hey, all. if anyone has an extra plug which inserts into the back of
these phones, please email me if you'd like to sell it for a modest
price. i'd be happy to give you a few bucks. i lost mine somehow and
am quite frankly so OCD that i'd like to replace it. this is the plug
that fits into the back above the battery door right next to the
antenna stub base. thanks.

UPDATE:

i contacted motorola warranty about this small part and they were
totally unhelpful--first they said i could send my phone in and pay
shipping AND have it gone for 2-3 weeks, THEN later told me the part i
sought was no longer offered, anywhere, on the planet.

what a.sholes.

That's a damn shame. I lost the same plug, and have the same disorder as
well.
Please let me know how you make out with your quest.

Thanks,
S

Hmm. I dont; need mine, since I use my T720 in a Cellsocket, which
needs the antenna connector. Now, if I can only figure out where my
plug is. maybe I'll have to put it on on ebay..:-)

Easy way to get around the lost rubber plug.
If you are careful, put a small coating of petroleum jelly
around the socket, then squirt some latex window cauking
compound on it. Allow it to dry, then use an xacto knive to pop
it out. Use a Q-tip that is moist with alcohol, and wipe up the
remaining jelly. Pop the plug back in the hole and you are done.
I've used that technique for years, to make plugs when I'm building
model airplanes, and when people lost a plug for something, and
can't replace it. Just let the latex cure overnight.

Ingenious! Will silicone do the same, or is it the same material?

Thanks so much,

Don't know. I would assume that it would, but I've
never used the silicone, just the latex type.
