I have a k750 i got off a friend for spares, she spilt tea on it and now the joystick is a bit dodgy and keys 1 2 and 3 dont work, ive found that you can get a replacement keypad but i was wondering if anyone knew someone who could desolder the joystick and solder on a replacement one for me.

Thanks,

Ive managed to find a replacement joystick switch, but i dont have the knowledge or guts to desolder the broken one and solder this one on.

Does anyone know of anywhere whos good at soldering who could do it for me?

I changed the housing of my k750 to w800 and took the phone apart.
The joystick simply pulls off and is not soldered at all.

I dont mean the plastic nipple, i mean the actual joystick switch thats soldered onto the mainboard.
