Main speaker disconnected

By disassembling the Magician the two cables of the main speaker were disengaged. I now need detailled inside pictures (at the best both sides of this oval speaker) where exactly I have to solver them.
Pleaze help (The disassembling manual from 718 is not fine enough).
HTC Magician, MDA Compact, I-Mate Jam, XDA Mini, VPA compact

Are the wires disconected from the speaker or from the board.
If from the speaker than tou must see 2 solver points (clear) you dont have to worry about + and -.
On the board the speaker wires are connected throug a small white connector.
You can also buy a new speaker wich have the wires and connector attached. Or replace it for a alcatel speaker. (that works for me)

Disconnected from Speaker
Thx for prompt reply. Is disconnected from speaker.
Have tried to solder at the speaker, but doesn't work.
I guess the previous owner has done something wrong so my question
for detailled picture.
What kind of alcatel is the speaker you took?

You may want to test if your speaker is working or not. You want to know which part of the circuit is having the problem.
eg. Take a multi-meter to test the resistance of the speaker.

If you can get Alcatel 511 speaker (oval), use cutter to cut out some plastic pin, that doesn't allow you to put speaker on it's place, and desolder two contact springs (gold color) and solder two wires instead.

Thats the one
First test the speaker (usumed you did that allready)
If you tried to solver and it did not work the speaker is probably defect but (small chance) it can also be a deect board.

Problem solved
Many thanks to JDark and fj200 - have ordered the Alcatel 511 speaker for € 1,49 + freight (here in Germany via ebay.de, price for original speaker is € 28,90!!!), cutted the plastic pin, cutted the golden contact springs and then soldered with the two wires - runs perfect.

Rear speaker - where can I get one

The rear speaker of my JAMin blew... I need a replacement so I can do the work myself and not have to send it over for a week to the lab. Where can I get one?
Thanks,

How to repair the sound issue on Prophet
Hi
I could read a lot of posts on that issue and found this solution:
Remove the battery cover. Then the camera cover: to do so, lift up the gently the cover starting from the side of the battery.
You will see something looking like a fan. This is the speaker. the problem is with the red wire whixh connect the speaker.
Turn on your prophet and run your favourite MP3 song.
then touch the red wire with your stylus. The sound should come back. Insert a piece of folded paper to keep the cable properly fixed. that's all
Watch out not to wish to fix it too nicely, you could damage the wire !
Hope this help, otherwise a return to the service department will be necessary !
Hope this helps

Hay the paper trick works!
I went here to learn how to remove the flap to the speakers:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=240109

Well, my speaker had the voice coil broken... touching the membrane would bring it back to life but that is no real solution. I replaced it with a speaker from a used old cellphone with some minor use of hot glue to fix it in place and seal around it.
It works now just as new.
Nir

yeah it is a real Problem.
mine is broken twice in 6 months.
tried the paper thing. but it sometimes sounds weird and there's some hissing. maybe I did it wrong. so I tweak it a bit and just lost it completely. no sound whatsoever now.
went to the service center today. they said that they have a new batch of speaker which supposed to be better than the previous one. if anyone can confirm.

That's great, this fixed my problem. After I touch the red wire with my stylus, the speaker just works fine, don't even need a folder paper.

I'll try this one myself - my speaker just died again - it's been back once already.

Well, I followed the instructions above and now I have a working speaker again. A very low tech fix to a high tech device.

I have found a small bit of sponge does the job better than folded paper.

what is the type of speaker.
i mean can i use any speaker?
what's the best?

Mohammad, you seem to have missed the point of the replies in this thread. We don't know where to get another speaker from but we do know how to make the existing one work again.

oh, dude!!!
sorry

What a piece of ugly Speaker: O2 xda Neo!
Hay Guys,
I am suffering from this nasty problem since sometime. My brother has tweaked the speakers with a metal piece seem to work. However if I use speakerphone, it goes off.
Is there a permanent solution to this constant spurce of unhappiness.
Incidently I have been blessed with a on & off camera problem as well. I think I will never buy a DOPOD product in my life again.
My Camera has those colour matrix instead of proper images. Occasionally it behaves normally. I have tried hard reset already.
Any body? help !!!!!

