Hey guys
My P1i external speaker finally died. I called tech support and my phone is apparently out of the 1 year warranty period. It costs $180 flat fee to repair, and I don't have that much right now. Does anyone know how to open up the phone and fix the speaker? That seems to be my only choice. I opened up just the back cover once and i know for certain that you can't access the speaker contacts from there. You have to open up the front. BUT, if I open up the front and remove the LCD, is it easy to access the speaker connectors or is there more involved? if anyone has done this, pls post. Thanks

same thing happened to me a week ago , my p1 was 15 months old the speaker was covered by the warranty all se phones have a 2 year warranty providing that after the first year the phone is not under bad condition.

@701, didn't u read my post? I said I couldn't afford the cost of repair.
and @ Mathios,
I too remember reading posts that said the phones have a two year warranty, but when I asked the rep, she said it only had one year. that's just ridiculous, so now which is true? is there any proof that i can show and claim the two year warranty? I am going to check my p1i box/manual and see if it mentions anything.

I just checked the manual, and I only saw a 1 year warranty mentioned. So I don't know how people have been getting their phones fixed under a 2 year warranty.
heartbreaking....
