Hello, I bought a second-hand Orange M1000 a few months ago and love using it, but I managed to break it yesterday and wanted to pick the collective's brains for idea. In the headphone socket there is a small black ring on the outside (presumably to stop the headphones going in too far), anyway, this is missing on mine and I pushed them in too far and I think I've damaged something as the headphone connection is constantly on and I can't get it to switch back to the phone's speaker. I really have no idea what to do, I've tried to have a look inside but had to give up as there are two screws at the base of the phone which look like they need a special screwdriver to remove. Can anyone offer any suggestions please?

Thanks for the instructions. I'm not exactly the most subtle person when it comes to taking things apart, but my father-in-law could understand them and he got it working for me. I honestly thought this was going to cost me a fortune when it realised I'd broken the phone - so thank you very much.
