Dead joystick.
 

So a few months ago my foreign exchange student tackled me in Wal-Mart and I landed right on my 6700... all was good, until I used it in the car. It kept going to "Align Screen" and I was all like WTF. Turns out, when I landed on it, it jammed the joystick in, so it is constantly being pressed.

I cried about it for a bit, and had to return to the world of flip phones, and I currently have a Razr2 that I enjoy, but it would be nice to switch back to my PPC when I wanted. I got my PPC cheap and I can't really afford a new one, so I was looking into repairing this one.

Does anyone have any experience or information on taking apart the front assembly? There has got to be something I can do to pop the joystick back out and make it work again!

Thanks

Call your insurance.

I just called the Data support team at Verizon yesterday, same exact problem. They just sent a new one out which I received today no charge. I bought the phone 2 1/2 years ago, when it first came out. So way out of Warr.

My only problem is that the phone is not activated. Wouldn't they know something is up if I requested a replacement on an old phone or activate it then request a replacement right away?
