Sony Ericsson P1i

[SevenZero]

Can you Tell me a Good Trusted Place to Repair my Phone you know?

The only two places I can recommend is either Siedles or Abans. There are good repair technicians working in small shops but you will have to try them yourself.

And Can you tell me a main Board to buy?

How could I? It is required to open your phone to see that. If you can't do it, go to a technician. When you know the part numbers, then you buy that from any phone repair shops. Abans & Siedles guys must have them too.

Or can you find me a eBay Link to Buy?

Sorry. This is not possible either. You will have to do it yourself. I don't think eBay is a good place to buy phone spare parts. You better try a local shop.

You can't simply get this phone repaired online. Just take your phone to a phone repair shop.

I tried Googlink using this "Sony Ericsson P1i main board" And some other words too. But didn't find. Same for eBay too.

I asked from Siedles after Knowing about this from Neo. But they said they're not sell or repair Phones.

After I call Abans they directed my Call to CBE. I think Abans isn't repairing phones my it self.

Do you Know Phone numbers of Small Technicians?

I think there is a Problem with my Phone's RAM. Am I right? Or what do you Guess?

Thanks

Do you Know Phone numbers of Small Technicians?

The ones I know might not be good for you. Most of them are not trustworthy to recommend to someone else. If you can buy the board, you can replace it yourself. See http://www.formymobile.co.uk/p1disassembly.php.

I think there is a Problem with my Phone's RAM. Am I right? Or what do you Guess?

RAM chips are soldered to main board usually and there is no way to replace them individually. So there is no point in guessing RAM on mobile phones.

I know how to dissemble the Phone.

I think Mobile Phones' Chips Can be Remove using Hot Gun. I don't have one but technicians have.

How Much will be a Main board? You are telling main board with all Ships. Am I right? it Just like Replacing the Phone. Am I right?

I know how to dissemble the Phone.

Good. You might be able to buy the board from Pettah and fix it yourself. For this, you need to travel to Pettah. Don't ask me to do that for you

I think Mobile Phones' Chips Can be Remove using Hot Gun. I don't have one but technicians have.

Some chips can. But BGA packages are a bit difficult to remove. Normally phone technicians replace boards. They don't repair boards by replacing chips, etc... The point is, it is not easy to point out problems in micro chips.

How Much will be a Main board? You are telling main board with all Ships. Am I right?

Replacing the main board is mostly from LKR 6000 - LKR 10,000. At least that was the case for the main boards that I had to replace on my previous phones.

it Just like Replacing the Phone. Am I right?

No. Since the LCD display, keypads, key PCBs, camera, casing, etc... are ok, it is not as expensive as replacing the whole phone.

You can't do this from home. Take your phone and come to Pettah and see whether you can find a motherboard for your phone.

OK.

And you don't Need to go to Pettah. I will go
I am trying to find everything online because i am Bit lazy to Go out of my home

There Is a Electronic Spare Part Shop in Pettah That my faster Used to Buy Parts and He knows the shop very well and they are so friendly with my Father.

Now it is not selling electronic parts Now it is Selling Phone Spare Parts. (Both are Electronic don't Misunderstand me )

I will ask my father to ask from them about my Phone's Board.

But My Problem is I've seen People repairing Phones replacing Chips. And there are so many classes about phone repairing.

But My Problem why are they replace whole Phone?

If i take my Phone to CBE will they do the Same?

By The Way What was your Phone ?

Thanks for the Helps. That's why i like EC, We always Get Help Just after requesting

I think it is the best way. Go to a phone spare parts shop and get it repaired by them.

But My Problem is I've seen People repairing Phones replacing Chips. And there are so many classes about phone repairing.

I'm not sure about replacing chips. As those are mostly Microcontrollers/ARM/DSPs, it is not possible to identify the problems electrically without the knowledge on firmware troubleshooting. So I don't believe technicians in local shops can repair phones by replacing chips. According to my knowledge, it is done by part to part replacement. Even an experienced electronic engineer will take days to find the problem which is not worth in terms of time spend on that.

This is not going to work always especially in situations where you don't know the problem.

But My Problem why are they replace whole Phone?

Let them decide on that. They will replace each board/part to see where is the problem.

If i take my Phone to CBE will they do the Same?

I think so. They will replace the board with the fault.

By The Way What was your Phone ?

I had many. I even can't remember the models. I use an iPhone and a N97 now which are very helpful business phones and fully satisfied with them.

Thanks Friend for the Helps

Now I think the only way to get my Phone repaired is,

Getting the Main Board of the Phone and Replace it by My Self.

If i couldn't find the board, I will take it to a Repairing place.

I found a guy from Elakiri.com who also have a Sony Ericsson P1i.And he got his phone repaired from below place too.

I will call this One too. And I will try to find a Board too.
