Hi there,
I accidently damaged the speaker grill of my HD2. The speaker is still working, but it looks really ugly as the black color got lost and now there are some silver scratches on the grill.
So, is there a way to exchange it? Which spare parts do I need and how much would I have to take apart in order to replace it.
Well, I know, it is not really necessary to replace it as everything functions as it should, but you know, I am really fussy
Thanks!
I would think there would be the same work involved as replacing the speaker, try Googling for HD2 speaker replacements. Can you not just ♫ Paint It, Black ♫?
Thanks for your answer. Well, the grill is not attached to the speaker, as you can see hear: http://www.feelstore.net/web160/Admin/Product20/ProImage1/20109623472367855.jpg
But I can't figure out where it is attached to watching the official disassembly video.
I tried to paint it black, but it doesnt really work that well. I don't know, perhaps I used a wrong pen.
I don't mean it's attatched to the speaker, but rather to get the grill out the HD2 will have to be taken apart the same way as if you were going to replace the speaker. I would assume.

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
Has anyone had to replace one? Is it difficult? Any idea as to where I can find the part? I'd gladly buy a broken one for parts....
Mine sounds like the speaker is blown... it works, but rattles and vibrates...
wow....74 views and no replies....
I replyied to your request in my other post. As for the difficulty it is hard to say. I repair phones for a living so it wasn't hard for me the first time. What sucks is that you have to take the phone apart from back to front just to get to the ear speaker. A T6 and a small 2.0 phillips screwdriver will get you in. And some phone opening tools whould sureley help. I ordered a new faceplate for a customer from cnn.cn and it come with the ear speaker installed in the faceplate already. You could order it plus all the tools you need from there. The link is below:
http://cnn.cn/shop/tmobile-shadow-faceplate-copper-p-2674.html
very cool the faceplate doesnt seem too difficult to replace. Thanks!
I did a REALLY a stupid thing this weekend. I had the trunk of my wife's car up and had no pockets, so I put the phone on the edge of the trunk and put everything else in the trunk. I swung the lid down and it bounced back up.
I had no idea what was keeping the trunk from closing until I saw my phone sitting there. Thankfully, the trunk's on a Toyota Echo, so it didn't crush the phone, but it did dent the faceplate right where the speaker and email/browser button is.
Now calls are really scratchy and crackling, so I'm guessing that I have a partial connection to the speaker or crunched it well enough to kill it.
While it's useable, it makes it hard to use - is there anyone on the forums that does repairs?

How about you!!??
All the info you need is here.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I just fixed the same problem with my Hermes.
Find a good disassembly guide and pull the beast apart, when you get to the speaker, it will be caved in/crushed.
There are two clips on either of the long sides, unclip them and carefully lift the metal bit off a little way, get a small jewelers flat head screwdriver and push the dints out, being very careful of the delicate wires.
Or you could just find a new speaker
EDIT: While you're at it, bend the speaker contacts out a bit too just in case they were squashed, also to get better contact.
Hi,
Has anyone encountered any issues with their speaker apart from that infamous volume balance?
My right speaker refuses to play anything but if I press the chassis of the transformer together the speaker works but stops working as soon as I let go. To me it sounds like some sort of loose connection/contact.
How easy is it to dismantle? Has anyone encountered a similar issue?
Thanks.

My left speaker doesn't work, but very occasionally will momentarily come to life. Squeezing the edge doesn't make a difference. I assume its a loose connection, but I have'nt done anything about it yet.
My left speaker doesnt have any sound at all
Hey OP, I have the same issue, except mine still plays at times, gets fuzzy and buzzy at loud volumes, then stops. However, if I press the right side together, it plays again, so it's not noticeable if I use a really tight sleeve on it, but with the loose sleeve I normally use on it .. :/
Same here, when it does play, its very buzzy. I am inclined to open it up and check if its some loose contact or something but I don't fancy messing my Transformer up as of yet lol.
No problems with either of my Transformers myself, but there were a few reports in the past of poor connections to one of the speakers on some TF units. (Right speaker, if I remember correctly.) Forum search will find them.
If my TF had these issues I would send in for repair

My left speaker quit working all together and right speaker from the start was extremely weak. I sent it to ASUS for repair with less than one week turn around and both speakers are nice now. Well worth the time to have done properly.
I'm scared of the RMA process tbh :/
I Managed to fix mine if you people are interested.
It involved disassembling the Transformer.
I took the speaker out of the "compartment" it was in, switched on the tablet and put on some music. No music came out. Pressing the speaker in sound came out but as soon as I let go the sound disappeared. I cut out a small piece of paper and folded it a couple of times and placed it in the compartment the speaker goes in.
When I put the speaker back in the paper sort of squashed the speaker in a bit which in turn kept playing music.
Its not the best of explanations but if someone has a similar issue they may be able to use that as a guideline lol
How hard is it to disassemble the tablet? Also, what tools would I need?

Its not very hard. You just need some patience as removing the bezel is the only bit you need to be careful with.
You would need a Phillips screw driver (one of the small ones) and a Torx T5 I believe was the correct size.
I used this video as a guidance:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG9gEYRALtU
To remove the bezel he uses a plastic tool with a very thin edge but many people have had success simply using a guitar pick to remove the bezel. Luckily I had one of those plastic tools and was able to remove it.
Once you can see the insides:
That little black rectangle on the right is the speaker, inserting the small screwdriver in the compartment its in, you should be able to take it out and if your encountering the same problem as me, just press and hold the speaker from both sides to see if audio works.

This happened to me tonight while watching a youtube vid! Been looking through the forums for successful speaker replacements and messaged one guy already who might have the correct replacement speaker part.
Will update when I know more.
Cracking it open is very easy as long as you take it slow. I did it to fix my power button. It is pretty well known by now that the TF101 was one of the most cheaply built but still amazingly performing tablets on the market.
Images of damage https://m.imgur.com/a/H4NgaMK
The metal unibody is damaged and the bottom speaker grill also the sound is distorted when above certain decibel level sounds like crackling I am not very experienced and in Canada with no warranty since from gearbest where can I repair it and where can I get the parts from trusted place I could find any parts all it showed was cases and speakers thank you any help is grrr8 sorry for **** grammmer also phone color is quartz gray.
Sorry that happened to you.
Couldn't you locate a local repair shop and have them assess the situation? I guess the phone needs to be opened and checked from the inside, to see what kind of damage it received. It does look bad. The board and the screen are probably ok and it seems that the plastic frame broke and with that, the connection to the bottom speakers.
Have someome look at your phone.
