Nokia N95-8GB Loose Slider Fix

Update 26.05.2010! READ THIS FFS! ^^

Check out this link for bending the metal clamp instead of fiddling with the plastic rail and some tape.

I have recently tested this and it works better, it will keep the phone tight for the rest of it's natural life. There is only one catch, the metal bar is fairly brittle, so be very careful when you bend it, and remember you don't need to bend it much, fraction of a mm will do. Do several test fits while you carefully bend.
Kudos and thanks to the user who gave me the link: youcancallmeelove

Update 16.02.08 (Read this)
Tape used in video is a bit to thick.
Be very accurate and careful with the tape piece or else it wont stick to the plastic rail properly.

How to fix loose slider on a Nokia N95-8GB, it's a bit different/harder than fixing a regular N95.

This is probably the fifth time I do this and this mod seem to be very good. Same smooth slide without the annoying click on the left side of the screen.


Cons and pros.

+Removes the loose slider on right side.
+Easy to do.
+Does not require any special tools.

-May fracture the guarantee.
-It's possible to break something if not careful enough.
-It does not remove the very little looseness on the y axis.

Enjoy =)

Just did the German version and my N95 now requires Hercules strength to slide lmao >.< ...

@deniousp Oh, well, thats easy to fix, but next time read the instructions more carefully. =)

Just dismantle it again and bend the metal outwards a little, remember you only really need to bend one of those two "hooks".

Be REALLY gentle when you bend it and test it regularly in the process of adjusting it. It works really good when the bend proper.

GLHF :p

NOKIA MAKES HIGH QUALITY PHONES

Caps lock is like cruise control for cool.

Define Quality?

Nokia has issues mechanically wise on a lot of their new plastic exterior phones.
