 Mucho Appreciated

Take your t68 apart and have a look. It certainly looks very difficult to replace. Some delicate soldering would be required.

It's a solder job I'm afraid! You could try cleaning around underneath the plastic joystick bit with a toothbrush, just in case it's actually some dirt, but I suspect it would be a case of removing the joystick from the PCB and soldering a new one on.

Or you could try eBay
Batterys are cheap there.. whats wrong with that fascia you got from the person here?
Mine was ok btw but I don't think it's the real mccoy, it's alot shinier than my old fascia tho it's a good replaca 
bit pisst after changing my housing cos myphone has loads of dust in the screen now typical after a facechange that

Cheese sent me the battery clip (thanks again, mate) but I fancy a total make-over. Do eBay pay you to plug them? LOL

Me, too. I'm sure you can guess my ID (clue: begins with "a" and ends with "bsinthebri").
