Replacement parts?

**Quest** · 19-08-08, 01:39 PM

Ive got a real stumper for you.

Ive got a samsung SGH-a411 mobile and my little bro left it out in the rain overnight so its soaked.

It turns on but the buttons are all weird - we have tried to get samsung to fix it under warenty but no dice because its water damage and its not covered.

We cant afford a new phone so im hoping to repair it - im looking for replacement parts - if anyone has any ideas about where I might look i would be greatful.

Thanks

ebay is worth a try for parts or maybe a cheap replacement

Mmm, I thought of that but no joy - only a couple of products and not what I need. But thanks for the suggestion

I have a used A411(phone only) that i could sell you, $60 including reg post.

It's in A1 working cond but does shows general wear & tear.

Let me know if your interested!

OKay I finally got the dud mobile today - I opened it and wow the corrosion - I got it all off with pure alcohol and now the keypad works fine.

But i think ive created a problem - now there is no sound. I cant play video, or audio files - well they play but there is no sound.

Any ideas?

Is there sound when you make a call?
Maybe the speaker is not making contact properly, the board may need a scrape where the speaker contacts.
