if you could that would be great. see i want to open mine up cus its doing my head in big time, it feels like its jus getting worst every day, n the creaky plastiky navigation, end call and selection keys are starting to annoy me too, i know its quite petty but i paid £400 n for that it kinda hurts to see it apearing to be falling apart within two months. please if you do, then send me a walkthrough and help me out, cause i bought mine off ebay brand new n sealed but no way i can take it to get repaired i just dnt trust anyone besides myself after the stories ive heard bout wt customer care centres have done with peoples phones. so please, and thank you so much.

hmmm....but nokia will probably give u a new phone...your location being new london u shouldn't be having a problem with an exchange or repair...it is kinda difficult for us living in USA to get repairs but for u it should be easy...but still if you dont feel like doing it then you can always go to a local repair shop who can fix it up for some pounds and will do it almost instantly......don't u have this kind of setup there....btw i tried removing the back cover but stopped for obvious reason it should come off easily and then will let you have a look at the slider mechanism........i should still suggest before opening the phone let nokia take a look at it, what are warranties for???

I still would suggest taking it to a Nokia service center though Jogee.

i guess u guys are right. as long as they dont take it in the back, and they do it in front of me i dnt mind. il have to take a trip down next monday to my nearest one. but i dont wana sound like a U KNOW WHAT. ive also changed my product code, will they find out?

If anyone does happen to remove the back cover on any N95, other than the classic model, can you take some pics and post them please?

As there's still the 'wobbly-slider problem', I doubt that the slide-mechanism has been altered, so the same fix will probably work on the later models.

Na not a chance my friend...they shouldn't be looking at your software and also there is no way they should be connecting your device to nss to check product code for a slider and key fix.....

[psood21]

Ah you guys (spook and MR G.) still awake......god when do u guys sleep.......nocturnal you are....

[J0GEE]

thanks well if they remove the cover infront of me il try n snap some pics of the slider mechanism for you spook to clear that up. well, nokia care centre it is then. thanks guys for your help tonight, jus on final table in a poker tornament so im off to concentrate a lil more, take care guys,

[Mr G]

All the NSC's i've been to mate you don't get to see where the phone goes,never seen a technician in the flesh either.
