Comments on: Repairing my Nokia N80 – Part 1 http://asifhamza.com/2008/04/n80-repair-part-1/ Mis-adventures of a tinkerer Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:18:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jason http://asifhamza.com/2008/04/n80-repair-part-1/comment-page-1/#comment-3636 Jason Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:12:25 +0000 http://asifhamza.wordpress.com/2007/10/29/n80-repair-part-1/#comment-3636 Thank you so much for posting this information – found it very useful. I know this is fairly an old post but it is still relevant and cost me a fraction of what Nokia Care centre quoted ($200 AUD) to get it fixed. I could not believe the problem was so simple to fix. I’ve bought this phone in 2007 and still happy to have it. :-) I’ve got the Flex cable online and Torx screwdriver was from Jaycar in Australia.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I bought two, each for R25. Still, R100 is nothing compared to what would have been charged had I taken it to a repair centre. Thanks!

Johannesburg in fact. The cable was R10 at that time but 6 months later it was selling for R25. Probably due to an increase in broken N80's. I bought mine from a shop in the Oriental Plaza but I've seen it sold in the flea markets as well. Some people have reported issues with the quality of these cables but the one I bought has had no issues. Yes I am. Johannesburg in fact.

Are you from South Africa? I see you said the ribbon cable was only R10, where did you find it? Any help would be much appreciated as I can fix it myself with the help of your guide! Thanks!
