anyone fix cell phones??
so my brother got this sweet cellphone. i dont know the exxact name, but its pretty expensive im sure. he lost it on the side of the road and got another one free insurance. then he found that one and i have it here. only think is the earpiece doesnt work, but it can still make calls and the person on the other end can hear you. so does anyone work fixing these things??

they use serialized tracking...
if you make a claim on a phone, they ask for that one back...or they will charge you. if he tells them that he found the old phone, they will want it back. it is permanently on the lost/stolen list now, and can't be re-activated once deactivated....im guessing he didn't call up and suspend service for a lost phone?

Re: anyone fix cell phones??
The part in the LG phones is replaceable. If I still worked there I could actually grab one for you, but I don't...so sorry. It's easy to replace, it's just a small round or square speaker with two wires running off it. if you can solder you can replace it easy.
Try calling LG Electronics customer service and seeing if you could just order the "speaker" for the Chocolate phone. I know we ship parts to individuals, but it's usually the easy stuff like battery covers and antennas...you could try though. Then just google around for a service manual and it'll show how to disassemble the phone.
BTW, chocolates do suck...and I hate the "touch sensitive" keypad.
