Yes, the title is correct - 7110, from '99
I was wondering if someone knows how to fix the slide. The button works, but the slide doesn't hit the bottom (who had this phone knows what I am talking about).
When I open it, the mechanism looks pretty simple, I attach the spring and everything, but when I close it something gets stuck somewhere... Someone with a similar experience?

I just like it very much and would use it as a daily phone (again) if I knew how to fix this.

my 7110 alas stopped working a few years ago, possibly because of some mishandling by someone i had lent it to
nonetheless, i kept it in a drawer mostly and even though i remembered the slide not moving quite so smoothly any more after 5 or so yrs of service, it seems to move even more sluggishly now.
could be dust stuck in the rails?
if so, cleaning it and applying a "contact spray" (that also works as a lubricant) may do the trick?

Using this (and others) as a main phone is an awesome idea!
So much is going on in the current gen of phones and I just miss the simplicity of Nokia!
5110/3210 day's! Snake!
