guys and gals in da house please i need ur help once again on my nokia 6260.my soft keys (key pads, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,*,#,green and red are ok) each time i try to exit, it shows delete and when i click on options it goes to menu, though it works well some time. please what do i do cos i tried formatting bt d problem is still there.

I know watz wrong with it and am very sure,  If u unscrew the upper part,i mean the screen compartment,u going to see anothe screwed white plastic,it looks like panel and that is where the keypads(direction,mark,select,clear,exit and options) are,u going to see a small panel after unsrewing the white plastic,simply unplug the panel,  be careful o! unplug it from the flex because the flex is under the panel and there is a socket on it,once u unplug the panel with the socket,your flex is gone and thats 500naira to get another one but uwont see original,only if they will remuv it frm anothe new phone, unplug the panel from the flex gently,after removing it,check the underneath of the panel,where there is a small plus,its somehow plated,use a screwdriver to scratch it a little,do it round then fix it back,  Goodluck!

i'm suspecting tht small stuff attached to the flex, like a switch, its actually that thing that lets the phone know if u've folded the phone or if u've flipped it. anyhow sha just be careful with that flex, first dey i opened my 6260 i cut the flex, and man to fix that flex no be beans, cUz of the twist thing. just be careful

engineers. . . flex is dangerous,

follow sisqo's instruction & heed Dual Core's advice
or better still give it to the nearest "capable hands" to do it for u . . . If u chose to do it yaself, 1st go buy a substitute flex(just in case)

Ican change the flex,i changed mine up to 7times simply because i ddnt get the original flex, u cant simply get d original flex! Eventho u giv an engineer,they will charge u nutin less than 2k5,the 1st time i changed my own flex,the engineer collected 3k5, it got damaged about 3wks time,i opened myself and went for another flex,heard it was 500naira, jeez,was so angry,so i changed it,when changn it,i spoilt it, i went for another one again b4 i cld do it well, after that,i changd it up to 8times simply because they are all fake,if the power button dsnt get damage,speaker wil stop workin or those directional keys, So wot do u wana do?

man, u need a capable hand.
Drag, is jst around d corner.

sisqology, 7 times within what time interval?? I knw there's hardly the 'original' flex out there,but there are those that culd still take you for at least two months or even more(if u take the neccessary cautions) which I doubt u did ,
hayprof, .huh.??
ma' hands 're tied

@dragnet,if its about the real flex,it lasts up to 2months,but most of mine was just unlucky as per the power key, 2small pins are holding the power on the flex and whenever u fold the flex into its container,u will need to bend that part too,the original flex has something underneath that power point,its something like a strong paper which the fake doesnt has,it protects that part of the flex and make it stronger,but fake flex, grrrr!!! During my own time,most of the flex had power prob

jst ignore d power key.
is it a must u put dat phn on 0ff?

jst ignore d power key.

nigga is u nutz?


erm, only changed flex once and by myself, but can't remember how many times i had to rip the phone apart to get the hinge to work well, u know when ya flip the phone, u should hear those click click sounds along the way. but if the hinge ain't right, ya ain't hearing no click clicks, fact is, the phone ain't flipping right no more until ya fix the hinge right.

@y'all

Sorry to breeze in.

Please, I need help with my nokia 6230i. The keypads began misbehaving i guess as a result of playing games for so long on it. I press key 1, what i see on the screen is 'menu', i press zero, i see delete.

I opened the casing and i mistakingly peeled off that white 'nylon' seal on the phone board and also removed all the 'silver little dots' on the white nylon.

Anyone knows its possible to replace the white seal and if i can do it myself?

The phone still comes on-just that the keypads are totally useless.

Thanks.

if u close to d village, its a better place to restore ur phn's keypads, frm wat i can see.
i can post u a contact, bt later.

I'd hav told u her wht to do. . . . .If only she was a boy it culda been easier
those little silver discs & nt 'silver little dots' are ur keypad connectors . . . . . . . .uhm . . . .uhm take it to the nearest 'capable hands'

@ dragnet and hayprof

Thanks. I really hate dealing with phone repairers. They always seem to spoil something else on the phone in the process of fixing the initial fault.

Dragnet, please tell me what to do. Dont underestimate my technical skills because i be woman oh!

@funkybabe, forget about the phone,throw it into the nearest dustbin becos if u give any engineer,they will just sold lead on the panel and it wont work well still,

Prof,is it possible 4u not to put ur fone on and off?

@sisquo & d house, thanks for ur replies, i actually did what u said around 2.58 am 2day, and till now my phone is working perfectly well.

thanks once again bro.

sisqology, . . . .wrong assumption
wuld anybody just put lead anywhere on the pcb without any reason??
funky, . . .brb

@sisq, i am always online mobily, so d on / off option on my phne is of no essence @ this time.

@prof, Remember u are in nigeria,do u wana tell me u've never had problem with phcn before that is gonna make ur fone go off?

@dragnet, no,u will aw to put it on where the keypad is goona be, It wont work well,take it or take it


@thread poster, u are welcome

sisqology, the fact that u might 've had a 'tragic phone' event doesnt mean thats the way its gona be througout. . . . . .and hey putting lead on the keypad interface?? Hu did dat??

Fbby, I believe those 'little dots'(it made me laugh when she called 'em dt way) dnt exist again abi?? .bt u still got that sticky white covering??

And if I must add. . . . .the situation of ur phone is not so serious (even ma' sis wuld fix it) bt it depends on wht u got. . . .just ans the questns I earlier asked . . . . One more thing . .after removing the white seal, I'm quite sure u can see gold-like perimeters with circles in them?? Those are d keypad interfaces. . . .the 'little dots' are what conects d perimeter wit d circle whenevr u depress a key thereby . . .bla bla bla
so the question is. . . .are all the gold-like perimetrs n circles still plain n shiny?? Do u notice any kind of moisture,oxidatn or rust on their surfaces??

funkybabe

get this thing replaced at the villa.

or better still i could fix it for u over dinner.
but note, i will not take responsibilities for all ma actions if if if if if if if if if if if if . . .

@dragnet, but she said the gold plated circle ie the keypad is gone,

If nd wot if?
@sisq: i gat backup.

@dragnet
Yeah,the gold like circles are still kinda plain in comparism with the surrounding area.

All the sticky silver dots on the white paper are all gone.

I have uploaded pictures of the phone so that you can have a better understanding of the 'project' at hand, lol, Thanks.
