If I send it back now they'd see I have WM 6.1 on it and probably tell me I'm SOL.

[Q] Help! Phone boots and is recognized by computer but no image

Hello there
Im hoping that someone here can help me since im ready to seel the pho for spare parts... i've tried it all.
Heres the deal:
- The phone boots well and if i connect it through usb to the computer i can even access the folders and all.
- I can take photos (i her the sound of the shutter and all and see the piics taken in the folder when connected to the computer) and screnshots
- I managed to restore the phone back to original settings and even update software with sony official soft.
- Inicialy i bought the phone as faulty to try and fix it since the buyer informed me there was no water damage ( and i can confirm this because the "stickers" only show white). He informed that the phone just stoped showing image on screen.
- I thought it was a problem with the LCd so i bought a new one and replace it. The problem persists. Everything works but the screen.
Any toughts on this one? Could the motherboard be faulty in only one place (image, proximity sensor, etc)?
Thanks for you time
Regards
Try the service manuals...

I have fully same faulty 2nd "spare parts" phone.
All works except screen, all as you described.
I checked, in my case problem definitely in screen because if connect main board to really working LCD panel = screen ok.
And vice versa: if connect normal main board to this probably faulty screen = black screen.
Maybe here broken flexible connector.
Also nothing interesting related to this case in service documents.

[Q] Retrieving data off a broken i747

Hey guys,
My mother dropped her phone in such a manner that the screen doesn't respond and she didn't bother to store things on her SD card (32GB phone). It doesn't display anything nor does it take input so I figure she got real unlucky and broke the cable and/or connector. The phone is stock, no USB debugging enabled and has a pattern unlock. I figured, I'd give MHL and USB OTG a go and tried to use one of these (attached image) with no luck. I can seemingly get either MHL or a mouse working but neither at the same time. Has anybody had success with any of these methods or has any other ideas short of replacing the screen?
Thanks

[Q] BIOS locked on Vensmile W10!!!

I have a TV box whit Intel atom z3735f quad-core, 2GB di RAM and 32GB of memory, HDMI, two USB, battery internal, bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi dualband(2.4 and 5ghz), preinstalled windows 8.1(i think 'RT') whit Bing, charge whit another micro-usb port!! Model name: Wintel Mini iPC002 (Vensmile W10) Producer: Vissontech [search it for other features] it's a good product for good price!!
Initially i have a problem whit the two USB and i think that it was disable on the bios setup. I procure an otg cable and connect the keyboard in a micro-usb port to finish a pre-configuration of Windows. Then i reboot and enter in the bios setup. Whit my big surprise, everithing is enable!..then reboot and try the two USB, but nothing: don't work!
At last, i re-enter in the bios setup and i can't select or change nothing!..I repeat the operation but i can't change nothing in the bios setup and the two USB don't work!!
Do you say me one way to reset the bios?..or one solution for the problem that i described in this post?
Exist a tool to flash a bios in WinOS for this product whit Intel processor?
Thank you for your time!
Hope in more reply
Best regardes
Soon.
Same problem
Hello novellus2014, i have exactly the same problem : the 2 USB ports doesn't work.
I have test 2 mouses and 2 keyboard. The led on the mouse don't light. Same for the led on the keyboard (caps lock...).
So perhaps there is a problem with the power on the USB ports ?
I can't finish Windows 8.1 install, i am blocked on the language selection of Windows 8.1.
To finish the install you have use an OTG USB cable on the mini USB power port ??
Thanks to send me a message if you found a solution for the USB ports. I'll do the same for you if i found a solution...
a friend!!
hi mediapole, luckily or unfortunately, we have a same problem!!
the answer at your question is: YES!!
i use an OTG cable for finish an initial install.
but or use it or charge the mini pc..a bad solution for use this product
also in my opinion the problem is the power of USB ports!!
also the led of my pen drive is off when it is attached!!
i have send a mail at vissontech and wait for response.
Soon
Same here
Just received my unit and have the same issues and the same oppinion. I think it is about not having power on those two USB ports, maybe a hw problem? I hope not.
I guess I will try to power the unit through the micro usb port, and I will use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and a big SD for storage
I am sending them an email too.

