Something About Nothing.

I have a working 'phone again.

Yay.

It was actually a piece of cake to fix it once I had the correct part. I bought a broken 'phone of the same sort and turned it on. It froze at the very end of its boot sequence. "Fair enough", I thought "it's having a software issue."

So I plugged it into my PC to see if it would charge and to see if I could access it at all. When I did this it finished booting and was magically working again! It now boots perfectly every time. I was annoyed at first when it didn't come with a data cable as standard, but now I'm slightly less annoyed because the lack of a data cable earned me a a replacement phone at a bargain basement price since I would assume that had the original owner had the data cable and synch software that they would have tried to access it that way and would have fixed the problem.

The only problem is that it's a lovely shade of pink. Now I'm not really that bothered by the colour of a phone as long as it works, but shocking metallic pink is stretching the limits so I decided to swap the screen into mine anyway. Easy-peasy.

Now there are two proactive possibilities here; I either email everyone who's selling this 'phone with what is obviously the same 'fault' and explain that they should just fix it and get its true value, or I could buy them all and sell them on at a profit.

I'll probably just forget all about it though.

Does anyone want to buy a pink phone with no screen?
