Steve now is full time to Plan B project so you better contact the
sales manager Chelsea Wei(chelsea@openmoko.com) making copy to
Sean(sean@openmoko.com) , they are also in copy of this mail.

> * What they need to know from us and what we must satisfy?
Number of components needed (I suggest you to ask for the double you
intended to fix, components are pretty small and very very hard do
find if they accidentaly jumps from your hands), you must take a
register of imei numbers to report them back. Also number of damaged
neos in the process. Surely they will apreciate some picture of an
already fixed Neo pictures from your "Iron man" to verifiy and hints
before you do the fix party, this ones to Joerg(joerg@openmoko.org)
with copy to Sean.

> * Who from local community is the trusted person for they - is it related to organisation of group sales?
No as far as I know, trusted person is the organizer of the event, so
I guess in this case is you , openmoko guys are really open minded
so don't be afraid to ask anything you need from them.

> ... we only want to avoid that they must explain us this all again.
And surelly they aprecieate it, I hope I have helped you in some way,
Chelsea, Sean, please add any further information to Pavel to make
sucessfull they party.

> Every insight from technician, who performed your rework is welcomed.
Rafa!!! Can you explain some hints and tricks to Pavel, about how to
deal with those f&%ing d&(mm small components?

I will accept your apologizes only if you accept mine for the same
reason , the real meanfull is that we would be able to comunicate

Hi Pavel, Chelsea & David,

> Rafa!!! Can you explain some hints and tricks to Pavel, about how to

I'll try to do my best. First of all, i've a pending post into my blog
in my TODO list, that now is on Openmoko Planet. I only need to find
the time to do it.

The problem with the small components is that you've to be really
carefull to manage them, and be very patient. I'll recommend the
technician to practice with some small components before to do some
fixes in order to get comfortable with his soldering
skills/techniques. A good tweezers, and also a desoldering tweezers
for SMD components, is recomendable. I didn't have the desoldering
tweezers and i get more than 30 Neos fixed IIRC, but i'm looking to
get ones to speed up the process, and be sure that pads doesn't get
out.

I recommend you to take a look into the joerg's folder for Hardware hacking,
http://people.openmoko.org/joerg/GSM_EMI_noise/
the "big-C*" are the documents that explain the fix. The SOP is the
official one and the other is a community guy that makes his own fix.

Other recommendation that saves you some time with mounting/umounting
the phone, is to check the circuit diagram that is on the SOP, and
check the soldering points, to don't get short-circuit neither
soldering with the nearest pads of the other small components.

Same here, the worst English "speaking"/"wrinting" in this list

If you have any question, i would be really glad to answer it.

Zdravim,
Itchy007 je myslence byt nasim "Iron man" naklonen. V tuto chvili je ale plne vytizen studijnimi povinnostmi.

tak mi prisel mail ohledne BuzzFix party.

No já bych snad taky přijel, ale moc šťastný z toho, že to je v Berouně, nejsem. Brno, Ostrava nebo přinejhorším Praha by byla lepší.

Zdravim vsechny soucasne / budouci majitele Freeruneru revize A6 a starsich.

jen doplním, že revize se zjistí takto: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Finding_hardware_revision

akorát mi není jasný algoritmus porovnání čísla "0350" s řetězcem "A6"?

jinak Beroun mi taky moc nevyhovuje; hlašte se, kdo by to mohl vzít z Brna?

Beroun je kousek vedle Prahy ...

nemusíš se opakovat, ne všichni žijící na Moravě jsou vidláci, pro které je vrcholem dobrodružství jít do hospody přes les do vedlejší vesnice
