Nokia 6300 - headset/sound problems?

Hi all,

Ive got a Nokia 6300 (work phone) and for some reason it now fails to recognise that my headset is plugged into it. At first I thought it was the headset that was the problem but it works fine on my personal phone (same phone!). I then thought the sound had gone but I checked that and its fine. Ive gone through all the setting to check if Ive accidentally muted the sound / changed the profiles..nothing has changed.

I then searched the 02 help pages - nothing came up.

Does anyone know how this could be fixed? Or think of anything that I could try? Im assuming Im going to have to phone 02 and get it sent off to be repaired...

Meh, stupid phones.

My 6300 does the same - although sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I tried another headset to no effect and mine worked on the other phone too - just like yours by the sound if it. Fortunately I've not had much need for it, but if you find a fix please let me know.

The wired headset for my N95 is likewise sometimes dodgy.

The fix - a Bluetooth headset - takes the connector out of the equation.

If either of you want to borrow one to try (you can buy for < £10 these days) I can arrange something (have a few at home)

Thanks david but unfortunately I can't try that option as the headset I have is specific to my hearing aids. It just sits behind my ear (rather than in my ear).

Looks like im going to have to ring 02...heres to sitting on the phone for hours

One of the Bluetooth headsets I have has a 3.5mm jack plug for headphones if that would make a difference - ie its not an in-your-ear headset - if you can use an mp3 player then you can use that.

The hearing loop I use looks like this:

Is that a 3.5mm stereo jack on the end of the loop? (ie can it plug into mp3 player)

What does it normally plug into - because if it IS 3.5mm I have a bluetooth headset that can take a 3.5mm feed (normally from an Mmp3 player) as well as syncing with a phone - it then fades the mp3 feed out when a call comes in - so if the loop plugs into some kind of mic/amp set up (please forgive my ignorance) I can probably sort you out with something.
