@jojo - you're too kind!!
@Gelfen - is that nature lover or naturist? hehe!
As you're an engineer btw - I've just got a Nokia 6610 to restore with some keys that don't work, it looks like the connector on the PCB has lost a tiny pin that connects to the screen - any ideas on how to fix it? I've been trying unsucessfully to insert some tinfoil into the tiny tiny gap where the pin was - have you any suggestions on how to fix this?

i'm a chemical/process engineer, not electrical. however, i would guess that a small amount of solder *might* work if the connection is meant to be permanent (and you feel like taking advice from an amateur
)

@gelfen: Oops, wrong type of engineer. Thanks for your help anyway!
I'd better get me a soldering iron!
Mind you, I don't trust myself with one of those things, will melt the entire phone knowing me!!

@gelfen - You being a 'nature lover'? Well I just based it on one of your posts, which has the word 'nature' and 'universe' . . . hmmm maybe you work for NASA too? Chemical engineer, is my Dad too, he worked for our country's #1 Pharmaceutical Co. for 34 loong years, are you in a way 'inclined' with that 'nature' as well? What does a 'process engineer' do, if I may ask of you my friend?
@sammy-boy - Your wish is my command(o) ! My apologies if the trash collected today is not as cavernous as you might have expected . . . (teheheheh)

a process engineer and a chemical engineer are more or less the same thing, but the job title varies depending on the country and/or industry you are in. i work for an engineering design and contracting company in Australia. we mainly work on the design and construction for the oil and gas industry, and several general and specialty chemical industries.

well, there's an aussie engineering company who has partnered with a US firm to start rebuilding in Iraq (bridges, oil refineries, and so forth) but they can't get anyone to go - even with 125% uplift i.e. current salary x 2.25. coupled with the other recent terrorist incidents in that region, it's a might too dangerous over there just now.
