Hi Tonny, Did you ever get this sorted? I bought a phone off ebay with the same problem and the screws are missing from that one also because there are no holes in the board for the srcews to go into. mick

Hi I tried the fix suggested by Majesty about deleting the gs.apple addresses in the hosts file but it didn't have any affect. Wish it had. This is getting me down. I'm reluctant to buy another battery until I know it will work with my 3GS phone. Unfortunately I do not have the original battery anymore so am not quite sure what to do. I was hoping for a software fix.
