NOKIA 3310 Mobile with NO Power | Can We Fix It?

[@muffinvapes]

Replace battery with a working one These phones need the center "data" pin to boot

[@MrBledi]

agree

[@JoeyDoesTech]

MVP. Thankyou. I’ll get a battery and have a look 🤭

[@raffern]

Exactly this

[@Valerie_is_doing_stuff]

Yeah what was what I was going to say. 100% needs the battery.

[@HD-wf3bp]

Great tip thanks :)

[@StezStixFix]

That thing's gonna look so cool back in it's original case! Hope you can get it working, good luck! 👍

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Yeah I prefer the original case over anything else :) thanks bud.

[@unlokia]

The black resin “spill” is BGA underfill. The stuff flaking off the solder joints is just slight oxidisation.

[@markomadic9234]

If you can't source a battery: old Nokia phones needed the data/BSi to boot, or go into recovery mode. I'd try setting the PSU to e.g. 3.8V, and then use a resistor from GND to middle pin. I'd start at 150k ohm, and if it doesn't boot, try decrements of 5k ohm until I reach 74/75k Ohm. Obviously try a battery if you can first :)

[@Techformative557]

3310's almost never break...those memes aren't wrong, if anything they are an understatement....3310's are very picky about batteries, get a working battery, plug it in and keep it on the charger overnight...it should turn on. Also try evenly heating the board and then soaking it in isopropyl. Lightly scrub with a toothbrush, there maybe tiny metal particles causing a short

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks for the comment pal, will deffo try this :)

[@Bean-cs6vm]

I think the black goo could be underfill, especially around the chip but not sure about the stuff around the caps

[@jontait1095]

I think the middle pin needs to be ground aswell for testing with power supply

[@ncross1857]

Looking forward to the revisit video. I love when folk try to fix retro stuff. It's so much more interesting and entertaining.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks bud appreciate it :)

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

Those phones where made to repair not like the ones are made nowadays. It was very interesting to see the first part of this 3310 ;)

[@revengenerd1]

More like the real cash in those days was the accessories like changing the covers, now its all digital!

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

@@revengenerd1 That may also is true. Edit: or at least part of it.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Yeah it was so easy to take apart! I really enjoyed doing it :)

[@rogernichols8150]

So so enjoy your videos please keep them coming and here to help get your videos out to everyone to enjoy...cheers buddy

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks bud :)

[@jonathanmartin3375]

Now that was a trip down memory lane. Can't wait until you're able to diagnose this one and fix it.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Hopefully I can! :!

[@jontait1095]

Daisy chain the middle pin to ground a lot of these old phones need it to work. I think the centre pin has something to do with bms it's a battery temperature sensor and needs to be ground

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks Jon, will give this a go :)

[@jontait1095]

@@JoeyDoesTech yeh positive pin to power and the other 2 to ground and the phone should fire up

[@the.first.creation]

hi i don't know if may be by now u've lost the phone, when you connect the cables split the negative wire and connect em to the middle pin as well

[@frozerinosrepairs]

Joey for the older phones you need to touch the ground with the middle pin to open the phone :)

[@renataavgeri1132]

Yep that gets many

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Ahhh that would make sense! :D Thanks Froz :)

[@frozerinosrepairs]

I send message on discord for more information :)

[@avengence]

Had that phone in freshman year of highschool. Had the silver body just like this one. Crazy

[@Adrialf]

Did you manage to fix it? How did you do it? I have one that I connect to charge, it went crazy turning on and off multiple times per second and it stopped working....

[@deanwalkington6165]

Great as always joey , it must be hard yo find something to fix that will make good content what about a c64 or a ax spectrum. I always enjoy your videos whatever you try to fix so keep up the good work.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou Dean for the support 😊

[@PixlDoesThings]

I have a nokia 3310 and at exactly 3:00 in the video you show that bit of the battery. For me the battery has some orange tape on top of that

[@garystockton4100]

Hope you doing well. Thanks for the great videos. Keep them coming.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

All good thanks Gary, hope you're well too!

