Just fixed mine tonight. Follow instructions on http://www.linux-hacker.net/InfoGlobe/ for globe removal. I used a .020" feeler guage. The solder joints on the small circuit board at the end of the arm are subject to vibration from operation and about a bazillion revolutions before failing. You'll need a good quality soldering iron with a fine tip, some solder wick, a bit of patience and a bright light and some reading glasses will not hurt. I removed the solder and then the small board. I'm using an 800 degree tip, so with something like that you want to get on/off the pads as fast as reasonably possible so you don't cook it. Then I re-tinned the traces and re-soldered the small board onto the end of the arm. At first it didn't want to light up, but on depressing the "Select" button, all was good. Happy to have ol' blue back up and running again :~)

It appears that you have already removed the 4 screws. The globe will not just fall off, it has to be pried. Take a small- bladed screwdriver or a small-bladed pocket knife and gently pry from any small opening you see between the globe and its base. Work the blade around the globe and it will come off. I just did it and now I'm trying to figure out how to get inside the "guts" of the globe. Will keep you advised.

If still the problem persist the problem is with the box circuit.You need to do continuity testing on the board to find the exact cause.

It can still work if you can take the phone to computer engineer for repairs.
