Article about navigation with a broken mobile phone

"Did you know that all speakers are powered by a magnet? Even the speaker in your cell phone! The magnet is located behind the ear piece of the phone and is typically a circular disk that resembles a watch battery. Once you locate this magnet you can use it to magnetize a small piece of wire (1” or less) or thin metal. Be sure the metal piece is magnetic and capable of being attracted to the magnet. It has to contain iron or steel to work properly. To magnetize the needle, stroke it with the magnet back and forth about 15 times."
