Any1 had sent their phone to Care Centre to fix the earpiece problem? How long did it take? How they fix the problem (bend or unbend?) Which Care Centre?
I'm thinking of fixing it myself using the Russian way, since I'm a techy myself (not phone, but general), yet still hesitating... Scare later break something and things get worse...

Which screw? Need T5 screw driver right? Any1 has the link to the Chinese way (screw way) of fixing the earpiece problem? I forgot to bookmark it last time. Now to dig out the link from old posts, is like searching for a needle in the sea (too many post )

Does it solve the problem permanently?

Who say the Russian way is easy one? It's so hard to open the front cover. I can't manage to open it...Each time i try to force open, i can almost hear it screams:" Nooooooo....".

>< i can't do it la...

You mean the Russian way? Yes, I know it's easy, but then i have problem opening the cover. Can you kindly show pics how to properly open it? I called Nokia Care Centre (Amcorp), they said have to leave the phone to them for 1-2 days....crap

Argh...Finally got the courage to do it. This time didn't give face, really "gan gan lai" open the cover, and I made it.

I notice unbending the pins doesn't make sense. To fix it, you must make sure both earpiece pins is contacting the PCB firmly. So, I actually bend it 'upwards'. Here's my 'personal' guide





Hope it helps. Now the earpiece volume is normal

@ Pana,

Here's my guide, based on the Russian way

1) Use the plectrum, open the top cover/lid starting from the camera button.



You should remove only the plastic 'frame' which locks the screen to the phone's body. It is detachable on its own (no screen, no metal parts).



2) This is how it looks like when the earpiece is in place:



Next, use a flat-head ('-' type precision tool or any small screw driver.



3) Removing the earpiece will reveal the two contact points on the mainboard for the earpiece.



4) Here's the default appearance of the earpiece (bottom):



To make sure the pins can touch the contact points (highlighted above) properly, I bended the earpiece pins 'upwards'. (Be very careful here not to break the pins. You may want to hold points A and B while bending.


Now, you're done with bending. Next, put back the earpiece. Here's the tricky part, as you may have forgotten which is the correct position to put in. No worry, the part is keyed, meaning, it can only go in one way. Try the other way if the 1st trial fails. DO NOT force it in, it should go in smoothly.

5) Put back the the cover and the plastic 'frame'. Now you're done
and can forget about the earpiece problem forever

Lol, actually not my guide la. Since Pana want to pin a DIY guide to 1st post, so I sort of like help a bit in the compilation. I know how bad it feels to deal with the problem.

I think the WLAN is just as good. because i can see our neighbour offices' SSID.

Oh, so you can't remove the mobile MSN also? I encountered this before and tested uninstalling via PC, it didn't work either. The only way is to *#7370# reset your phone. After reset, the icon will still be there, but now it can be uninstall. Good luck

Now I'm waiting for a workable TORCH LIGHT software for this phone. The S60v3 version doesn't work for this phone..

No....Don't do it. There's no official MSN mobile software compatible with this phone yet, and whichever version there is out there now won't work and you may not be able to uninstall it. As what Pana recommended, use Slick. It works like charm and support other IM, too...like Yahoo, AOL, ICQ....etc

Call you in a short while

Any1 tried before transferring file from PC to Tube via WLAN?

Guys, for the 7-days-trial Nokia Map Navigation, you can actually backdate your phone before the license expires, and it will be valid forever. I think I'm going to do this until the GarminXT for S60v5 release, since I don't rely on the phone's date.
