Nice one, Nokia... Zzz...

Well... My phone died 2 weeks ago, and when I went to collect it on Wednesday, they told me that the phone has been corroded so it cannot be repaired and the warranty is also voided...

So I decided since the phone is already dead why not I try to open it up to see the extent of the damage...

1) Open the back plastic case...
Quite an easy thing to do... Note that the water damage sticker was purposely triggered (I wanted to see what could happen..) That was after I collected the phone and they said is beyond repair... So I figured that not harm would be done =)

2) Removing the screws...

3) Removing the front piece... [Screen + slider]


4) Remove the screws to the back piece...


The front piece:


5) Remove the screws to the front sheet to reveal the screen and the navigation keys... I pulled up the keypad too...




6) Go back to the main piece and remove the 2 screws holding the main board to the back portion of the phone... Remove the camera too...


7) The back piece:


In all the photos, notice the only corrosion is below the screen! Not on the main circuit board... So I wonder why the phone died completely after servicing [before sending it in I could still get a white screen and the phone is recognized as a "Nokia BB5 ADL Loader USB Generic / Nokia BB5 ADL Loader USB Phone Parent" when connected]

Now nothing happens!!!!

WTH is this???

What Your Handwriting Says About You... [Facebook app]

Hmmm... Got a little free time today and went to try out this app called "What Your Handwriting Says About You"... and I think I would have to agree with most of what they have to say...

You are sometimes a very energetic person, but you are sometimes quite lethargic. [Quite true...]

You're moody, prone to ups and downs, and you don't have a lot of endurance. [Hmmm... This I partially disagree...]

You range from very outgoing to very shy. You are a shapeshifter who is very versatile. [Somewhat true...]

You adapt well, and you look at things from many angles. [I hope so... Haha...]

You are very detail oriented and meticulous. [Quite true...]

You are a careful thinker and a true intellectual. [Quite true...]

You don't a lot of space, and you prefer to spend time with others. [Very true...]

You are a little nosy and intrusive. [Not totally true...]

You sometimes don't give people enough space. [As ET always says... Haha...]

You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. [Quite true...]

You listen to your head and your heart. [This I do not really know, but some of my friends say I do...]

You are a good communicator. [Not really true...]

You work hard to get your ideas across effectively. [Agreed...]

If you have the time, go try it out! Quite accurate results as I've seen... Haha...
