So long, K770i


A couple of big falls, software bugs.... my Sony Cybershot K770i took them all and survived. But it was no match for a cup of garam chai. The once awesome phone is now reduced to a flickering, dying mess.

For those who came in late, I've been using this phone for over two years now and I can safely say this- it is a smartphone in it's own right. It may not run iOS or Android but it served me in every way possible for a phone. Calls, Awesome camera, music, internet... hell, even a flashlight!

After the aforementioned mishap, I opened it for cleaning but not before the whole thing had dried up. I had to use a mild solvent to wipe of the sticky sugar on the keyboard membrane and motherboard. But it was too late for the screen. The liquid had penetrated through the layers rendering it beyond repair.




After reassembly I switched it on again and was greeted with some messed up lighting on the keypad accompanied by a demo video on the screen. Then nothing. Not a single key works.


I think it's done for good now... gsmarena, here I come!

@V: :-(
@bhaiya: Tried it bhaiya. Rice is no match for dried sugar. It seeped inside the screen and ruined it completely. Thanks nyway :-)
