Loose Sliding Keyboard FIX for Hermes/Dopod 838 Pro

[doctorchan]

I just posted a easy fix for the loose sliding keyboard for the Dopod 838 Pro/ Hermes at my Blog.

Loose Slider Fix (http://docfiles.blogspot.com/2007/08/loose-keyboard-fix-for-dopod-838.html)

My slider was ok for a month then I dropped it once and since then it has been a bit loose. Not very loose, but just annoyingly so.

Place the clear scotch tape on both sides of the rails denoted by the yellow boxes. The idea is to let the tape secure evenly and snugly into the sides of the rails.
