Good place to get a Sony Xperia T checked/repaired?

    I have the above phone for just over 18 months. Got it on billpay from Meteor and just ported my number away from Meteor the week before last. Never had any problems with the phone, bar when it upgraded to 4.3. That didn't work out and I went back to 4.1.2 I think. Phone was unlocked by Meteor several months ago. Phone has never been dropped and is like new.

    Last week I notice that my phone is no longer making any sound. I can still make and receive calls on it okay, but there's no noise when it rings, when an alarm goes off or when media play. All settings that I can see seem okay. Plugging in earphones without changing anything else means that I hear sound again.

    This is likely a hardware problem, right? Any recommendations on where I could take it on the north side of Dublin for an honest assessment? Any notion on how much a fault like this could cost to repair?

    One more thing to note; I use this phone for work and personal matters, so I'd rather not be without it for a long period. I've never had to get a phone repaired since 1998/1999, so I don't know if anyone does repairs in house. This issue is a pain, but I could probably live with it until next year and then replace if I had to.

    I could. Are the recommended by folks on here?

    I have no objections to going slightly out of my way if there's a reputable phone mender at the destination.

    there is a place in ballymount i think, that repair phones. its who emobile use and i am pretty sure other providers do as well. it could be citywest or around there. I dont know the name of it but it costs around 80 euro to get fixed depending on the actual problem with it. I have no idea how long it takes. might drop the mods a pm if you dont get a reply

    I had the same xperia issue. The phones earphone connection is loose.

    Play a video and put the headphones in and out a few times and it will read that they are out

    I've been doing that, but the phone hasn't fallen for it yet.

    Phone started making noise again on Thursday afternoon. I'll see how long it lasts. Thanks for the input folks.
