Prev: Need help: New Palm TX crashes when Wi-Fi is turned on
Next: bluetooth connection for my palm tx
From: Roman Schreiber on 15 Mar 2010 12:14
hello,

I wrote about my new Palm TX, which crashes and locks completely when I turn
on Wi-Fi. In some forum I read that this could be caused by crappy soldering
on the Palm's manboard. Is this possible?
Has anyone experience in this case?

Thanks
Roman

Yes!

I'd check with the dealer and/or the manufacturer for service under
warranty!

Attempting to repair it yourself will void the warranty and may fail to
fix the problem.

Hi!

I know. The problem is, that I sit in Europe, and the dealer in the USA.
Sending it back and then again back again to me + paying custom fees to me
would cost me about $ 100.00 or more. So I want try to repair it by myself.
I have very fine soldering equipment and long year experience in soldering
fine structures. If I kill the mainboard, I could buy a used TX and
transplant the mainboard. I'm angry because the dealer said that he
double-checked the device befor he sent it, but he didn't carefully. If he
had turned Wi-Fi on, he would have realized that the OS crashes and locks
completely. I read that crashes due to Wi-Fi operations are very common at
Palm TXes. Very strange, isn't it?

Regards,
Roman

There shouldn't be any duty or tax for products being shipped to/from a
repair depo, duty is only paid once per product and the product can
generally cross borders freely.
