8210 display scrambled (intermittent)

[nokiafanatic]

Hi,
my 8210 display scrambled up intermittent. I've been using Nokia original cover all the while. Sometimes the display goes normal. Usually when I press the power button, the display scrambled, sometimes when I took our from my pocket, the display already scrambled.
Does anyone face the same problem?
Do I need to change the elastomer or the whole screen?

Thanks

Just the elastometer, I'd heared a while back that Nokia had acknowledge a problem with the 8210 so you may be able to just take it to a Nokia Service Centre and get them to change it for free.......worth a try, worst they can say is no! :)

Or you could buy one for £2.00 off of ebay!

I have an 8210 and have bought a new elastomer but cant see how to remove the old one.Have tried pulling it out from the back with tweezers but wont come out.Do i need to take it out from the front somehow?

Use a needle or an unfolded paper clip to fumble that thing out... as you replace it anyway, doesn't matter if it get's damaged :)

fold a small peice of card or paper up and place it just above the screen so it makes the case tight when u put it on, ive done this for years as all my 8210s have done what u stated above.

This 100% works and it dont cost anything 2 make :D

IF U TAKE IT OUT AND TURN IT ROUND THAT SHOULD WORK 4 A WHILE ABOUT 3 TO 4 MONTHS
