Shonky phone repair shop...

[Draen]

Hi,

I took my O2 atom exec to get the plastic housing replaced.

I took it to a phone repair shop to do, and they did it, but then they said the microphone was faulty and wanted an extra $95 to fix this.

The phone was working perfectly beforehand, and now I am left with a phone where the mic doesnt work properly. I can hear calls ok, but just cant speak back. I found if I use the handsfree/loudspeaker function the mic works.

Does anyone know what the problem could be, and would it be an easy fix?

I shouldn't of brought it to those guys... What can you do though.

Any help would be appreciated. The rest of the phone itself seems to be working fine.

It doesn't make sense.

I can talk fine when its on loudspeaker function but when its off then the caller can't hear me talk.

I can record using the mic.

I wonder if it's a software thing, and whether doing a hard reset might be worth a try? Thoughts guys?
