I don't know what's going on with my little bro's 3210. A few months ago (when I still lived in the philippines), the ringer speaker wouldn't work, so the technician opened up the phone and put some long jumpers in. THen about a week later it stopped working, so we took it to another technician and he replaced the ringer/buzzer speaker and that seemed to solve the problem. THen about a month later the phone wouldn't charge, so he bought a new battery, and that worked once or twice, but then it wouldn't chage. Then we took it to yet another technician and he installed some jumpers, which allowed it to charge. Then a week or so later it stopped charging again, so we took it to ANOTHER technician (hehe, there's a LOT in the philippines), and he 'shocked' the battery, which seemed to solve the problem for a while, but then it died again, so about 1 hour before we were going to fly out, i ran it to one last technician who soldered some new jumpers from the middle of the phone to somewhere around the top. Now i'm in australia (and the phone had been off for about a month), so yesterday I plugged it in and it chaged for about 4 hours. THe phone was on for a while, then it died. I tested it with another battery, and the phone works fine, but wont charge its battery. It only seems to charge new batteries. What's going on??

Thanks for reading all of that btw!

I just went to check out their prices today but they've not only stopped selling them, they don't sell 3310's either! Does anyone know where I can buy a 3310(w/o sim) in Australia?

I went to try and get the 3210 fixed today. The guy said he's charge A$50 (about 25 euro) just to look at it, and since the lights had been changed, they would charge me extra to replace it with a new 3315 for A$170 (~85 euro). Does anyone know how I could fix the 3210 myself?
