7230 - Pin FFFFFFF

[Mystique]

Cannot send/receive e-mails from a 7230 - the pin reads FFFFFFF.

I tried the Apps Loader, generating a new encryption key, rebooting, removing battery and SIM but these did not help

Hi - I did a quick "search" on FFFFFFFF and found this thread:

Hardware failure.

Shame it means it's broken - that would be a cool PIN, if it worked :-)

I'd guess RIM have reserved all the really good ones, but these could be like "cherrished" car registsration plates!

Correct - HW failure. Time for an upgrade.
