Hi guys

You could try the Science Museum. :rotfl::rotfl:

Seriously, as the handset is coming up to 10 years old in design, you may find a market trader or Ebay who can help, but I would think that, unless you know what you are doing, replacement might be best left in hands of a repairer.

Obviously the repair will probably be more than £10 and the phone is not worth much more, but if you have your contacts on the phone and not the sim, I can see why you want it repaired.

If not, then chuck it and get a new phone from CPW - they start at 1p plus £10 top up.

The Nokia 3410 is a pretty solid performer. If the battery isn't too old, you get a good 3 or 4 days use. Sound quality and reception capabilities are good too. My last phone was a Nokia 3410 and it lasted me about 6 years. I gave it to my mum 3 years ago and it's still working fine.

Is it worth spending £3.95 on a repair or £9.99 on a crappy new phone where you'll probably be forced to buy a SIM card you don't want, airtime you don't need, maybe port your number, etc...?

It could be possible there is other damage to the phone caused by dropping it; dont forget if you buy a few screen you may well need the tools to fix it, not to mention a steady hand to actually do the work. I personally would do what most have suggested, buy a new phone, and see if you can re-cycle the old one (albeit at a reduced price) and also ebay the orginal charger unit to off set the cost of a new handset.

Hope this help!