I bought it through Aliexpress. I contacted the seller and they sent me a new firmware that I was able to update into my device. Still the same, no results, both USB's are just dead, there is not even power on them.

I suggest you should try update your BIOS... Guleek i8 has the same hardware configuration...

Thank you very much. In fact it seems to be an older BIOS (Vx5_bios_20141231_2117_logo.bin) than the one the seller sent to me (Vx5_bios_201501271131_intel.bin), but still I have given it a try.
Still the same, well now I have lost the conection with bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but I guess I could pair them again if needed.
Now I am waiting the dealer to pay me a 50% of the shipping costs back to them. I have 30 days to return the item.

Thats bad... I think its because we tried to downgrade the BIOS from higher version. If you reflash the new one it should restore the bluetooth functionality. If possible could you please send (email) me the BIOS you have?[Vx5_bios_201501271131_intel.bin]
Also, see if this helps...

Sure I can send the BIOS. Is your email published? I can't see it.
I agree that upgrading it again bluetooth should come back, I need to find the uUSB to USB cable again to do it.
I will also check the link you sent, but don't you think that after reflashing the BIOS, USB ports should get enabled if they weren't?

If its a hardware issue then whatever we do it will not get enabled. What i do is i use RDP to this MiniPC if I want to change the settings. That way i dont have to physically connect keyb and mouse to it. I have installed Plex server on this minipc.
I have sent you PM with my email address.
Similar to what I planned at the begining with bluetooth mouse and keyboard. But I'd like to plug my 3Tb disk to it and still keep powered. I have also done some tests with usb hubs, but again no way.
I have tried few things on my mini pc
1) Disabled USB Legacy mode in the BIOS and restarted. flashed the Guleek BIOS BIN file, it flashed successfully and restored BIOS defaults.
2) I have again Disabled USB Legacy mode in the BIOS and restarted. flashed the Vensmile BIOS BIN file, now i cant go to BIOS anymore, it seems it doesn't restore the defaults. I then re-flashed the Guleek BIOS and it started again.
Hi!
i bought 2 days ago a vensmile ipc002.
Im trying to boot with linux usb key, but i have big problems in disabling secure boot...r u able to do it? can you help me?
Everytime it boots windows, even if i made my usb key with rufus, gpt partition, fat32 and every thing i read on the web.
The only way i won is to press restart+shift, then boot/rescue from there by uefi usb....in that way, my pc boot with linux (mate in this case, 64bit version).
Please help me to understand something in bios setup...it seems all disabled, but it everytimes boot windows instead of uefi usb key!!
i tried every solution without success.
I can boot anything ... only win8.1 .
I need to boot linux....is it possible?
Is it possible to flash a different bios without secure boot locked (i disabled from uefi setup but without success...)
Thanks a lot
I have also tried booting with other OS but didn't worked. I will need to investigate more, i will do it this weekend and let you know.

Working Solution for the USB Ports!!!
Hello,
i bought this device last week. and the USB Ports was not working.
so i searched through the Forums, but no solution.
the Solution i found out is, that you have to remove the black Stickers on the front and on the back.
under the Stickers there are 3 Screws on each side. on the front is the WLAN Antenna!
just remove the front plate... pay Attention of the Cable from the WLAN!
then press the electric out to the back side!... disconnect the WLAN Antenna from the Mainboard.
i removed the 2 screws from the USB Port and ... the cable was not connected to this circuit board!!
i removed the Battery (the cable is sticked to the battery) ... pulled the cable to the direction of the USB Ports. and connected it to the circuit board...
then the USB Ports are working!!
just Reassembly the Device after this procedure and all is working
Thomas
Thank for the instructions, if you could post some more pics of the screws (locations) and inside the product it will be great.
I did not wrote this, I found it on Amazon review of the pc.

