Problems with the N900 lock-switch on the right side?
 

Anyone had problems with the screen lock/open switch on right side of the device. Mine is jamming sometimes so I need to use force and slide it down with nail and then it might jam at the bottom position.

Sometimes it works like it should. No any force needed. No idea what is jamming the switch and I didn't find any dissamble pics so I could not study the mechanics of the switch.

I assume there is no way to fix it by myself. And the ******* official repair/ warranty service here is so slow it takes atleast 2 weeks or more to get it fixed. :mad:

Nope, not a single problem with that ever. You probably want to get yours fixed.

I've never had any issues with mine, i've only had my N900 for little over a week though...

I do have the same problem and also my screen turns on and off at any time... how did yours get solved?
by the way... I am in Africa... not even a slow service centre near.... :(

Spray some Oil :)
I think it's rusty

sounds like it'll need to go in for repair. I'd guess its a spring mechanism which controls the movement of the switch. the spring is probably damaged

full of dirt maybe

well mine is not jammed, it slides perfectly. It only does not WORK as it should....sometimes it does, sometimes not...
suddenly my screen gets on and then when it is in my pocket it often starts an application...
suprised to see that apparently only a few people have this problem....

I've never had any such problems with mine, but there is a service manual floating about which might help.

thanks for the service manual... I must say I am hesitant to open the device also because they say you should not re-use the screws...
