Considering getting a broken phone and fixing it up! Suggestions? - microchip13 - 02-18-2006

There's a K750i for $150, only some of the keys work and the joystick isn't doing too well either.

I'm thinking just cleaning some dust and maybe replacing the keypad PCB will fix it...

Should I go for it? The PCB would set me back about $10.

Seriously? Should I jump on it?

Please! I could use some advice.

$150 for a semifunctional device is a lot.

but yes, its likely that you can fix it.

If it is broken, that is a lot of money.

I think thats what craigslist and ebay are for.

Look at the persons other and competed auctions--see if he looks like he refurbs phones--if so--bad sign--since he couldn't do the working phone himself--if not--you might have a deal-but it is a lot $$$
