Guest ROMZERO Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi all, Ive been offered a Monte Carlo with a broken mic for £40. Does anyone think its worth buying to possiblly fix it myself? Ive read over a couple of posts where some of you have sent your monte carlos back but some have fixed them themselves thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jtharmor Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 No.....you cannot be sure whether its hardware failure or whether its mic displacement which you have read in some posts here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Badgie Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 You could use it as a 3G modem/wifi access point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ROMZERO Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) You could use it as a 3G modem/wifi access point Thanks although I already have a mifi device and tether from gs2. i might still get it though if i can haggle it down to £20 Would be gd to know if i could definately fix it though Edited June 18, 2012 by ROMZERO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mtman1 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 If you can get it down to £20,I buy it anyway. You should ask he/she if it is a software flaw or a hardware one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should ask he/she if it is a software flaw or a hardware one. cheers thats what i was thinking,i reckon its hardware as some people have had similiar problems with mic displacement, i would try a custom rom on it after taking it apart and having a look at it because it might be just fluff. still unsure to buy it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oscar-mark Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) The mic is bad from the beggining, can't you just use a headset? I think it's worth it! Edited June 24, 2012 by oscar-mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
