Magnets and Pocket PC's?

2 Questions
Would a big magnet stick to the bottom of the i-mate 7150?
Would a magnet sticking to this cause any progrems for the pocket pc?
I have an idea for my car but first need to find out if this would be okay...

The HTC Athena has a large magnet in it (and a hard drive) but it works well with no ill effects, the largest problem with a powerfull magnet is when you put the PDA in your pocket, it can wipe out the magnetic strips on credit/ bank cards etc - I have a number of swipe cards that no longer work since getting my Athena!!! - Mike

hmm alright.. i have an idea that i was thinking about..
For any of you not familiar with the Acura Integra, on the dash board, it has a decling indent to show the clock..
now i was wondering.. i would like to but a large magnet under the dashboard before the clock so then i could open up the i-mate 7150 and place in the indentation and not have it sliding around and be held firmly.. i know this may be kind of confusing but for anyone who understand do you see any reason why this cant be done?
here is a picture of the dash board

No reason you couldn't try it - one word of caution though if the car is equipped with air bags take care when working behind the dash - set one off and it would probably put you in hospital.
Check out Brodit for a holder and Pro Clip for the device though, they offer a profersional and safe mount for most devices and cars - a magnet probably won't hold the device in the event of an impact, a heavy phone/ PDA flying around the cabin could cause serious injury - Mike

Ever think of trying something like this?

Target/KMart stores sell smaller versions that would prabally be better.
BTW... i always thought magnets mess with the landscape function in the phone..

[Q] Found an unregistered iPad 4 / 64GB / Wi-Fi in a skip!

Yeah, as unbelievable as it sounds it's quite true. My friend saw a table in a skip outside a charity shop the other day that she thought she would take and restore. When she took it out she noticed something heavy wrapped in newspaper and several old Samsung (D400 type) mobile phones in the skip.
When she unwrapped an iPad she brought it to me to examine. It has a white front and a silver back with model: A1458 written on it. I couldn't turn it on as the battery is dead which is indicated by the battery symbol that appears on the LCD when the power button is pushed.
The charge / USB socket looks to be the new iPhone 5 socket for which I do not have a cable for at present so I was unable to tell what spec it was.
I tried to register it with Apple but when it asked for date of purchase (I made one up of about a week old) the website asked me to provide proof of purchase information and would not show me any details about it.
I found another site that claimed to I.D it by it's serial number and I took a picture of it (attached).
So tomorrow I will get a lead and see if any owner info is on it and if so contact them to find out what they did with it. However I have a feeling this is not going to be registered to anyone (if it powers up).
My friend just wants to sell it.
Can anyone give me some advice on the best course of action? I really don't want to just hand it in to the filth so some copper can give it to his brat in 6 months!
Cheers
Phill.

I highly doubt someone just discarded an iPad 4...do the right thing and take it to an Apple store and have them track down the rightful owner...if the owner can't be contacted or did, in fact, discard it...then have fun selling it or keeping it.

[Q] No signal after screen replacement: Damaged motherboard?

I was doing a screen replacement on a Nexus 5 and a small part from the motherboard fell off.
3 pictures to illustrate the problem here:
http://min.us/mKOC4FQe6F0HI
Afterwards, the mobile connection was a lot worse than before. Now, 2 weeks later, the phone's connection has become unusable and it constantly shows no service. Only very rarely does it have any sort of connection (Edge/3G/H/4G).
Questions:
1)What is the part that came off? (see album above) My knowledge is a bit limited but I'm quite sure it has to do with the connection? I notice there are 3 other parts exactly like this spread over the motherboard.
2)Can I repair it? Do I glue it back on? Do I solder it on? Does it somehow click on? (I have tried if it clicks but this part is so tiny it's almost impossible to really handle
3)Based on my explanation, do you think this tiny part is the only cause? The phone still had some connection at first but it got worse. I'm also planning to order replacement antenna cables to see if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

In my case.. I had to replace the charging circuit Cuz it was 'broken' as described by the cellphone shop.. It has connections to the antenna.. Now phone is fully working.. Before that though, I tried different sim cards with different companies (bell Rogers and fido) all worked on my phone except my carrier sim card (mobilicity). After replacing the circuit I just mentioned everything works fine. Cost is 25$

Needs solder it's an rf trimmer /radio frequency. It's vital to an ariel of one type or other. If you want to risk a bodge assemble everything except the back and hold it in place with bluetack. If it works I was going to say epoxy it but don't. Get someone to solder it. It's easy to do if you have the skills.
Oh vital it's right way round and has now been turned. There should be a slot for tuning it.

Bought it for $200 right from the promotion-sale and after a few days of playing with it I started looking for a firmware, the phone will need some tweaks. I mean, it's a cheap phone with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage but there is some issues with the software, it 'forgets' my fingerprints for example, or reverts to the factory launcher after every reboot - the phone doesn't like my Nova launcher.
...on the second thought, I decided to get my money back, lose 3.5mm jack connection -see the zip attachment, no OTA can fix that. Too bad, I was hoping to have some fun with this phone.
12/21/18 Update
I was curious to see if Gearbest continues selling the Poptel P60 despite having non ISO compliant 3.5mm phone jack and found out that they're trying to correct the problem by shipping it with additional “headphone adapter”, so people can use it:
Package Contents
Cell Phone: 1
Charger: 1
Earphones Adapter: 1
SIM Needle: 1
USB Cable: 1
That adapter wasn't included when I bought the phone back in November, I have my money back already refunded to my Paypal acct., it turns out that Gearbest Customer Service works very well, they have an US agent in California, the return went there shipped with 2-day 1st class USPS and they issued refund right away. No hustles at all.

Question Assistance - AHU connector pin identification needed

Hi People
Need help identifying, or finding supply of pins for my brand new (but faulty) Teyes CC3 8G (non-360).
I have tried raising a dispute with Teyes OFFICIAL AliExpress store. They responded with please watch this movie about steering wheel controls, Reset the unit, and offered 2c refund for supplying a faulty $600 unit?
And yes, I have been waiting many days for the 3 Teyes website WhatApp Support accounts to respond. Nothing from the two Chinese WhatsApp channels, and the Russian withdrew from the chat session without responding.
Oh, and Dan in Australia is p1ssed at me from buying from AliExpress instead of him, and has withdrawn any support. I didn't know he was a separate reseller.
There are a multitude of different pins in mainly 1.0, 1.5, 1.8, 2 .2, and 2.8mm sizes.

Searching Amazon, AliExpress and Google I have managed to put together the following list of pin models.
Hope this might help someone. The list of what I have worked out is on my Google Drive in PDF and Excel files.
The 4 pins required for my repairs and alterations
Large Female Pin rear of Teyes CC3: 13mm long and 3mm wide as read by micrometer
Small Female Pin rear of Teyes CC3: 11mm long, 2mm wide, 3mm height
Really lost with this one.
Kia Cerato 3rd Gen YD 2016 small audio pin: 22mm long, and 0.9mm diameter as read by micrometer (Probably goes as 1mm)
I have found this ->20 Pcs Auto Female Male Crimp Pins Loose Wire Terminal 1123343-1 For Tyco Amp Connector 1376352-1 but I'm not 100% sure. Might order any.
Most pins that I can find have a retaining wing on each side instead of one on the top.
Kia Cerato 3rd Gen YD 2016 large flat pin: 23.5mm long, 2.2mm wide, and 0.75mm height
I am nearly 100% certain this is a 612-2.2A.
Any help greatly appreciated

No longer necessary. I fixed the fault myself.
