anyone know how to fix a broken aerial?

My xda's aerial came off in my hand the other day, while I was removing the stylus. I thought I'd fixed it back on, but I can't get a phone signal now (I live in a good reception area).

Anybody know how to fix these? There only seems to be one loose part inside (a small spring).

Thanks in advance
Ian.

I managed to break mine also, can you send me a picture of what you found under the black plastic cap? the address is malara@celestica.com.

You should have a small conical spring attached to the circular brass post under the plastic aerial/stylus appatuture cover (thin end up!)

Rick,
Thanks, that's what I have - I was worried that something else had popped out. I'm now led to believe that the spring is the aerial? Hi-tech components.... :-)

A secondary question. As the black plastic cover has worked loose, I plan to super-glue it to the body. Anyone think this is a bad idea?

I had the same problem with mine and also lost the spring. A cut down spring from a biro worked quite well till I had a chance to get it repaired on warranty

SuperGlue seems the only way to
make sure it doesn't come off again.
