Hello, I bought a second-hand Orange M1000 a few months ago and love using it, but I managed to break it yesterday and wanted to pick the collective's brains for idea. In the headphone socket there is a small black ring on the outside (presumably to stop the headphones going in too far), anyway, this is missing on mine and I pushed them in too far and I think I've damaged something as the headphone connection is constantly on and I can't get it to switch back to the phone's speaker. I really have no idea what to do, I've tried to have a look inside but had to give up as there are two screws at the base of the phone which look like they need a special screwdriver to remove. Can anyone offer any suggestions please?

Thanks for the instructions. I'm not exactly the most subtle person when it comes to taking things apart, but my father-in-law could understand them and he got it working for me. I honestly thought this was going to cost me a fortune when it realised I'd broken the phone - so thank you very much.
Hello all!
First, thanks for an awesome forum! It has both helped me tweak my Wizard, and also get help when I have needed it.
Well, I have no choice now but to ask here. Last autumn, my warranty was almost up, and a wierd problem presented itself. The mic and speaker suddenly just stopped working! The sidespeakers still work, I think, because the phone rings when someone calls me. But the caller can't hear me, and I can't hear the caller. And there isn't a hint of sound in it, no static or noise, there simply is nothing.
As there were only a few days before the 2 year warranty was up, I ran to my dealer and turned it in. A few weeks later, the phone returned, working again. But now that I come to think about it, I don't remember if I got a replacement or if they actually repaired it... It looked a little like they handled it rough though, maybe it was another phone... Well, that's not important right now.
The same thing has happened again! Summary:
1. Mic & phonespeaker dead
2. Stereo speakers work under certain conditions
3. Wired headset that came with the phone works, both for calling and media
So it seems like a hardware problem. Please note, although I downgraded the phone to original, official Swedish Qtek 9100 ROM, it has been thoroughly tweaked and upgraded to a number of different WM6 ROMs - but all that has been working beatifully!
Still, what are the odds for the mic&speaker dying twice in a row, on different phones (i think the present one is a replacement)?!?
Question: Does anyone recognize this? Is there a possibility that it is software related, and maybe fixable? I have searched both the web and these forums but haven't really found any information on it.
ANY input would be greatly appreciated!
Additional information:
Qtek 9100 (Swedish), G3 model, WM6 upgrade successful (unlocked)
EDIT: There are no system sounds, which is wierd, because the phone can still ring. I thought the system sounds came from the stereo speakers on the sides of the device?
Hello all!
It is a glorious day to be alive!!! Or to have a fully functional Wizard, at least!
Lol - my topic isn't very old, and i reply to it myself with a solution (?). I Googled after the Wizard service manual, and found it right here on Xda .
In all honesty, i didn't do all that much. I just followed the disassembly instructions of the wizard about half-way through, to the point where you get down to the back of the motherboard. I poked and fiddled enough to locate the mic assembly, only to discover that the mic is soldered to the mainboard of the phone. So, i figured i'd just leave it be, because if the mic is really broken the motherboard needs to be repleaced, or a replacement mic needs to be soldered on there.
After removing A LOT of dust in there (honestly, i think the service center that had my device last time wasn't very careful with anything, even a screw was missing! ), i reassembled it. The flat cable running to the keyboard was also a little skewed, but that may have been me, anyway i corrected it too. Same with the speakers.
Long story short, after successfully reassmbling the phone, i fired it up, called my home phone and voila! I works!
Not much of a fix, as i don't really know what i did exactly, but dust, dirt and some bad connections/soldering may have benn the culprit.
All in all, i'm very pleased with my afternoon here. Thanks for stopping by .

hi epatnor,
I think the problem with your phone was a stucked microswitch in the 2,5 mm connector for the headset. I read about it here in the forum. Sometimes the switch stays in the closed position and the phone still thinks the headset is connected. Thats why all the sound is sent to the not connected headset and therefor your phone seems to be not working (unless you connect the headset)...
But removing the dust is for sure not a bad thing...
For the next time: I think there was an easier solution for this problem than disassembling your phone...
regards

Thanks huibuh_1,
Yes this was probably not the smoothest way of "fixing" it. That said, the stucked microswitch theory would actually fit my problem well - I can see now that the exact problem I was having would arise if such a switch was indeed stuck.
However, I think that the problem would be more intermittent since I actually use that port now and then - especially since it's the only way to talk (besides using a bluetooth headset that is). And since I connect the wired headset now and again the switch is used and moved, I suspect that this would result in the speaker/mic coming online again maybe..? Temporarily at least?
All the same, thanks for replying - this might happen again and with your information I'm better prepared for it!
Hello Everyone
I have an Acer S200 and I ended up cracking the digitizer and lost the use of the entire display. Not sure how. It was in my pocket.
I purchased a replacement on ebay and replaced it. The screen works just as new. How ever I seem to have done something to the earpiece and mic.
When making a call, the earpiece is silent and the no one can hear me. However if I turn the speaker phone on I can have a complete 2 way conversation.
I originally thought it was my ROM however I have tried a few and finally placed the official one on, no luck.
I have taken the phone apart and put it back together a couple times, making sure that all peices are tight.
I am at a loss
Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks

Hi
About a week ago i watched your video tutorial which explained how to deassemplby my HTC hd2 mobile. I USED THIS VIDEO HERE :
pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked
I only desmounted the back part, in order to change the chassis of the back of the phone which got worn with time.
Everything went smotthly it was simple enough HOWEVER as soon as i put the new chassis on its place and everything in order something bad happened:
my mobile stooped to ring, vibrate and the side button whcih regualates volume, doesn't work either.
Now it's not like i desconnected anything inside so i don't really understand what could have happened.
Can you help me here?
Which part of the motherboard would make those work?
Is there anything in particular i sould check? Maybe some connection got loose, but i dont' really know where i should look...
please give me a hand i'm really desperate
thank you very much
1. I had to replace the screen a little while ago. All went well except that I damaged my on/off switch button and I need to replace it. I'd also like to replace the volume pushbutton as I bent, but, was able to this one back in shape. The on/off button is held in place by a piece of tape.
I can find replacement buttons for the moto g4, but, the picture looks to be different than what I remember. It is confusing that they have several phones with such a similar name. I also know that many online places don't necessarily even use the correct picture for the specific item on sale to begin with.
I did find an official motorola online forum where they just said that phone has no user repairable parts. I guess I'm a technician/user then and need a replacement part. I never did figure out how to log in to that forum to try to get an answer or even part number.
I managed to damage the part when removing it, but, I imagine they would survive pretty much everything else the might destroy a phone. I haven't really been able to find any listing of very broken ones either.
Any help?
2. I also notice that while playing music via bluetooth to my car stereo that sometimes there is some noise. It sort of sounds like you would get if a potentiometer needs cleaning or the output jack has dirty contacts or gets jostled. Then I remember there are no wires and no potentiometers involved in this situation.
I did read somewhere that this is just a problem with that phone and there is no fix. I get it, it is basically a throw away phone, but, is this really the case. Was this an issue, was their a fix? and/or is there a way to get a replacement that doesn't have this problem or some way to upgrade to another model that doesn't have this issue more affordable?
