Slider Fix

Hi

Anyone know how to get ahold of the manual for taking the N85 apart.

I know there was one for the N95...

I want to fix the slider so bad, its the only thing that is hacking me off.

its seems to be only the right hand side of the slider that is loose. I think the spring is on the left that is why it is stronger

or does anyone know if someone is working on a fix?


Thanks in advance :)

WOW nice manual

Well checking out that manual i don't think the slider is going to be fixed anytime soon

Seems you might have to take the whole phone apart to get to the screen.

I really hope a tech guy works this out for us sooooon.

Anyone know of anyone who can help us????

You only need to remove the front case and screen. And rear casing.

I've not been daring enough to do it yet..

Its look really hard and risky

Cool -=| BREAKING NEWS!!! |=- Yay Fixed my Slider!!!!!!!!!

Please do at your own risk!!!!!

Well after using my brain for awhile and thinking of ways to fix the slider. cos it was REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES!!!!

I have done it to a point where it feels pretty perfect.

When closed it still has alittle bit of play,

but what was really getting to me was when i have opened the phone it would play heaps!!!!

Its so easy its not funny all i did was take one felt spot. those things you put on the bottom of things to not scratch tables. I cut 4 bits into tiny pieces and poked them into all four corners of the slider and done.

I think you will now enjoy a none wobbly slider now, apart from when the slider is closed theres is still alittle play but it does not click

I love the N85 now all they have to do is change product code, get a update so i can enable the FM Trans and this phone is the best i have ever had.

batt is great, screen is great, ram is great, GPS is great, I must say that this is a huge upgrade from the N95-1 apart from the speaker volume which i think should be louder as it is not as loud as my N95, Hope that can be fixed in a firmware upgrade.

Also the camera can do with some improvements, Just hope nokia are working day and night to make this the super phone it seems to be

and yes i did see my phone reboot itself when doing nothing,
but reloaded and was fine

There is my 2 cents hope people try this and are as happy as i am.

But who know if the slider fix will last, will have to wait and see.

will keep you posted

:c heer2:
