i got mad and i punched my cingular 8125 and i need help.

[theorist]

hiya. i have a small problem. i got really mad and slammed my fist down on my cingular 8125.

when i hit it, the battery cover flew off but that's about it. i checked meticulously and i don't see any damage whatsoever, almost brand new, not dents...

but the STYLUS comes out a lot easier now then it did before. does anyone know what could have happened? what is the thing that latches the stylus inside the phone in the first place?

thanks a million!

Stylus gets loose like that normally anyhow. There is a small plastic catch inside near the top of the wizard (see the groove on the end of the stylus that it clicks onto) that becomes defective. Fixes are tape on end of stylus, bluetack or bit of plastic bag inside. Occ people have taken device apart but only for v. experienced - i use tape :)

thank you! i'm just surprised how it could go defective from hitting it when the unit itself appears undamaged.

I don't know how well this would work with Cingular but, some users from other carriers were able to get warranty repairs for that problem. Just don't tell them that you did it with your fist, OK ^_^

The 8125 doesn't have the stylus problem as far as i know, just the wiza 200's. This may be something else.
