A few weeks ago, I realised my Nokia E61′s keyboard backlight was no longer lighting. I’ve browse around the phone’s settings but software didn’t seem to be the issue. Since no Canadian provider supports this model, there are very few chances that Nokia’s Newmarket service center office in Ontario would repair the phone. I still took a chance and sent the phone to Newmarket hoping they would consider the phone as a E62 and repair it anyway. Unfortunately, I’ve received the phone back with a clear message saying that this model was not supported.
My Nokia E61 has never received any shock and has never been dropped. While the connections inside the phone should be OK, I will open up the phone and post a few pictures of it’s inside. I will probably discover a bad connection which I will need to resolder. If that is not the case, I will give a try to figure out if any of the test points are reporting a bad signal by using the Nokia E61 schematics found somewhere around the internet (Sorry I am not posting these here as I would probably run into problems with Nokia).
If ever any of you run into this problem with either your E61 or E62 Nokia phone, part 2 of this issue will be posted in the next weeks with either a working solution or a dead phone.
