    where to get nokia fixed?

    I dropped a Nokia 6300 and although the phone still works and loudspeaker still works the small speaker doesn't. I bought a replacement speaker online and fitted it but this didn't fix it. I've asked in a couple of places locally but nobody wants to look at it. carphonewarehouse will fix a fault for a standard £45 but you can buy a new pay as you go 6300 for 80 quid.
    Anybody know somewhere I could send it to be looked at?
    cheers

    to be honest these days it costs more to repair than replace...they are built as throw away devices.

    If it is a contract phone and you are close to the end of the contract you could sniff about for an upgrade in return for a re-contract?

      You could try these >>>>http://www.bettercompanyplan.co.uk/shop/
      Authorised Nokia Repair centre, give them a ring see what they can do.
      They have done good work for me in the past unlocking & screen replacements ect.
      I'm sure you could find someone local to you though.
      As David said above probably cheeper to buy new.

        David - I actually got a replacemnt under insurence but they never took this away. it's not essential. Just that this missus would like to use it and I really don't want to chuck it when there might only be a small issue (to the right person)

          cheers mate. i'll give them a bell and see if they reckon it's worth fixing or if I should just keep the battery and bin the rest.

            No problem, you've tried all the obvious one's like battery seated correctly, terminals not broken is there power getting to the display.?
            If you tried to replace the speaker then i reckon you have, if all else fails put it in a vice and see how tight you can get it.
