I think Edna might mean the standby screen, I think there is an option for turning the clock back on, settings, display, sleep mode clock, I think!

Before doing anything drastic, use SEUS to update the firmware and before wading in and relacing the joystick, dismantle the phone and spray the joystick with contact cleaner.

Always remember 'kill by software - revive by software'

and 9 out of 10 hardware problems can be fixed without SMD reworking!

Now the joy stick problem.. Is it a difficult job taking the phone apart? I had a k800i before with the same problem and someone sugested putting something down the side of the joy stick to lift it off it's seat and then reseat it.. I tried and ended up putting a small watch makers screwdriver through the circuit board and killing the phone..:o

i would say SE phones are the easiest to take apart (dont get me started on samsungs)

i dont have any experience of replacing joysticks

The phones are a little problematic, but good overall. Mine has a software fault where the camera buton wont work. It needs a power off adn the battery removed to resolve but then dies again in time.

Annoying, but still a good phone overall

K800i's have issues with the joysticks... other than that they're a great phone. If you're confident you can open it up and clean the contacts and put a spot of glue between the pad and the joystick, although not recommended if you've never done this before.

Best bet would be to contact your mobile operator - they will usually help with repairs.
