headphones dont work
 

when i connect them i get the handsfree icon in status bar and the speakers are mute.... but no sound tough headphones...

same thig is with TV out... i get the picture.... but not sound... (altough picture is kinda dark =/ )


tried different types of headphones (some nokia some other proffesional sets) and its all the same...

Re: headphones dont work
 

its hardware problem =/ when i plug in the headphones and move connector a bit it gives me some sound.. only on left side... its the same with every other headphone or with the tv out...


damn it! and its brand new device...

Re: headphones dont work
 

Thats sucks! Exchange it for another dude. I am pretty sure that isn't a common issue on the N900

Re: headphones dont work
 

problem is that phone was bought in another country. I asked dealer here and they said that warranty doesnt work that i should take it where i bought it. I fail to understand that, cuz it was also nokias official dealer. I have 24 monts warranty papers and everything...

so this gives me next idea...

I have found n900 service manual and i can clearly see there that AV connector is just a small piece that its easy to replace... Any idea where could i buy only that piece? maybe its the same as on n95, n97 XD

I know its a longshoot... but gotta ask...

Re: headphones dont work
 

jes go to your shop where you bought it i dont know how old it is but you got 14 days where you can change the phone or get your money back.when i was you i would be very pissed on;)

Re: headphones dont work
 

well.. its another country.. not really along the way =P

Re: headphones dont work
 

thats a disaster:(

Re: headphones dont work
 

i really dont know what to do but i had the same prob with my crapy n97(1 of 10000) i reflash the firmware with nsu and then it works.i would try this first.(why anyone at this forum bought his n900 in a other country????)

Re: headphones dont work
 

Try cleaning the port with a pipe cleaner with a light covering of WD40, no need to replace the whole device. I had a similar problem with my Treo 650 and the port just needed cleaning.

Re: headphones dont work
 

i was there and it was hellava cheaper than in my country... also tought ///sill me XD/// that warranty will be ok in my country as long as i bought it at official nokia dealer...

well the rule goes for my cars nad bikes... guess it doesnt apply to nokia...


good thing is that i havw few n95 that are broken XD so will check if the AV connector fits... did a bit googleing... and on pictures they look indentical...

Re: headphones dont work
 

tried blowing in XD also used a small pressure of air (airbrush compressor) but no help...

and im not that comfortable to put any liquids into my phone...

Re: headphones dont work
 

You could probably submerge your phone in WD40 and it would stil work. A pipe cleaner with a light spraying of it is totally safe. you can brush it with the dry end afterwards if it makes you feel any better.

Re: headphones dont work
 

a bit of update...

i played with connector a bit... when i plug it in i hear the sound on left side.. if i move it a bit.. i hear the sound on right side XD... so i guess contacts in there are oke... they are working... but they are a bit apart... will dismantle it and just pull those springs a bit closer so they both touch headphone connector when i plug it in =)


just gotta find new scredriver cuz n900 has new types of screws that werent on older models...

Re: headphones dont work
 

oh yeah ;)

fixed it...

made that new scredriver out of some old one... grind it a bit to fit---desperate times desperate measures...

problem was in those little springs that goes from AV connector to motherboard... they were bent left n right.... so there was no good contact with motherboard... guess an error while mounting the device in factory =/


anyways... works perfectly now...


thanx to all that tried to help....
