Tuesday, July 11, 2006

The Motorola V551 has a recognized problem with the earpiece resulting in the loss of volume from the earpiece overtime. This manufacturing fault would often occur outside of the warranty period for the V551 cell phone meaning that you would either have to replace the cellphone for a new one of pay to get it fixed.

A lot of people did not even realize that the earpiece of the Motorola V551 was actually falling since it looses volume very gradually over time. If you are finding that you are holding the phone very tightly to your ear to hear anything or even feeling like you’re going deaf then the earpiece in your Motorola V551 is probably failing.

Here is a nice guide to fixing your V551 earpeice that takes you through step by step how to fix this fault yourself. You will need the following:

- Assortment of jeweler's screwdrivers (Flat blade and maybe some very small torx)
- Electrical tape
- Rubbing alcohol (optional)
- Q-Tip (optional)

This does require a lot of fiddly work so you will need steady hands and patience if you want to go about fixing the earpiece of your Motorola V551 cellphone.
