Sand in my phone...

    Hey, i was at the beach yesterday, and now there's a lot of sand in my phone, one key feels like there's something behind it when you click it (although the click still registers) and there's a weird static sort of sound when you make a phone call...

    It's a nokia e71, any ideas on how i could clean it?

    You need a T4 & T6 screwdiver, you could use a T5 but you make damage the screws so I wouldn't recommend it, also if you do it yourself your warranty goes out the window, it would be best to take it to your local nokia service center especially with the crackling speaker...

    Dissamble here..

    Just a tip, never take your phone to the beach...

    Better with sand than water in the phone, tbh :)

    Go to a nokia repair center they should clean it up for a minimal charge i reckon 10euros at the most , if it still under warranty they may do it for free..
