Make sure the contact between the PCB and the antenna is making OK.

Kevin

That's what I thought this evening when I took it apart again, but ....... wtf is the antenna?  :-/  :-/  :-/
I've 'tightened' all sprung connection that I could see, maybe I need more switch cleaner ......  ;D  ;D  ;D

You can get spares on Amazon, but tbh, think its time to splash the cash on a new one phone!

i know somebody who dropped an n95 8gb down the carzie! Got it out, removed the battery immediately. Thoroughly rinsed it under the tap, left it to dry, new battery as the old one swelled up like a balloon, phone still working fine now over a year later! Maybe they dont like switch cleaner or taking apart?

And would think it should be repairable. They are fairly robust. Bad refit i recon?  ;)

Normally, as long as you get the power off immediately, so connections don't corrode, it'll be OK.

Pop all the covers of-stick it in  a sealed plastic bag with some silica gel (little bags of crystals you get with electrical equipment) and leave it for a couple of days.  Make sure the crystals are dry first,pop them in a warm oven for a few minutes.
