Fixed my N82
Few days back I accidentally dropped my beloved N82 on a wet floor, and I’m pretty sure some water already went inside. I was like “OMFG this can’t be happening!!!”
..
I’m still paying the installment for this phone mind you. Of course la I freaked out. Haha. It was bloody expensive when it first went out which cost me around 2.2k back then. Sure will burn a pretty big holes in anyone wallet (in my case its my credit card. haha).
Well anyway, after 10 minutes of freaking out trying to blow dry the internal part with my mum’s hair dryer, the phone turned on fine. But it shut down and turn back on for a few minutes. I turned if off and leave it there for about an hour.
Tried turning it on again, seems to work fine. Camera? Checked!, Music? Sweet and Clear!, Sms? Works okay.
But then when I try to make a call, my earpiece sound so bad, like cracking and distorted. I had to use the loudspeaker mode to make calls. I’m positive that the earpiece was broken somehow masuk air or something.Very inconvenience la if I wanna make call in public, don’t want to make call walkie-talkie style. Malu lah wei!
I’m actually thinking of sending this phone to the Nokia Service Center, but I’ve read somewhere that water damage was not covered by the warranty and yes the phone have an indicator to see if the internal part got contact with any sort of liquid. Shit now I can’t lie to them anymore since that indicator clearly shows my phone got contact with water. Stupid indicator!
Did some searching to see if I can D.I.Y this myself and found this!!
It says that you can try to suck and blow the earpiece to fix the problem and that’s exactly what I did. Haha.
I had to suck and blow the earpiece hole several times. I look so bloody stupid doing that but now the sound from the earpiece getting better. Maybe I’ll do some more sucking and blowing later since I’m at work now.
Sorry no photo coz usually I took photo with the phone but now the phone sick how ar?.. haha.
