Contact Service On 3310

Hi all

I have got a 3310 with CONTACT SERVICE on screen
I have tested it in eeprom tools and it said COBBA PARALLEL TEST FAILED

Can this be repaired ???

CHEERS

Yes and no

If MAD2 is faulty and not communicating with cobba properly, or a pad is off under cobba, no.

If cobba is dry, a reflow will fix it

If it is faulty, a replacement followed by a rebuild will fix it.

Cheers coin-op

Will i need to reflow or maybe replace the COBBA IC with a hot air rework station

Hi,

Wouldn't try replacing it mate, chances are you'll kill the phone totally!

Too true - I meant replacing cobba could fix it, not that it could be done by the hobbyist.

You need to be able to rebuild the imei and SIM lock data afterwards, but fitting a cobba isn't really that much of a big deal.

i have a few of these fone saying contact dealer.

havnt bothered pissing about with em yet

This has happened to my 3210. It happened straight away after trying to use a free vodafone smcs off a website? Does anyone think this may be related or just a freak coincidence?
