N905i - what are the options?

[kevsweb]

It wont power on. Wont charge (no indication light on the phone). I read in an old post that a battery change with the same issue didnt resolve this.

What are the options?

Power regulator on the mainboard is dead?

[kevsweb]

is that something thats fixable? In the UK?

and is it worth buying a new battery to try that first or not?

[zerox678]

what you should try is to charge the battery by itself somehow... then you wont need to buy another battery and might waste it...

I would have absolutely NO idea how to charge a battery by itself... any suggestions on that zerox?

I dont have the dock though, :/
I just have a charger and the phone..

[zerox678]

well you could always to rent a piece on machinery, I think there is a piece that can give charge to a phone, not sure what its call.

How about taking the charger plug off and attaching the wires to the battery? Will that work?

[zerox678]

try attaching the wires to the phone

[kevsweb]

that could be difficult, as the wires are soldered to the plug. And I dont have a soldering iron..
I will find a way!
I had a quick look online for batteries, but the only site that I found for a replacement would ship to Japan only...

[zerox678]

I can ship you a battery but its expensive for shipping....
