i730 NO SERVICE PLZ HELP!

[i730user]

Today I was puting in a new keypad. I pryed a little on the lower right hand corner of the board because it was stuck in the socket. So I put everything back together. Power it up and I cant get any service it will flash into service once aand hour. I would have to be very close to a window or sumthin. Inormally dont get serivce in my house (a bar or two) and now nothing. The other phones work fine. I tryed a master reset, nothing can any one help?

Look on your boards and see if you see anything missing, like a cover to of the little square circuits. I had a friend that did the same thing. Same way you described and the circuit cover came off. It was trashed and had to be replaced.

Nope nothing came off looked every where.

Well the way you explained it, sounds just like what happened to him. Signal is hardware issue, not a software issue, especially if this occurred while doing a housing change. You might try to put it back into the oem housing and see if the signal increases.

I had a housing change about 2months ago....hapened yesterday when I was changing keypad :aw: :aw:

Go back to whatever point it worked and try it again. If it works then the keypad was doing it, if it doesn't work then you know its not the keypad.

hey try this out
this happened on one of my i90's and i fixed it maybe it will work for you

with the phone on
hit #,*,Menu, Right fast
then go down toe "current freq"
and hit ok once in side, the phone will start searching for a frequency that has serive once it has service do the above steps and go bakc to current frequency and hit ok once again to turn it off

[i730user]

Nothin cant find a signal

[XsTrEeTfLyErX]

how long did you let it search for? i left mine on for about 15 minutes and walked aroudnt eh block lol and when i got home i finally beeped that i had service

[i730user]

3 mins maybe ok I'll let it search for awhile maybe I should put it outside lol

XS EDIT:
Post 2 - Should it be blinking? The frequency?

Post 3 - It didnt work I took it outside and it beeped.....but I came back in and nothing.

Post 4 - could it be the am housing maye i need a new housing

[XsTrEeTfLyErX]

it could deffinatly be the housing, if you got service out side, post a pic of your housing i know the am chrome housings and anything painted on the outside with a matalic look sucks with service

[NDredsox]
