I did just like you did, not with the scissor...of course, i used two screwdrivers ( flat type 1,8mm and 2,4mm ) and it works!!
no scratch, no trace, no trouble...just an improved joystick!!

thanks for the tips man! works for me.

does this also works for K810????

i've seen a thread like this at SE-NSE but it stated there that it only works for K800..

anyone tried this tutorial with a K810??

I tried it and it worked, but I agree it's a little risky.
It sucks when the joystick doesn't work properly, but thanks to this guide, it's working great now.
Thank you.

Thanks for conzepth! My joystick works like a charm again.

Only problem I have now is that I just bought a C905 to replace the K800 because of the worn joystick, which is working like new again .

Thanks!

Just the tutorial I was looking for.

Works perfectly - my joystick was taking upto 20 attempts to move to the right in a menu but after following this tutorial it works 100% of the time! Thanks very much!!!

I had been thinking of getting a new phone but now i'll be keeping this until something more permanent goes wrong.

Thanks again!

It worked for me, my K800 is a beautiful phone and I couldn't bear to replace her just because the joystick kept sticking... my own stupid fault for playing too many stupid games...

Thank you so much, it took all me all of 5 minutes to fix and the joystick is much more accurate when running the keyboard test (95% vs 50%)

Is the K800 the successor to the K750?
