Nokia N95-8GB Loose Slider Fix

thx

No problem =)

Unfortunately Nokia knows how to fix it and it is covered by the guarantee.
The thing is however, this error SHOULD have been fixed before they launched the phone, the old N95 has exactly the same issue, how they managed to learn so little from that is pretty scary.

Hey bro,

Man I fixed it thanks a lot buddy. Someone from Nokia should check this video out. They are probably waiting for someone like you to show them how to fix these issues. Take it ez.

That was a very quick response thanks for the info. I appreciate it will keep you updated on myt status.

Thanks =)

I used the plastic rail that came with the phone, Nokia has some new ones that are tight and proper, but I don't think they are available for the public to buy.

The lube isn't very critical and if you have to lube it to make it go easier, then the tape is to thick. Any lube will do however, I am sure a little engine grease will work fine.

Hey bro, awesome video I was just wondering do I have to purchage another plastic railing, or can I just use the same one on my phone. Also what Lube did you end up putting on the railing?

I am not sure, look for videos on youtube that does the fix on a normal N95 =)

QUICK!! VERY LOOSE SLIDER will this work on a normal n95

A great phone - its one of our all time best selling phones so its all good.

i would never ever grow the balls to do that to my N95 8GB...its only a little loose..its fairly new so i dont have that problem but its inevitable that in about half a year or maybe less im gonna have the same loose slider problem..sighh....

My mistake deleting your comment ProDjMegabyte.
It's up again, thanks =)

Thank you very much, this worked wonders for me and my phone feels more like a brand new phone than when i took it out of the box. just a little comment: make sure you guys that the piece of tape (in my case electrical tape) covers only the middle part of the rail unlike what we see in the video because both sides of the rail are thicker than the middle part if you look closely and if you put tape on the whole thing the phone wont slide no more once you put it all back together! thanks again!

Sorry, I managed to remove a nice comment here with a different approach type to fix it. :(
Thanks for any further information supplied! I am sure it helps those who reads here and want to do the modification.

BigAussieBloke69:
The part of the phone where the screen is attached, was very shaky.
There are videos on youtube showing the exact problem. =)

So what was wrong with it?

You can also ''bend'' the rail a bit this will fix your problem but doing it with tape is better i think.
