Phone repairs

penguinlegs

Don't know if this is the right place to ask for help but I have broken the power button off my Nokia 8310 when changing the cover (the actual connector on the phone unit, not the silver button on the cover) Anyone know if this would be repairable? How much etc? Only just got this forth hand from other family members after having a house brick for five years and not very technically minded. Thanks for any help.

it is repairable but if you add in postage costs etc sending it to someone who can do it then it's not worth it, try and find one on ebay for less money


you can get the bit for about £4

needs a soldering iron and a T6 screwdriver (about £2 from ebay )
