This is a fantastic forum. I congratulate the goatdude for advice and knowhow. I was
about to give up on my Impression's volume problem before I tried this simple fix-
perfect! I was thoroughly scared to mess with my phone's internals, but now I look
forward to really making this phone 'Mine'. Now, if I could figure out how to get the
games into landscape mode it would really be something. I guess I need to seriously
read about 'goatbreaking'.. Thanks again.
