Anyone know where to get spare parts for mobiles?
My partner has a Nokia 7373 and has just snapped the charger inside her phone, and there's no way of getting the bit out. To make it worse, I took the connector block out to try and push it from the other end (which didn't work anyway) and snapped the little metal pins.
So now I need to find a Nokia 7373 charging connector block which is proving quite difficult. Ebay has a few - but all for different phones. A site I've seen will fix these problems, but not actually sell the block, and I'm not paying £20 for something I could easily do myself, especially if I can get the block for about £2 like the others go for on ebay. I was thinking about a Carphone Warehouse repair centre, but would they even sell me the block or do they only do repairs? |

Have you tried a "Back street" unlocking shop?? You might get one that will sell you the part instead of losing a sale completely.

have a look on ebay sometimes faulty mobiles for example with smashed screens go for a bargain price.

Thanks for the link, but it's the same as the one on ebay really, none mention anything about the phone I have - the Nokia 7373

We did, and they said no. So we have to pay £45 to repair something that probably costs £2 and that I could do myself lol. I might just try one of them off ebay and chance my luck it will fit
