    I picked up a used Classic (and 4 other old 0s6/7 devices) in a lot for 10 bucks. The classic works but it gets hot when charging. Could it just be a dead battery?

    fails a lot of the tests, trackpad also doesnt work. Might just be a water damaged unit. Gonna try opening it up to see what's inside. Wish it worked, but now I know why it was part of a ten dollar bundle.

    Took the back cover off but without removing the battery I can't see any water mark indicators.

    would have been nice to get it working. Since the light sensor doesnt work the keyboard also doesnt light up.

    EDIT: Do you feel like pointing me in the direction of the most up to date Classic autoloader?

    It runs. It just doesn't run cool. It'll make a good bedroom decoration after I remove the battery

    I doubt it'll fix anything, but get the Z30 loader from here: https://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-l...links-1128992/

    Not sure about the weather down there, but up in northern Canada it'd make a perfect small hand warmer like mentioned above.

    Hamilton is like 1C right now. But Hamilton is like Southern Canada, I'll wait until January when it actually starts snowing.
