Hi. My Nokia 8210 screen keeps getting garbled, and I can't comprehend a thing. It only happens when pressure (not much) is applied above the screen, and continues until I take off the cover. I took it apart and found heaps of fine dust inside the phone (my fault) which I thought might be disrupting connections. I cleaned it out and It was fine, for one day. Now it still happens, but less frequently than before.

Does anyone know what is going on? They want to charge me a couple hundred bucks to fix it.

Hi there,
This is a problem with Nokias at the moment, a friend of mine had the same problem, he took it back to the phone shop he bought it from and there was a waiting list for parts. They'll fix it for you. It needs a new screen or something like that. I have a 8210 and it hasn't happened yet, my fingers are crossed.

Same thing exactly with mine, and also with a collegues. the woman on the end of the phone seemed to know all about the problem, indicating a common fault.

The Deal is, I bought the phone second hand.
i.e. no warranty.

Nokia phones have always been like that, they don't seem to build the phones to last. I use to have a Nokia 6110, the phone use to turn itself off, and the screen use to show a black line accross it every so often. It wasn't just my phone, a lot of people with the 6110 had the same problem.

Since then i've stuck with Ericsson or Motorola, but when that new Nokia 8310 comes out, i think i'll get that.
