> Dead T68i volume slider
Bookmark topic
Hi,
For no apparent reason yesterday, the volume slider on my T68i stopped working. It won't bring-up the Status screen in standby, nor will it change the volume in calls. I have not dropped the phone, or abused it in any way.
I tried doing a master reset, but that just resulted in me losing all my phone numbers, etc etc (not good!). Is there anything else I can do?
I'm really disappointed that my less-than-three-months-old phone has began to go wrong, and it's nothing that I have done!!
Cheers,
Matt

bring it to a servicepoint.... the volumeswitch has probably come loose from its solderings....

I always thought the volume slider on T68 phones were too small and felt cheap in comparison to the rest of the phone. I would have preferred two separate buttons myself. Oh well

I agree ~Tangy, never had any problems with the volume buttons on the 8210. Problems with everything else... but that's another story!
Does anyone know whether Radiophone in Norwich will be able to help me with this problem? Would I be expected to pay for the repairs -- how do I stand with regards my warranty?

I'm with you MDS -- having something wrong just niggles me!! Just got an e-mail from SE with details of whom I should send it to (Celestica).
Is there a way of altering the volume during calls (given that my slider is knackered!!)? Would be appreciated - getting deafened by the damn thing at the moment!
Many thanks,
--Matt

Less than 2 weeks after I got my phone, I noticed one day that my volume slider was gone! I was lucky though, the store where I bought it replaced it for free...

As fate would have it, the problem has struck again.
I was out with some friends today and had taken my phone out to use the GPRS. At any rate I left the phone in my lap and after we got to our location in the car, I stood up. The phone fell litarally about a foot, and when I picked it up, low and behold, the volume slider was gone. I couldn't believe it, I was just flabergasted, again the slider broke off. This time with such a tiny fall. I was steping out of the car directly on to the curb because my friend parked so close to it. Because of a physical disability I have I litarally need to turn completely out of the car and slowly lift myself up.
The phone otherwise doesn't have a scratch on it. I'm going to attempt to contact ericsson at this point, and find out if they will repair it. I was trying to be extra careful to avoid this and it happens a second time in as many weeks. I don't see how they can manufacture the product to break so easily. Maybe I should start carying it around in a gigantic foam case...
