Can this be fixed at all? Sanyo 8100

[Nimdock]

The phone works fine, it's a little loose but I can use it without problems. I didn't drop it, I don't even know when exactly it broke.

I think that the answer I'm going to get is no, it can't be fixed. Since here we have a lot people with deep knowledge about phones I thought I'd ask anyway.

Ur missing a piece of the hinge. I dont know if they still have repair kits. The 7400 has the strongest hinge

THAT HAPPEND TO MY 8200... GLAD I GOT A 7400 NOW

yeah...if its still under warranty, thats a free repair if you dont have any other damage to the phone

[Nimdock]

Other than that the phone is great... but my warranty run out a long time ago, hehe... And I don't have insurance. :(

If I take it to a store, can it be repaired even if I have to pay for it? Considering it's an old model...

Well that's good to hear :P

I just came back from the store.

They told me they can fix the phone. :)

They don't have the parts. :(


The person who I spoke to told me they should get the parts next week so I should go back then... it'll be $20.

Am I a happy camper? You bet!!! I was about to buy a new cell phone... and now mine looks like new, all over again... for just $20... thank God I asked if it could be fixed.

And thanks to all of you. :D

Luck you, I`m going to the Sprint store next time if I have another problem with the 8300.

[Deval]

yeah we actually can replace the entire external housing on the 8100/5500/8200

Wow, I must gotten a bum 7400. Apparently everyone says it has the strongest hinge, but mine lasted 5 months. I didn't even know I could get it fixed at the Sprint Store! That's good to know for the future! I guess I can't really complain because the hinge break gave me opportunity (via Best Buy's replacement plan) to upgrade to a Treo 650. Man I love this thing!
