Ringer doesnt work Nokia 3120

Have just fixed this problem on my 3120 everything else was working on it except this. If you take apart the phone starting with removing battery, then the face plate and touchpad, then using a T6 screwdriver remove the 6 screws holding motherboard to the chassis and remove motherboard. Then remove silver metal base plate to expose the Antenna Assembly, very gently remove this part as this is where the ringer is. When you are looking at this you will see two little spring loaded balls on the left hand side, you should be able to put your finger on one of these to get a clicking sound. Both of these should be in the up position if not do this, with a very thin blade gently go into the seam nearest the spring loaded balls and cutting thru the glue go along edge of seam until they pop up. Then put it all back together again and hopefully this has sovled your problem. My phone was out of warranty and i had 3 quotes of $70-$90 to fix so i had nothing to loseby doing this.

And 6 years later... so I found this web page after Googling the problem of my Nokia 3120 not ringing after I dropped it.

Roxydog1's reply about the two little spring loaded balls made me think that maybe I could make them get back to their correct position by banging the phone against a hard surface.

So I did that several times and eventually it worked. After banging the top right edge of the phone against my desk, the ringing started working again.

Where the "A" of Nokia is on the front of the phone, hit the edge of the phone (not the back or front or top or bottom) near the very top of the edge against a wooden surface, like a desk top.

If at first it doesn't work, hit it a bit harder, but use your common sense! Don't hit it so hard something breaks - you just need to shock those balls back into the correct position.

Worth a try if all else fails.
