Frank Castle Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Has anyone out there successfully taken apart an AT&T Microcell? I managed to get the thing apart, but I accidently pulled the 6 jumpers on the PCB, which act as a kill switch if not replaced in the correct way before powering back on (3 are fake jumpers and 3 are real ones, I believe). I need to know how they go back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Please don't post the same question in multiple areas of the forum. Also why did you take the jumpers off if you didn't know how to properly put them back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Castle Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Sorry Mr. Protocol. I'm pretty new here, but it won't happen again. But as far as the jumpers go, I didn't take them off. It was an anti-tamper mechanism. When you pulled the side panels off, it pulled the jumpers off with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 No way to match up where they went? I'm sure the ribbon cables are pretty close to where they should be if you try and put it back together. They keep a formed "memory" if you will.

Frank Castle Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 I realize I should have been more descriptive earlier, but sadly it's not a ribbon cable. It's literally 6 2-pin jumpers, of which 3 are fake and 3 are real. They apparently really don't want anyone to get into these things. In the pictures below, you can see the jumpers as well as the sliding trays that were attached to the side walls that pulled them all off. http://i.imgur.com/9LArj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/S7vhi.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
