Hey,

After attempting to fit a new case on the Nokia N70, it looks great but the power switch fell out, it just sort of sits there under the case, and when I put it back in it just didn't work again.

I can press the button as much as a like, sometimes it works if its in the correct position, but then it falls out of there again, the only consistent way is with the case off touch the front of the switch with a piece of metal and it works fine (like the tool to remove the case).

Obviously that's not a solution for powering the phone on / off.

I've spent a few hours on it and searched the net, but does anyone know a good phone repairer?

Anyone?

I would look around near work (Burnley area) but I'm looking to not get ripped off (too badly :laugh:).

Regards,

Gareth

A lot of those mobile repair dudes you see in shopping centres will make a snack of that. I had a similar problem with my N70..for some reason the on/off button stopped working. I always had it on so it didnt bother me.But when i flew to QLD and had to switch it off when boarding. ( battery out ) Well the phone was useless up their. Took it to one of those phone repair dudes. He replaced the switch in under half an hour for less than $75 ...I was happy...never had problems since

I assume you mean the surface mount swith? It's come off the board yeah? I've fixed about 3-4 of them now including my current phone, Nokia's are piss poor when it comes to this. I could fix it provided the board isn't damaged :miner:

Kinds looks like this but a little different -

Looks quite different to me, here are the dismantling instructions:

But they don't actually show the power button, just it been removed with tweesers.

Its a little square thing with a button and two wires each side:

With a minute button on top that can be pressed with something extremely tiny, its probably less than 1cm across and 1cm down.

I'll have to find a shopping center, or one of those random 'we repair mobile phones' signs and call them on the weekend. Just need to track them down.

Mate, if you're in the Burnley area then head to Church St, where maccas is. Next to it there is a B shop, he is a repairer there, ask for Ken. Will look after you...

Another place to try for cheap repair is Victoria st, there's like 10000 mobile phone shops there.

Hey,

I'm in Burnley near the Yarra, I'll look for this place on Church street then. Thanks.

Not quite sure where the Maccas on Church street is though....EDIT: seems to be a bit past Bridge road heading towards Victoria street.

Oh and was that a "3" shop rather than a "B" shop? What's a B shop?

Yeah that's the switch I'm talking about, just couldn't find a pic of one, anyhoo yeah I can fix but all good :D

Ah damn, I could have waited and probably saved a few $$$, I dropped off the phone and was told to come back in 40mins-1hour and it cost $65 to get a new switch in.

All good now, last time I ever remove the top of the case lol.

Thanks anyway.

Where did you get it repaired in the end?

Sorry, it was by "Chang" at the B shop next to McDonald's, it did take a while to get there and back but I'm just glad its fixed, it was driving me insane having a brand new phone I couldn't turn on and off :P

Thanks

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
