I think the title says it all. I've got an Epic that produces a high pitched whining noise (reminiscent of an old CRT monitor) when plugged into USB without a battery in. When I try and turn on the phone, there's a very faint, intermittent clicking sound coming from the top area of the phone's back. If I put the battery in with USB in, the clicking sound resumes.
Since the phone won't turn on, I'm guessing something's wrong with the power circuitry? Is this anything that could be taken care of by me, or is the phone a lost cause?
I think your diagnosis is correct. Sounds like it is oscillating. To diagose further you would probably need an oscilloscope and a schematic. I believe Sprint takes care of non-insured repairs for $35.
could sell it to someone with a stray dog problem too!:}

There are people who work on solid bricks they take apart the phone and hook it up straight to the pc and will bring it to download mode and restore it.

Well.... according to my infinite knowledge of electronics, he has a blown fuse on that thing. Loud whine is more like a fuse that popped. Kinda like when you have the iron plugged in while your room heater is at Max and you put in a hotpocket in the microwave. In about 30 seconds all the lights. Go off. Gotta go pop the breaker. But once you are at the breaker box, there's a hmmmm whine to it. That's exactly what's going on his epic. Unfortunately, there's no breaker build in the epic, even with all its glory, galaxy s devices are prone to fuse popping.

there is so many little things this phone can do that completely amaze me lol still finding out more to, coming from a samsung moment
Ok I know some of you are probably wondering what type of question is this lol.. Last night I had a few drinks and dropped my phone, now I have a cracked screen at the bottom right of the phone. Called my friend (works at sprint) he said he can't swap it out just because of the screen but told me if I brick it he can swap it out, all I have to do is blame the new ota update when I come in so his manager gives the approval. So what's the fastest way to get a BLOD? Would removing the wire while running a sfhub OC do it?? I just can't live with a cracked screen ima go crazy!!!

Someone is jealous they don't have a hook up at Sprint I see.. You'll get over it! And it's *your mistake* Not you're! You're = You are :thumbdown:
"Hook up" at sprint is not equal to the "right" thing to do... I don't think he was jealous as much as he was pointing out what you are attempting to do could be considered/is fraud... I'm not passing judgment on you but perhaps if you're accident prone you may want to consider adding insurance to the line, which is the route many of us around here take... additionally no one is forcing you to live with a broken screen, replacements can be found on eBay for reasonable prices and to change it it's just 9 Phillips head screws and 3 cables to unplug/ replug... not super hard to do... lastly I hope I didn't accidentally mispell anything in this reply as I wouldn't want to feel the wrath of the grammer nazi fraudster...

Yes, I'm jealous because you lack the intelligence to figure out something so trivial, I'm also jealous because "YOUS" to broke to pay to have a screen fixed.

"YOUR" absolutely right. Myself and others don't mind the cost of insurance going up because of false claims.
That's the problem with this world instead of holding people accountable for their actions, their stupidity is excused with acts such as these (eg. Ins cost goes up). Same concept as welfare. How many of us are ecstatic that our stolen tax dollars go to funding that?

Probably not, just sounds bricked...what happened before this?
Plugging it into the charger if it doesn't turn on likely wouldn't do any good, as the phone technically needs to be "on" to charge the battery correctly. Even when off, the phone is still in a pseudo-on mode when plugged in.

If you have the blue light of death and can't get into Download Mode or Recovery, then you can just go to a Sprint store and pay $35 to get a replacement, even if you don't have TEP. This is what I did when I was hit with the emmc superbrick bug back in February. They will probably give you a refurb though. Sometimes the techs can be uptight though so it may help to act dumb and claim you were accepting the FF18 OTA update when something happened to your phone.

If it's at the end of the month i'll maybe reject it because of my AE rate but beginning of the month i'll help happily And you educate urself more after these silly mistakes. Sprint makes way more than enough money from new acts, so considering the cost for insurance, shouldnt be a problem. Deductibles and insurance cost is going up anyways for these new phones with a higher retail price of $550 and thats BS.

Once I move, I plan on mass producing them for a few members, including the JV testers. That will be some time next month. I may start selling them on ebay. I like mine more than the normal ones that you see... Mine are more reliable. The ones that most sell only last for a little while because they use a tiny surface mount resistor that gives out quickly. Granted they look neat and professional, but aren't worth it in my opinion.

Sign me up. They look awesome, and I'm sure you are right that mine will crap out on me sooner rather than later. But it was for piece of mind more than anything since I am tinkering with this phone daily, wanted to have something to keep me from bricking it! Plus I get lazy sometimes and it is easier than holding down power+ volume down :beer::beer:

Won't keep you from bricking. Ypu Bork your bootloader, you are screwed and will need a JTAG. But that doesn't happen very often.

Good to know, let's hope that doesn't happen! That would suck. I always read, reread, and flash from a stable kernel so hopefully that won't ever happen. But good info to know. Thanks :beer:

Usually borking your bootloader is a result of flashing an i9100 ROM or kernel, or a bad USB connection during an Odin flash.
Be careful about what you flash and use Odin with care and you'll be fine.

Also good to know. I was sure to not get them mixed up first time I flashed, esp since I'm on Boost and its sold as the "Galaxy SII" can be a bit misleading. That's why you read read and read on here! Thanks for the lesson Adreaver! :beer:

It already is. Just cuz I'm white I can't hate a person of minority for their actions without being called a racist. It has nothing to do with skin color when someone is a total douche wouldn't matter if they were freaking transparent to me, but god forbid their skin is darker than mine and suddenly I'm a fu*king racist. Its ridiculous.
