After taking off & putting back on the cover of my t68, the volume control button doesnt work properly! When I slide it down, it stays down & when I slide it back up, it stays up!!!

I need help please,,

try to remove the button, just take something sharp and bend carefully... when you look on the underside of it, and on the whole where it is, you'll understand how it's gonna be placed..

hmmm.... perhaps the volume switch has come loose... this is quite common for the T68.... just make sure there is no signs that you have opened it and then leave it to a servicepoint....

just took it there & they replaced it!! got one that is made in Sweden rather than my old Malaysian one.

Does this happen everytime I take the cover off?

replace it? must be a lazy service point they get more money from if they had fixed the old one rather than replace it with a swap unit...

indeed they are lazy!! they'll probably fix it and then reset everything then sell it saying its brand new knowing them!!!

Do you think that the button will mess up next time i take the cover off?

cheers

just be careful if you open it... seems like the solder for the volume switch isn't that good on any T68, so it come loose very easily....
