Hello Everyone,

My n900 had developed a touch screen issue wherein no touch was being registered in any screen.
Nokia Service in my area refused to touch the phone and the reason was that they didnt have enough expertise in N900 !! (I am based in India and the phone was available only for a couple of months)

Since my phone was out of warranty I decided to dismantle the phone. I used the 'Nokia Service Manual' for the same and cleaned all the flex and adapters visible in the touch assay. On reassembling, my touchscreen was working perfectly but my earpiece had stopped working !!!

Sound is perfect from the speaker and headphones but completely blank from the earpiece. Have went through some of the posts listed below for a solution but to no avail:

On interesting statement from the 1st post was -

I have tried expanding the prongs and compressing them but no sound available yet.What should be the correct position of the prongs ?Any other solution/hints for solving the issue.

I have also attached pics showing the earpiece and the contacts.Sorry for the long long post.

Thank you,

as long as the earpiece prongs touch the contacts, that should be all that matters. I cannot see properly from your picture, but have you tried raising them from their current position? I had the same problem once, where even though the prongs were extended, they still did not touch the earpiece contacts.

So you mean to say the 2 prongs should touch the 'golden' area on the top for the circuit to complete right ? Actually even I had tried that but there was no difference

Wireless headsets are much more convenient and easier to use than the conventional type. It's very adaptive and you can just plug it in your ear anytime , anywhere.
