The little blue thingy on my Gold T68 fell off the other day!!! I thought it would be simple to get repaired which it is but it is gonna cost me £30!!!!!

So i decided to try and do it myself.

Does anybody know where I can get hold of a replacement joystick. I searched on google but I didn't find ne in the UK.

Gettin a T6 Screwdriver isn't a problem.

Help much appreciated

Did the whole joystick come out ort just the cap. Same thing happened to mine, just the blue cap came off, I used a dab of super glue in the cap and placed it on the joystick. Worked like a charm.

Careful though, don't use too much glue or you'll glue the whole joystick shut.

Never mind about soccer or football who cares what the c**p game is called anyway the answer is to get a cheap dummy handset and carefully remove the blue bit of the joystick and affix it to your phone, they can be bought of ebay very cheaply for about a tenner.

The joystick bit is not that easy to remove. I tried to get one by stealing one from a dummy phone in a shop. Couldn't get the thing off. If you notice when you go into most phone shops their t68i's don't have joysticks. Don't know if this is because they just fall off or because people nick them. I coulnd't get it off! maybe that one had been superglued back on! he he
