Hi guys and girls!
This is how it happend..
yesterday i went to a vodafone shop to order a new casing for my t610, but the lady that works there said to me that they could not get me one, and she gave me a whole t610 that she said didnt work (she said it got wet and wouldnt turn on), so that i could dismount it and fit the casing myself.
when i got home i flashed/debranded it, and then decided to test it, and to my suprise it worked perfectly, except for one thing. The problem is that when i make a phone call, the earpiece/speaker makes no sound at all!, although it works fine to play midis and .amr files.
(((note: this morning i went back to the shop and told her that the phone kind of works, dont anyone think that i have stolen/tricked an innocent shop attentent)))
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me:
A)how to fix it
b) what parts would i need
c)where to buy one of those special screwdrivers that i believe are called T6 or torx6??
and in general would it be worth the money/hassle, seeing as i will have to buy a battery for it.
thanx in advance!

Sounds like all it needs is a new speaker, or even the phone taking apart and the insides given a good clean with a soft brush, and a toothbrush. Some alcohol wips (something like isopropyl alcohol) may also be helpful.
Try Ebay for spare parts, or even buy (another!) phone for spares.

the ebay user china_store has a bunch (i mean a BUNCH) of spare parts.
he might have an extra speaker part (all you have to do is pull the old speaker off and stick on a new one, no soldering or anything)
you'll see what i mean once you open up your phone

And the screwdrivers you can buy in any good hardware store.

You can't buy T6 torx screwdrivers at hardware stores, as they are too small and not sold there. You must get them from a supplier or from eBay. As for your earphone problem, all there people are wrong. Take it from me (as I've flashed and unlocked and unbranded many phones in my day), you need to flash the phone with the acoustics pack for your phone. This is the problem, as if it plays your ringers fine, them you don't need to replace the speaker.

@rdnymllnsktr: thanks for the idea, but as soon as i saw your reply i looked there but i couldnt find it...
What kind of file is it?
What is the official name of the file that i need?
....
Sorry if im asking to much...could post a link for it?
@MissUk: thanks for justifying the fact that in my first post i wrote "hi guys and girls". I know there are very few girls on here so its an honor to have you reply

why not try just turning it into a t630?
its about 80 bucks more and it practically becomes a brand-new phone!
(again, ebay seller china_store sells conversion kits for 30 USD and tft screens for 50 USD)

ok...
I managed to find the acustics file...but no luck!
i tryed the process with 2 diferent packs, but it still doesnt work.
I will try doing a complete "flash/acustics/Imei change/etc" change, and see if it works then.
I dont really want to spend to much money on it because i am probably going to give it to someone, so the most i am going to spend is the price of a new battery, and any other small parts. If the speaker is broken, i will just forget it. No money lost.
thanks for everyones help

@folling-btw your sig is very disturbing!
oh and did you remember to uncheck write-only? Maybe that's why?
