Very Faint earpiece volume - fix, inaurance claim or repair shop?

keith_d99 · 2010-12-05 18:22:39

Hi all, My young lad - spilt coke on my phone - result is I can barely hear through earpiece. Wondering if anybody else has had this problem? Any ideas for fixing? Done the restore/hair dryer/rice bag - no change. Since the excess on the insurance is €65 (and going without for a while) - wondering if it might be better…

Hi all,

My young lad - spilt coke on my phone - result is I can barely hear through earpiece.

Wondering if anybody else has had this problem? Any ideas for fixing?
Done the restore/hair dryer/rice bag - no change.

Since the excess on the insurance is €65 (and going without for a while) - wondering if it might be better bringing to a repair shop.

Thanks in advance!

i'd say any repair shop job will void the warranty