[@blakesmith9039]

How would you get one running today?

[@garymead5250]

Hi joey how are I am good great video gary

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Cheers Gary, hope all is well!

[@TheCod3r]

You copied me 😂 haha shame about this, hope you can get it going in a revisit mate

[@JoeyDoesTech]

😂😂 Hopefully pal

[@dakwill380]

It's great to see you expanding to other electronics just helps to improve your great skills and learn even more great as always.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou Dak :)

[@ribbo1]

ah 3310 Joey! those were the days!

[@AlexandeRSciswoR]

Joey's next video: I bought a Laserdisc reader, can we fix it?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

😂

[@Jimnymudhunter]

To power the phone up wile you wait.. rip the cell out the battery and force 3.4v into the pins as long as the data wire is connected with ground.. you will get life in the phone.. its 1 for diagnosis and 2 to avoid aftermarket batterys and to make more money going back to them for a replacement one

[@BodziuM]

maybe without 3rd battery pin phone can't boot up?

[@muffinvapes]

Your 100% correct needs center pins was a common problem on 3310s and 3330s Just need battery replacement

[@leonardmatala]

the third pin is the battery temperature sensor , has to be put to the ground to be able to boot the phone

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks for the heads up pal 😀

[@LiamB1708]

This is beautiful to disassemble. I've been thinking of getting one myself to try and fix up for the nostalgia. So many memories! Obviously the games, the (mostly rude) texts you'd flick up and down to animate, extortionately priced wallpapers, the ringtone composer, changeable covers...

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Ahhh it’s SO nostalgic! Even to hold 🥹

[@leonardmatala]

the third pin is the battery temperature sensor , has to be put to the ground to be able to boot the phone

[@JoeyDoesTech]

This makes a lot of sense 😂 Thanks :)

[@itsstyled8110]

i love that people are thing fixing nokias i wish their were still support for these type of phones

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Yeah it would be handy 😀

[@abhishekkappattanavar9793]

You should try 4.3V input

[@marcuskobel6562]

Nokia phones are unrepairable because you can't kill them. 😂 This one is an exception.

[@MrMarshmelloBoi]

Little did the new millennium know, the 3310 would dominate phone history.

[@noxoxe2938]

Connect BSI and GND together, before powering the phone with dc supply.

[@MrMarshmelloBoi]

The common causes for this to not turn on is corroded terminals, but if this didn't, then the motherboard or battery is bad.

[@markg3506]

replace the battery.. It wont turn on when no battery is installed. and a power supply wont work.

[@trikky2.2]

Nice video :) I'm an electronics engineer and actually managed to kill an original 3310 ... Mind you it took being homeless and sleeping rough last winter :)

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks Trikky! As in you were homeless?

[@trikky2.2]

@@JoeyDoesTech Yep, as in packed a rucksack and walked away from my life. Ended up sleeping rough on the streets of Brighton. Now getting back to normality in the north :)

[@bullshibik]

missing step. it may not turn on because you are trying to feed supply only positive and negative only. puy BSI SUPPLY TAP TO NEGATIVE

[@Mela_Pipi]

Aha. Power. Through the cap. DC. Through the cap.

[@spawnterror]

I just dropped one of mine and the LCD doesn't come back, everything else works.

The thing that supposedly was indestructible.

Try to flash it.

try a new battery with some charge in it and see what happens

Will do Dan, thanks

[@IamPedroUK]

Hey Joey, are you likely to revisit this one? 😁

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I have it next to me 😂😂 One day it will return!

So... MEMEs lied! in fact it can break!

[@davidayres7973]

Psh. Fake News. Everyone knows in a 1000 years some archaeology student will dig one of these out of the ground and it will turn on with 3 bars of battery 😂

The case is for a 3330

[@roxxliveracing2039]

get a working one and test with that :)
