ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 We had a Kyocera User Group meet at CCD (Cafe Coffee Day ), Sion. It was a meet that was just decided on Friday, over private phone conversations ... and planned in a Day . The post came on rimweb pretty late... I know that this time the notice was VERY short.. but still we had a good turn up but the only thing that bothered me was the people who promised they would be there (on phone calls / SMS ).. but did not turn up! well .. .getting back to the topic in hand... The reason, I called up for a meet was because a lot of Kyocera Users could not figure out the best way to use this handset - and some of the repairs could be done on the handset without much effort - I can certify this since I recovered my handset from a regular crash(once in 2 mins) and then finally an SRCP [The most dreaded infliction of the Kyocera - that in itself is considered the end of any sane Kyo users - kyo life ] My handset was showing me the dreaded message sometime 2 weeks back - since I was already in the Kadki stage of my life (kangaal for the uninitiated) a repair was definetly out of bounds... I just opened up the Kyo - knowing fully well that I had nothing to loose... gave a hot alco bath, heated the board, de/re-soldered the phone chipset (and to be honest - shorted a chip ), but once everything was put back in place. ... .... The PHONE WAS PERFECT!!! since I was quite confident now .. I decided to call for the meet... and the people who turned up will certify for the same ... I will try to make this thread a complete encyclopedia for Kyocera users ... yeah might have a PDF version soon The innards of the Kyocera 7135 The Kyocera 7135 is a smartphone, it encapsules a PALM OS PDA and a phone, initially i thought that it was all a one show chipset ... but well that is'nt true.. u have a PCB for the Palm segment and one for the phone ... Opening the phone Open the 4 screws on the back of the phone, then apply pressure upwards to remove the back cover ... Seperate the backcover (with the stylus and the antenna) Remove the Phone PCB (2 screws) Hold and lift gently by the sides (Phone PCB) Reverse side (Phone PCB) The plastic + aluminium seperator to seperate Phone and Pda PCB's The PDA section Removing the connection of the LCD Disconnected Screen seperate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Kewl ... So what actually runs the show on the handset ? PDA .. Powered by the Motorola DragonBall processor ... or this The Phone is powered by the qualcomm MSM5100 chip ... (used in other phones too ) PS : When I got the SRCP error message - this is what I removed and re-soldered (though the MIN was corrupted, I recovered it back - thanks to the rimwebian from the Kyo ASC The PDA and the phone PCBs exchange communicate thro this --> One of the costliest phones from Reliance - at my mercy on my table The memory card reader Headset Jack Battery Charging sockets Grafitti and Keypad Features of the back Vibrator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Volume controls The handset you just saw was one which was given to me to repair by one of the members who came to the meet... The display was dead, and he had taken the handset to the Kyocera ASC in vashi and in andheri, and was offered a repair for Rs. 4000/- All I did was to reconnect the display wiring (gave the board a thorogh cleaning with IPA) and heated the board too .... then I just rewired the display LCD panel. and here is the results (pooh !! 4000 worth of repair - Costed me about 250/- for the cable from a old handset which i had got for that price) here is a contact sheet !!! More soon to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

basant_jp 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Cool Ashok....very comprehensive dissection guide. All your 'keeda' things are fantabulous! Btw, I wonder if you could help me out too. My kyocera is lying dead with me, i was told that some connector is faulty (my set fell off from 3 storeys) and since the connector is not available separately, chip needs to changed completely...some 6k worth job. Any chances? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any chances? Can I have a glance at the handset ... If u have a digi, take a snap of the mobile (so i can have a rough estimate of the repair chances) if u are confident enuf to open it ... we can try a analysis on webcam cheers ashok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
basant_jp 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Sounds good to me. I can send you the snap but...snap of what? The handset looks just perfect from outside. I am not that bad at dissecting things...let me know when can we set up video con call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Thought i could do that tonight ... but I doubt it ... I forgot the birthday of one of my old friends (and that happens to be a female) - and now I am getting battered for forgetting something like that guess what .. If I survive the crash after meeting her ... we could organize for a vid con cheers ashok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gids 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) ashok, first of all thanx for this excellent post. U really amazed me with ur capabilities. i believe the perfect title is "fix ur kyocera at home" anyway dude plz help me out aswell as my kyo is lying dead with srcp message n also a new addition is that my phone only starts with charger on, maybe some fault with battery connectors as well also, im aware alot of people would have queries about how to fix srcp, so i was wondering if u could record the video conferencing and put it up on youtube or someplace else for others like me 2 see?? Edited October 15, 2006 by gids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted October 16, 2006 Sure guess that can be done ... in fact I was thinking about trying one more phone with SRCP ... a video and upload it someplace ... Is there anyone in Mumbai with the nice and friendly SRCP error ??? if yes ... please buzz me back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MOBILE FAN 42 Report post Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) Great work dude. There was no doubt you are a genious but now what ppl call you is perfact - Dr. Ashok. I remember we had a chat once that after upgrading the Firmware, SRCP should not happen. I have upgraded and till now my phone is good. But your post suggests that it can occur even after upgrading to the latest firmware. So I agree with Gids that there should be a video which show the "How to Fix Kyo at home". One suggestion - the next time you fix a Kyo, try to fix it without desoldering and soldering - if that works, I am sure many of us can do the fix, because many of us either dont have the tools for soldering or lacking the skill of it. Please post if just cleaning and heating works. Once again a salute to Dr.Ashok. Edited November 9, 2006 by MOBILE FAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
