Of the members here who own a nokia 8210, how much did it cost you to get the screen fixed? if you had to pay for it? Cheers fellas

mines been f***ed for over year, im just used to holding it when i use it :)

If someone knows a cheap place to get it fixed, id also like to know.

some people say that sticking a little peice of paper in the side works, but i supposeit would be better to get it fixed

how does sticking a piece of paper into a phone fix the screen??? thats some amazing work macguivre

one of my mates did it right in front of me and it worked, i cant remember how to though, if i find out here i shall post it, but does anyone know a good cheap place to correct this fault?

try E&E in the city they repair phones i think

warranty?? or that shop in the city as supreme said.

Heh, i just makeshift fixed mine with some folded paper :P

why i didnt think of that a year ago beats me :) (i had a rubber band around it at one stage, but it broke), this seems to be a little more permanant, and hey, its free.

my 8250 screen cost $17 to get fixed @ E&E - and they fixed it again for free nearly 4 months later - since then hasnt stuffed up again.

if its the plastic clip thingo it's like $17 if it the actual screen it is like $50

but wasnt the problem with the 8210's the actual clip?

it's usually the clip i am lead to believe

a mate is selling his cuz his screen is bung and i was just seeing if it's worth buying the fone off him for cheap (and also to get rid of 3310) and paying for the screen to be fixed

Yes.

In other news, Dan sux :P

8210 was known for that screen problem, i had one about a year and a half ago and yes, the paper worked well for about 4 months, then I disowned it for a 8210

$13 at e&e in the city :P

There's a place here in Melbourne that will do it for free - ask wherever you got it (Optus, Telstra, whoever) and maybe they can point you to a similar place.

However, I haven't taken mine in yet - to fix it you need to put pressure on the top of the screen and it will continue to accept clock pulses.

An easy fix, which is what I've done with mine for the time being - take a peice of paper, fold it so it's about mm, 8 sheets thick? Fold and place it so it fits between the speaker and the top of the screen.
Put the cover back on, and it should be bulging a tiny bit... but at least the screen works :)

Kornish i dont no what E & E u wne to but i got the screen fixed in my 8210 about 3 mths ago cause it died and it cost $50.00 not 13 yah JACKASS

well, if u read the above posts, u would know that it's $13 if it's the clip, $50 if it's the screen.

jackass :P

I dropped mine in there a few months back and they did it under warranty. If you go to the Nokia place in the city they will definitely be able to tell you whether the warranty will cover it or not, and they are FAST - I got mine back in under 4 hours. Plus it's worked perfect since, so they do it right first time. :D

nokia care are a bunch of slack c***s, f***ed me around for ages with my 3310, i f***ing hate them

the reason this magic piece of paper works, is the contacts that nokia designed in their infinite wisdom purely rely on contact, and the springiness of the pcm material/plastic and the contact point to maintain the before mentioned contact to keep the circuit going. All it takes is a hard bump to make sure that these circuits dont complete, and they come apart.

Jamming the piece of paper in there ensures that these little st00pid contact pieces actually touch each other.
