My slider has become so loose that when i slide it to expose the keyboard,there is a substantial gap on the right hand side. If I turn it on the side I can see a gap right through to the base section (if that makes sense). I'm not too sure what it is that needs tightening, if anything, or if this is going to be a case of replacing a part or something. Does anyone have any ideas????


Cheers

hi, i am having the exact same problem, i can see a gap at the top right corner.

just curious georgefjones did you get yours in carephone warehouse uk?

anyone has the same problem? any known solution?

that gap is pxxxing me off =(

any help is much appreciated

Yeah mine is in the right hand corner, and yes i did get it in carphonewarehouse uk. I've had it appart and everything and couldn't see anything that was loose or needed tightening.
I think it's a flaw in the build to be honest, which is pretty poor for such a 'high end' device.

same thought mate. actually this is my 4th device, i exchanged it 3 times within the 28 days return thing.

I heard experiences of a few friends having bad times with carephone warehouse phones, donno if they are just odd cases but the quality control of nokia is disappointing.

i doubt its a design flaw, i dont see many people having the same problem. as far as i can remember, you are the first one apart from me.

i dont have the guts to open this thing up LOL but thanks for informing me that nothing is loose inside so i can put that thought aside.

This is a well known issue and discussed at length: see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38962 and the therein mentioned links to instructive videos on how to remedy this problem.

hi, thanks for the link, actaully i have read it before and watched the video before as well, but im not too sure about opening it up...put it another way...im scared of breaking a 500pounds device especially when nokia uk takes forever to get things fixed...

maybe i just have to live with it until it gets to apoint where the slider falls apart from the base, and then i will have no choice but to send it back..

no trying to be a dxck, but the gap is really pissing me off...is taking it apart the only way to 'TRY' and solve the problem?

Besides that you can visually see it and keyboard comes bit more easily out what are the other disadvantages here?

well, since the right side of the screen is further up than the left, the screen is now unparalleled with the base.

in other words when you hold up the device and type, the screen is tilted.
