Nokia N73 with cracked display...only took us 10 minutes to replace the...

Can you see the lines?

Our customer drop it while chasing his friends and this happened, the LCD screen didn't really crack all the way but part of it already causes bad damages. Some vertical lines on the side and the background turned pink.



He can't stand looking at the vertical lines and sissy background colour so came to us for solutions. We immediately replace the LCD screen with a new one and took us only 10 minutes. He is happy with the results but moody because he had to spend the whole month pocket money to replace it. RM150 to replace a new original nokia N73 LCD screen with 3 months warranty.

  • The moral of the story is make sure your gadget is always secured before you play or rushing for time. If not you have to pay the price...

Motorola V3i no display...so Planet Mobile change the...

Can you tell which is new and old?

Another flip phone victim, Motorola V3i. Customer said he changed it before around 9 months ago but not at Planet Mobile Tech Center and now happened again. We asked him how often he flip the phone and he answered "i have a bad habit, that is flipping my phone for no reason" so we adviced him to quit the bad habit or change a candy bar phone which is a stupid thing to do(actually we love this type of customer, easy money).



Planet Mobile Tech Center have replaced it perfectly fit, or else the keypad will jam...



Within 30 minutes the display is back and everything is working fine. The customer is happy with our work and paid rm70, we gave 3 months warranty.
  • The moral of the story is do not flip open the phone if there is no reason for it. Save the life span of the ribbon for longer usage.

Nokia 3120 on/off problem, our tech center manage to solve it by changing...



What happen here was the customer used it until the on/off rubber became soft and make a hole later on. So, the phone cannot on. Then he tried to use the pen to reach for the on/off switch to turn on the phone. Its legal to sodomise a gadget but luckily the switch only damage not the PCB board. We saw before even worse cases but don't wanna talk about it.



So our tech center replace the on/off rubber and the on/off switch with new ones.



TADA... the phone is back in working condition...thanks to Planet Mobile Tech Center. The customer only paid RM25 for the damage he made.
  • The moral of the story is try not to be over smart... the on/off rubber actually only cost rm10 but now he has to pay extra rm15 for what he has done.(Sodomise the phone).

Delete themes that cannot be found in app manager

Here is how:
You need to hook up your N95 to your PC via the USB and access the data transfer mode,and you need to make sure your file explorer can view hidden folders.
You'll find the theme filesin a folder named 'Private',in this folder are lots of other folders.Go to the folder named '10207114' and then eneter the folder inside called 'Import'
In here are all the themes on your sd card.
You have to open every folder and then look in the skn folder to find the name of the theme as the folders are named by numbers and not the theme itself,if the PC doesn't allow you to open the file then choose to open it with Notepad,then scroll across until you see the name of the theme and usually it'll say the creators name too.
Once you know it's the theme you want to delete then you have to delete the whole folder including including the mbm,mif,ini and skn folders.
