    Hello Santosh Das.
    Although I can only read and learn little about you in the phone tech world, I trust you might have some answers to my phone challenge.
    I own a 2009 Nokia 5330 TV Edition. I am currently having issues with its earpiece jack, charging point and camera, as these components are fused (though I was told). These components aren’t working. I was advised to replace these components, and are readily available in my country (Nigeria).
    Is there any way you can help? A few of my friends still want to put theirs to use, but for this challenge.
    I will appreciate if you can help.

I have checked every software and resetted the phone but it seems is hardware problem but l don’t know how the two are linked together. Can it be a single ic that is controlling the two or is it that it that phone that once fell inside water, the liquid might be the cause
