    If they notice the cover has been removed (you need a screwdriver I believe?) then they will put it down to unauthorized engineering and you'll be left paying for the repair.

    Otherwise they might .. .

    I had a problem with my nokia 6234. The On/Off Button just stopped working one day so once the battery died i had no way of turning it back on. Perhaps its a weakness with the model. I sent the unit back to the nokia customer support place in Dublin and they sent me a replacement within a few days. All nokia phones have a 2 year guarantee i believe, check it out on the nokia website

    This 2 year warranty doesn't cover you against unauthorized engineering which includes removing a cover that's not user servicable. If they see wear on the screw heads or whatever they might not fix it.

    Only one way to find out of course, we've all heard of people who've got away with far worse!

    ya well the small screws are 5 sided and well i dont carry around anything like that so they might see some damage but hopefully they wont but i'll send it off anyway and see. oh would the fact that i have a 1gb memory card affect it in anyway

    The 1gb card won't affect it. I've seen the on/off and volume buttons break quite often on that phone so i think its a manufacturer fault

    Be sure to take your memory card out before you send it back as it won't be returned to you

    It can be sent from anywhere for free but most repair companies won't fix something under warranty if another part of the phone is damaged, even unrelated.

    You'll probably need the screen fixed and they'll charge for that. No way out of it.

    i must say this particular nokia seems to be very problematic, mine does the reverse i.e turns itself off but won't turn back on by pressing the on/off button so i have to take out the battery then put it back in to get life into it

    I recently took delivery of a 6234 as a replacement for my 6021 that got damaged. I now find that the new phone will not allow me send or recieve text messages via my Garmin 310 sat nav. Anyone got an answer?

    Anyone ever figure out a way to turn it on?

    Does taking the battery out and replacing again work? my phone is permanently on now as i discovered the on/off button had broken when i tried to turn it off.. its only a matter of time before i forget to recharge..yikes!!!!!!
