Well when yours come, charge it for a while then turn on and call. Prove me wrong

I would go as far as earthing yourself by touching the radiator before you touch your N900. Why do you think the tech guys (fixing laptops etc) wear those equipments to earth themself?

Considering the N900 mainly made of plastic, rather be safe than sorry mate.
Make sure to ALWAYS wear gloves when using your N900 okay.

I agree i have had loads of nokia phone and most of them just put in bat and your away never a problem

Static will damage sensitive devices like transistors and will easily kill some devices like MOSFET. However, it's not that easy. Firstly, when soldered onto something conductive, devices become less sensitive to static because the conductor around them takes some of the punishment.
Also, circuit designers aren't *****s. There is similar phenomena (i think it's called transient state in english) when something changes in a circuit (like disconnecting a load), which can produce similar spikes in current. Damn i'm technical. The idea is the circuits are somewhat protected from discharges.
Furthermore: plastic is an insulator. It shields from static. Sure, when charged enough it will become a hazard, but it's not that easy to do it accidentally. That's why you had to stand on plastic things in the experiment: to prevent the electricity going to the ground when you touched the magic (charged) ball
Even more: the mic is tucked inside. Static has a tendency to jump for the nearest conductive surface. The screen is somewhat conductive (remember that it works by changing resistance, so it can't be a perfect insulator), the discharge would kill it more easily.
Bottom line: it's not technically impossible to fry the transistor/amplifier (not the mic itself - those are sturdy), but it's more likely that evil gremlins dismantled your device mid-shipping and replaced the mic with alien eggs

To resolve Ive tried the following without any luck:-

- Flashed standalone
- Flashed NSU
- Call recorder software does not pickup anything up
- Phone works with headphones
- Mute / unmute doesnt do anything

Annoyed or what. Any suggestions ? Thanks
Considering you're the second person replying to a post that is entitled 'N900 no mic audio' obviously their is another person who is having the same issue as yourself. Seriously dude, you might want to read the actual OP before asking 'does anyone else have this issue' when it is so blatantly obvious.

I think there was two threads that was merged and therefore two posts with simular content. What's the point of your post anyway?

Because he was asking if 'anyone else had the similar problem' when it was quite clear their was....

What's the point to your quote and reply anyway?
