hello

my lad got this phone on holiday and didnt tell us until he got home that the volume wont work on it >-(

ive done a bit of googling, and tried a few tests, and come up with the problem, but not the answer.

apparently theres no sound whatsoever. but........if he puts his headphones in, it works. it looks like theres a problem in the 'switch?' that detects whether the headphones are in or not. basically, it thinks theyre in all the time.

unfortunately it was bought abroad, so returning it isnt an option. anyone got any ideas? will a firmware upgrade solve it? someone said they solved it with a 'light tap' :-) ive tried this against my knee, but that doesnt help.
a reset maybe? if so, how do you do that? cant find the info on that one.

thanks for any help you can throw my way :-)

cheers
