Hi all

First post here and a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff. Very new to it. Seems like you guys have a really good thing going here, informative and helpful! So I'm amped to join.

I have a W850i which I am trying to get going again. Classic symptoms of the White Screen of Death and only the vibratory response when ever you push the power button. Only way to switch it off is to remove the battery.

I've read the tutorial on XS++ and loaded the SEMC USB drivers (with much difficulty). Problem is nothing happens when I press and hold the c button after connecting the USB cable. XS++ times out and nothing happens.

I have had the phone apart and did note the the slider flex ribbon was worn and have ordered a replacement. Could this be the problem? Almost as though the communication is not getting through because of the flex ribbon?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Dylan
