Phone Repair

Over the last 2.5 months my phone has undergone some serious stress in terms of water, sand and dust. The keyboard had become so intermitent, that only a few buttons were working. It became obvious that either grains of sand or corrosion were effecting the keyboard's electric membrane. The solution - take it apart - clean it and put it back together.

I did this, obviously voiding warranty of this cheap Telstra branded phone, but it is now good as gold - or at least tarnished brass. One of the pesky side buttons would not go in, so I just covered it in sticky tape - I made it stronger. It is such a crap mobile. Simple things like storing a person's address can't be done. And the GPS feature will not work without being connected to the internet.
