I would suggest using fine steel wool and the clear coat very light coats....

I would contact vtech and ask them what u can do about replacement pieces. And also they might give u other options on other products u can use as replacement pieces. Good luck.

I don't use this phone for calls. It serves as décor. The hook unit for the handset appears too flimsy for everyday use. I would guess that the brass would not peel off.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that. What kind of problems are you having with your phone? I advise you contact the seller and let them know that something is wrong with it.

NO. If it was as easy as it looks every professional repair shop would be repairing these phones at a lower cost and making more money. This entire sale is a scam. They know a major percentage of you won't return the kit due to cost and trouble. You really need to use your brain when buying something like this garbage.

I would suggest to get new brass fittings and used telfon plumber's tape. I got mine at Lowes, Home Depot, and Menards

One of my handsets began exhibiting a distorted ring sound and speakerphone audio before it just stopped those functions entirely, along with the key beeps and intercom. I ordered a used replacement and it, too, did the same thing. I've returned that one, and will look for another. This looks like a reasonably common failure mode.

You might want to call the company and ask them about having it repaired. The cost may be more than the set is worth. I have not had a problem with it except I hit the port once and couldn't get out of it. I called and got a quick response which solved my problem. The service was very good.

It was difficult and time consuming. I had a heat gun and a laser temperature gun. The glue under the screen was super strong and didn't want to release the glass. My glass was totally shattered and I ended up scratching the part under the glass a little bit and, even though I thought I had cleaned it thoroughly, I ended up with a couple bits of something in between the glass and the LCD screen. However, my phone works fine now and the little bit of damage I did to my under screen is less of an issue than the completely shattered glass was. I bought my phone used for $100 and the couple of places I checked about repairing it wanted nearly that much, so I tried this rather than replacing my phone. It was difficult and time consuming.

My honest answer to this is, just buy a new phone, it's harder than you think trying to replace that screen. Unless you get someone at a phone repair place to do it for you, in which they wil charge a lot of money.

That company is very easy to work with, as far as defects go. I suggest you contact them explaining your problem.

I have to occasionally clean the cradle contacts on the side of the phone to stop this problem. I use the tip of a nail file, gently, to scrape the contacts clean.

Within a couple of days the screen was smooth and clear. It may need time for drying.Good luck!

You may have to try RadioShack or att.. If unsuccessful, try a private, mobile phone technician place. Trying to open it on your own may damage the phone worse beyond repair

Haven't tested the boundaries of the phone, but I did drop the receiver a couple of weeks ago and now there is terrible static when I get a few feet away from the base unit. Probably just knocked something loose. Before that, the sound was fine wherever I went in the house with it...no fading at all, no matter how far I got from the base.

I usually take them off of another 3220 I have replaced (this is my 5th 3220). Don't know where you can fet hem but you can try EBay or go directly to Nokia. I have brushed my bumpers w/colorless nail polish to spruce up and stop them from tearing, try that. I love this phone, wish they'd bring it back. You can buy it used, refurbished and new, just search computer, good luck, k

There is a slight chance it could be a problem with the main board, but I doubt it. I have fixed many phone by just replacing the lcd/digitizer. This is an easy fix. You just need tweezers and some small screw drivers and a guitar pick. I recommend you watch it on you tube first. Good luck:)
