780902 2009-06-09 10:43:00 Can anyone recommend a place that can fix a Nokia cellphone?

Nokia in Kyber Pass Rd refuse to have anything to do with it as it is a Hong Kong phone. They would not even take a look at it.

Phone is a Nokia 5610 XpressMusic which has a virus and will not stay turned on.

Also I would like the faceplate changed. It is quite a complex phone being a slider model so changing it is no easy task.

try to search on ipmart forum and google to see if they can guide you how to flash the phone. This is NZ so I don't think they fix phones like in Asia, everything is expensive here. You could try to ask in geekzone (forums of tecs) to see if they can help you. Good luck

I have sent you a friend request, wanted to ask if you still have the viewsonic vx2235wm and want to upgrade. I am after one and they are obsolete now so I was looking at 2nd hand but can't be bothered waiting for trademe to list one so thought i would be proactive, you could put the money towards an HDMI HD version or the Philips you should have brought first time around.

Let me know if you are interested

It's right across from the enterence. Seem to be decent. But they'll charge 30$ just to check it... Which they don't do on site...

Out of curiosity, how do you know it has a virus?

It coughs a lot and thinks it is dying. ;)

That is an interesting comment. Due to our high wages (sic, dur) it is not economic to fix anything electronic here in NZ.

The poster implies that in Asia it is possible to get mobile phones repaired for a reasonable price.

That sucks - tell them it is still a Nokia - you may not have bought it from them, you may have bought it from Nokia in Serbia ! A global company like that should stand by their products .
