It works when it wants to work. Can't have that...! From my readings at other forums, this is due to the circuit connectivity on its PCB for this certain batch made.Anyways, I manage to get it working again, but not when the PCB is in its original casing. Even when the PCB is put carefully back in, most of the time it plays dead. What I did was to wrap the PCB with kitchen cling-on plastic (for wrapping dishes for microwave or fridge) to insulate the PCB from possible short-circuit, mount the battery and secure it with rubber band. It is not a pretty sight, but it works
. Now all I need to do is to switch it on, twist the PCB board at the corner indicated and wait for BT to connect, and put in on the non-slip mat on the dashboard.I'm posting 2 pix of the 236, if anyone wants to know how it looks like in the insides. So... don't throw away your 236. There might still be life in it. The only tools you need is a small flat-head screwdriver.