USB Problem and Solution for the Vensmile. If you are like me you plugged in your Vensmile and were unable to do anything with the plugged in usb keyboard and mouse. There was no power on mine, I checked with a voltmeter and it was dead. I knew it was powered up since it was coming up with the install for win 8. If you are having the same issue as me you will not have a light between the two usb ports in the back. I carefully peeled the plastic protector off slowly (black side with all the ports). This is a piece of plastic held on with sticky tape. This will expose the three screws. Remove the three screws and the main board will slide out. Mine required a tap on each side to start sliding out. You can see the usb board now and just flip the right battery back off the board. I have attached a pic. You can see it either fell out during transmit or was never attached in the first place. Pull up on the black ribbon connection, slide in the ribbon cable and lock the black ribbon connection back down. You will see the usb come back on right away. Slide it back in the case, attach the three screws and put the plastic stick on cover back on.
(I have image of the insides, but the forum don't let me post it)
Edit:
I did it! OMG I did it! It works again! Thomas_Eder and Brittany Thomason thank you so much guys! You are awesome!
1. Use knife to take out the back black bezel. I started from the side and pulled with fingers. Its tough dont worry. It got no scratches.
2. Remove the 3 screws.
3. Tap Tap Tap and the motherboard slide out.
4. On the bottom where the battery is you will have to detatch 2 screws to remove the usb board.
5. See the white ribbon next to battery. Thats it.
6. There is a small cap on the ribbon connector, be careful, open it with nail from the back of his entry.
7. Push the ribbon and close that little lid to hold it in place.
(The usb board will start blink)
8. Dont forget the 2 little screws.
9. Put all inside (watch out for the antenna and ribbon cables).
10. Test. Close. Enjoy.
I made some pics but cannot post them.

I made video with the pictures on youtube - watch?v=OI55cAELoSo

Xperia z1 compact Touchscreen falsely registers input

Hi,
Had my phone a couple of years, no problems, but recently cracked the screen.
Bought three replacement screens and fitted them in phone:
* 1st one touchscreen digitiser worked perfectly all the time but LCD was broken (had lines/artifacts on it) - sent it back.
* 2nd one, same supplier as first, LCD worked, but digitiser works intermittently - it always works immediately after phone reboot, but after the screen locks for the first time, it then has a problem where it registers an input when I'm not giving any, so the screen goes haywire and I can't even enter my pin or restart phone (Have to use red button in sim card bay). Occasionally and randomly when I try it, it sometimes works so I can enter my pin, and then use the phone until the next time the screen locks....but basically phone is rendered unusable, because this is totally random. Sent this one back too.
* 3rd one bought from a different supplier - AFAIK this one is a genuine Sony part (it at least has the Sony logo on it), but have the same digitiser problem as the second. Time has passed to send this back.
Due to the above description I am sure it is not a problem with the phone (1st one digitser worked perfectly & original cracked screen digitser worked for half the screen where it wasn't cracked). I'm also sure it's a software issue, since it works everytime following a phone reset but before the screen is locked. Behaviour seems to be the same at different temperatures. Also inspected the flex connector and ribbon components under microscope at work, and saw no problems.
One think I noticed is that all 3 screens I bought have no insualting backing on the back of the LCD, so the metal back touches the metal shield below - I did not see any screens to buy with the insulating backing - I wondered if this could be affecting the EMC behaviour of the screen (some capacitivie coupling with the digitiser or some type of grounding issue) - but then why would the digitiser of 1st screen work ok, and work for >1hour following a reset but then not after a screen lock?
Tried turning glove mode on/off - no difference in behaviour. Tried using screen while it is not fitted in phone housing (not touching metal shield), same behaviour.
I saw a couple of threads from a while back, but don't know if they are up to date, or if a solution to this problem is now known:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691849
This one gives a solution, but then says at the top of the thread DON'T TRY THIS FIX, IT IS A HARDWARE ISSUE NOT SOFTWARE.....so I'm worried to try it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662457
This one is to adjust the touchscreen sensitivity, but even though I have root access, I get an error message relating to the mount commandwhen trying to copy the edited idc file back to the system\usr\idc directory, "operation not permitted'.
Does anyone know a reliable fix that works? Or how I can get write access to idc folder to try editing the clearpad file? I don't have an SD card for my phone, but not sure it is essential for these methods?
Thanks

Assuming you're on LP 5.1... System rw access is disabled by default, even with root. Flashing dual recovery by NUT is easiest way to get it. Then you should be able to move files in boot or in recovery.
