hi i have a couple of old phones here, an 8310 and 3200. when i plug them into a charger they both start charging  so i know they still work. however, on both, the 'on' button on top has broken off. now with the 8310 i used to be able to get it to turn on by poking around where the button was with a paperclip for about five mins, but now for the life of me it wont turn on. i just need a spare phone for about a month so this is really annoying
does anyone know a way to get them to turn on? i dont mind taking the phones apart if needed as i only need them for a bit. life saver if you can help

try getting them repaired on your house insurance, they may even give you new ones
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Take them to your local phone shop and you will get a trade in on them enabling you to buy a phone for 9.99
Surely you can afford that?
