Thanks for a nice and helpful instruction.

The rubber power-on button had broken down so I just removed the damaged parts. Now using a toothpick to push the microswitch directly.

Only using the phone indoors for nostalgic reasons, playing Snake :-)

Thanks for antenna help

I have had about three 6310i’s and the on/off button was the failure problem in all three.
