BlackBerry Curve 8520: doesnt charge, the part where the charger connects inside has broken

Wed, 25 Dec 2013 14:39:44 -0700

hello, i have had my blackberry for ages now, one day it was working fine and then i plugged it in to charge and it didnt respond. so i thought it was the charger so used my usb and it still didnt charge. the charger was really loose inside the phone so i took it out and the part where the charger goes inside the phone came out with the end of the charger. so i took it apart and then saw that the part where the charger bit inside the phone has snapped off the circuit board. i dont know how to fix it without buying a new phone or a new circuit board. help please.

BlackBerry Curve 8520: Phone thinks headphones are in even though they are not

Fri, 09 Dec 2016 08:03:49 -0700

So I have a blackberry curve 8520 and my phone is having a slight problem, I am pretty sure its a hardware problem and not a software problem...

Say someone rings me I will pick up and it will flicker between the headphones being in and then allowing me to use the actual phone to listen to people speak in the handset speaker nor will it allow me to turn on speakerphone

Any help?
