Nokia 6600 / NHL-10 problem - no audio from earpiece

Not sure, probably best if you strip your phone yourself. Been a while since
I've had mine open but I'm pretty sure there are some ribbon cables that
connect everything. A link how to disable your phone is below. Once you have
undone the screws any put a pin to ease off the case, just run a credit card
round the outside of it. Probably cost more to send the phone to be repaired
than to buy a new one

I think its just a leaf switch inside the bottom of the phone but it should
come up with the headphones icon on the phone to tell you that it was using
hands free/headphones.