I wedged in a piece of foam. That's worked a treat.

The manufaturing quality of HTC is bad
I also have the speaker problem. And thanks for all of you to suggest that sponge and folder trick. I did it and i have put a small slice of ear plug sponge. For past 2 days my spearker is working. But dont know how long will this sponge give my speaker lifesupport. I am sure after few days again its going to be problem. Hey,...... is there anyone in this thread who has used sponge/paper and the speaker is working for long time.. at least a year ?.
These HTC products seem really bad quality products.

that worked

motorola l7 speaker is too a candidate

It's too bad they saved on the speaker. Guess the manufacturer of the speaker had a very nice presentation @ HTC
Trying to download that pdf file, but it's not working :/ However I've read on other occasions that people talk about that motorola speaker as a replacement. Might be worth giving a more detailed look into that.
What exactly is the problem with the speaker btw? Did anyone narrowed that down already? Why is the speaker not functioning properly?

pdf
The file contains instructions to change the original speaker using the spk of a motorola v525.
I did it yesterday, and works fine, but isn´t easy to do it

No Sound Out of Speaker Unless...

I dropped my 8525 this morning. It didn't seem like it hit anything very hard.
Now I get no sound at all out of the speaker - including the phone ring tone - if the stylus is pushed all the way in. I can pull the stylus out about 1/8" and get the sound back, but then it won't fit in the case.
Do any of you have any ideas on how to fix this?
*UPDATE*: Edited because I've now found that it's not just the speakerphone.

I have a similar problem but i don't think i dropped the phone. (well, I've dropped the phone, a bunch of times actually, but not recently.) It just seems like the problem showed up out of nowhere. I tried soft and hard reset, updated the radio and SPL and ROM but nothing has worked so far.
I'm not sure if this may just be a hardware problem because i get no sound at all (no ring tone, alarm, touch pad sounds, sync sounds... etc. ) But when i plug in the headset i can hear everything just fine.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Simple - known and posted about problem. Your rear speaker connection is loose. It just needs pushed back on. (and by the way it's near the stylus end taht's why fiddling with the stylus makes it come on)
Here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2001027&postcount=5 You'll see a pic of the rear speaker and it's white block and red/black wires.
In short the rear casing needs to be removed and connector pushed back on.
You may or may not find the stylus rubber block is loose. If so PM me and I'll tell you how to fix it.

The push in connector for the rear speaker can work loose. This MAY be your problem. See here (2nd picture - not a major dismantling but just remove rear casing - voids any warranty though):

After dismantling the phone and re-assembling the speaker it was still with distorted sound.
I managed to buy a new one, replaced and it's ok now.
thanks for your help.

Lg v20 speaker problem

Hi. I have v20 and my speaker fidnt work.i can hear some noise once in awhile.i open the device and reconnect the speaker.then comnect.and agold piece accidentally broken.my question is if i replace anew microphone it should work?

I don't know it might be the motherboard contacts and not the speaker. Actually I had mine open recently and I slightly broke one of the contacts but not completely so it still works.
The pic you posted does't show the speaker contact pins .That one you see there is for something else, a ground pin or something.
Sure, if the contacts on the mobo are still high enough a speaker replacement would solve the issue. If the speaker is the problem of course - it may be the contacts are not touching the speaker properly.
I would test the speaker before buying a new one with an old earphone cable if you have one. You'd just strip the ends and place them on the speaker contacts while plugged into an audio player and see if you hear anything. Oh btw, strip off the felt grille off the speaker, it sounds way better that way.

My speaker also stopped working a few months ago. I bought a new speaker but it still doesn't work so I summer that something on the motherboard is fried. It may also have been caused by the resurrection I had to pull off using QFIL around the same time. Maybe something firmware-related.

I replace the speaker, but it still doesnt work. I guess because of the gold ribon that broke..is there any way to fix it??

Anyone??

loudspeaker not working - incoming calls not ringing
Did you solve the issue ???
I apparently have the same issue with my chinese refurbished v20
The strange thing is the audio jack for my earphones was not working (but I didn't really care because I don't need it) and now it's working ! ...
