The remarkable part of it IMHO is that the FR is almost entirely free of components right there. There's a small nearly-empty space between the USB port and the vibe motor which lines up with the burnt spot on the SIM. Looking at the component placement diagram and my own board photos, I'd guess that B4902 is the culprit - it's located a few mm away from that end of the SIM and is pretty much centered in the width of the SIM. (and it sits on USB VBUS it seems) j _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
