Estel

I agree the next steps will be to carry out a proper fix. I may get around to the actual repair over the weekend.

You raised a valid point and I feel compelled to stress the following: Anyone attempting to perform temporary repairs and inventive ones at that should be aware it is entirely at their own risk and they alone are accountable for any loss of property, damage or injury to themselves or others.

I am sure anyone taking a hammer or gluing springs to PCB inside their phone will be aware of this. I am certain it is a last resort to avoid disruption of service and good clean Nokia fun!

On the other hand I was brought up watching Blue Peter and sticky back plastic has been my savior for many years and sometimes outlasted actual repairs under warranty. Never under estimate the power of sticky back plastic or in my case cut down store cards and a dead sim.

I was reluctant to use anything that might mess with the EMI shield. Another very good point of yours although nothing has been stuffed under the cover that would make it dangerous besides this is a developers phone and probably out of warranty and I have not come across a successor to this phone yet despite the advances in mobile technology recently. I will buy a newer Tablet PC from China first.
