I used to work in a Nokia repair centre back in the late 90s early 2000s and used to fix about 30 of these a day, they were so simple to fix and Nokia used to allow a full refurbishment for all warranty repairs , phones used to come in looking like they were through a tour in Afghanistan and left looking brand new 😅

I learned heaps more about the 33xx series models. And I've been able to play some great games in the process. Here is the link to PMM Manager by Jeep. I spent a good couple of hours searching for this software after reading about it in forums. Finding this was the key to this entire story. The Internet Archive really is an amazing resource. web.archive.org/web/20080417092036/www.knopas.neostrada.pl/download.htm I'm going to try making some less involved videos that are faster to produce.

because of these three videos with Nokia DCT 3 phones I ended up buying a couple of lots with good and bad Nokia 3310, 5110 and their modifications, service cables, JAF flasher, and everything. Now I have five 3310 in good condition, I modified one of them with white LEDs, one Korean 3315, one good 3330, three 3410, one with limited edition Space Impact cover, and second is silver in mint condition still with factory screen protector on (got this one for 10$), two 5110 in great condition with 6 batteries for them, and a whole box with covers, parts, motherboards, screens that you can put together and make another ten 3310 ones. I just can't stop now😂 Many sellers sell these devices very cheap in broken, not a working condition, but after cleaning some contacts on the motherboard and power button itself the motherboard works great again

I used to write games for this, along with the other J2ME phones - mostly sold them into China and Finland. Made versions of Pacman (screen scrolled up/down to follow action), Pengo, Donkey Kong and some other platformers. I think we were limited to about 30Kb for everything - code, graphics and audio at the time :) There is no "3D engine" in the phone - the game itself just draws directly to the display.
