another picture for the gallery
edit: regarding serial access, I've been unable to locate a 1.8V source, plus everything's glued over anyways. Seems like I'll have to go with an external power source. Last edited by frostschutz; 12-08-2018 at 04:08 PM. |

Is the topmost screencover removable? The voyage has a glued glass layer, afaik; pw4 is supposed to have plastic, but is it one unit with the screen?

In case anyone is curious - here is the LTE version.
They really didn't hold back with the 'goop' - even the sim card is covered in glue! Trying to get serial access to unbrick this one and couldn't get anything to stick - think I'll have to do a better job of scraping off the goop first. Interesting that it's all on one board now - the PW2 3G had a separate daughter board for the 3G bits. |
