For the N95 owners...

Found this tip for those with loose slider mechanism on their phones. Hope this helps.

This is my guide on how to sort a wobbly n95 slider. WHAT YOU NEED: 1 n95, 1 torx screwdriver and 1 roll of electrical sticky tape, i did this fix with my vodafone branded n95, images taken with my t-mobile n95, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Start by turning your phone off and removing the battery and battery cover, then pull the back cover off by easing it out away from the slide like this......
Then remove the cover from the phone like so ...... At each side of the n95 you will see 2 black metal strips (1 each side) held in place by 3 silver screws, heres the pic of the black metal strip .......
Now undo the 3 screws from 1 side and keep them safe (do 1 side at a time, its easyer) , and remove the black metal runner ......
Now the fixing part, put the metal strip on a surface face down so the lip is pointing upwards, get your electrical tape (iv used blue so you can see it) and cut a thin strip and place it on the black metal runner under the lip like so ....... Do this twice with each black runner so your slide will be tight once its back together, once you have done the first side, take the second black runner from side 2 and do the same, u'll notice one black runner is smaller than the other, don't mix them up when you put them back onto the n95 ......
When finished and ready to put the runners back on u may have to force them into place, don't worry they will fit, as you put the runners back on you will notice that the runners are pushing the white plastic runners down onto the slide, this is how it makes the slide nice and tight, then screw the runners down tight and pop ur back cover back on starting with button side first like this .....
