Today I lost the speaker and mic in my 8125. I don't know what's the problem. I can't hear anything from the speakers nor use the microphone. The headphones work but not the internal speaker. What could be the problem?
I need help!!!
Diego
Still no microphone nor speaker in my 8125. I tried restoring to original set up without a change. I think it's a hardware problem and I';m taking it to CIngular for a exchange.
If anyone can help, please let me know.
Thanks
Diego
exact same thing for me. had this playing music when i removed the head phone jack and was surprised to hear that no sound came out of the external speakers ...
now i can't even use the phone ... WTF?!?
Well, I contacted Cingular Suport on the phone and they're sending a replacement. Apparently is a defect of the 8125 hardware and many have reported this problem too.
@MeatPopSci
Contact your service provider to get a replacement.

Dont Worry Bro Its No Big Deal, Calm yourself down and listen carefully, The reason its not working is that when you insert the headphone jack into it (there is a small jumper in it which works through a spring so when you insert the jack inside so it disconnects the main audio circuit) so sometimes due to some dryness or may be somethingelse it doesnt connect back, I just recently fixed one Device with the same problem but since i know how to open it and so i did but for you, i guess the top priority would be not loosing the warranty and that you surely will once you tried opening it but ofcourse you need tools for that, so heres a small tip which may work, Open media Player, Play a song and than try inserting the jack back into it and take it out, do it with a little force, it may start working but that will still not be a proper solution to it. Thats all i can help, if there is still you need my assistance in understading the way how to open it than dont forget to drop me a reminder mail on my mail box and ill check back and will tell you more if it didnt work.
Thanks man, a replacement is coming anyway, but it's good to know.

first i thought software was the problem so after a soft reset followed then a hard reset both failed to restore the sound i figured it had to be mechanical.
so i basically did what you said till TOOL started playing via the external speakers.
needless to say i am very concerned that this $$$ phone is so easily made useless.
BTW thanks for the help!
No Problem! It made me happy
Well, im so glad my idea worked n yes u know for me if it stinks, its chemistry
if it hurts, its biology
n if it doesn't work,
its definately physics(electronics) lol
so i dont depend or trust electronics
Anyway the pleasure was all mine, no need to thank
takecare!
Dear Forum Users,
fist of all sorry for the fact that my first post is a request, a question and not a contribution - but im really dependent on your knowledge.
Despite the fact that in general it is not recommended to change the cover of your mda (or xda etc) I did it, and seem to have f***** up my display. The device itself is working just fine, i can do active sync, the taping also works (when i switch it off and guess where the yes button from "do you really want to turn off your device" is it actually shuts down properly). the thing is that i dont see anything, its just plain white.

when dissecting the unit i disconnected the connector from the display to mainboard in order to unmount everything (unfortunately i discovered afterwards that i could also have done it without connecting - dumb philipp :/ , but right now that doesnt change anything for me)
has someone dealt with a problem like mine before? i would be really thankful for any hints or advices to get my baby back to life, otherwise my old vk2000 will be my companion for the next 6 months (i shiver when i just think of it).
thank you in advance,
Philipp
Have you tried to disassembled, and than reassembled it again?
some times the display flat cable, isnt fuly inside the connector...
there is a possibility that you f*** up the connector, but for determine that we need a macro picture of it.
yes i messed with the connector indeed, but as the pins of the strip were down i thought the black piece wont be of that much importance (i can remember i ****ed one up at a regular mobile yrs ago and it was still working)
can i get that thing back to life if i try to squeeze the 2 black parts (formerly one piece) back in or do you say its over?
thank you for your quick reply btw, i appreciate!
http://content.imagesocket.com/images/conn2d8.png
That is not good. i dont think you can do anything but send it to repair. maybe they can replace the connector.
ok, i will call them and check how much it is and if it is even worth having it repaired... if not, then i have a defective compact for sale :/
shayd, thank you!

No problem at all
this guy has a bricked Charmer. Probably you can talk to him and see if he is willing you sell you the charmer as parts.
Well ladies and jerks, I regret to inform you that my MDA is completely dead. I was in a car accident the other day and it went flying through the air and when I grabbed it off the floor of my car the USB charge plug was loose and had trouble connecting to the computer but still worked. Since then I had put a drop of super glue in there to hold the plug still and everything was fine untill this morning. My phone was left off with no battery in it untill the glue dried and still, everything was fine.
Now this morning when I went to grab my phone it was completely frozen and had 1% of battery life left so I soft reset and plugged the phone in and it was charging fine. I connected it to the computer and it would not connect at all. Now after playing with the cable a bit to get it to connect to the computer, the charge port is completely dead. It will not even let it charge with the charger and the little silver piece inside the plug is falling out.
Does anyone here have any idea what I should do to save my Wizard? I fear it may be the end for it.
Here's the big problem though. My device is CID unlocked and still has the TNT.1437 firmware on it so my warrenty is completely void. T-Mobile will not send me a handset exchange like this.
hi
t-mobile wouldn't send you a warranty replacement even if you had the official windows mobile on it. that is because, after you read the terms and conditions of the warranty, it does not include and in fact states quite clearly that 'excessive' use of the usb cable resulting in damaged charging port will not be replaced.
i realise this is not very helpful, so allow me to be helpful!
download the wizard service manual, if you PM me your email address i can email you a copy of one
what you will have to do is first obtain a new mini usb port from ebay or somewhere similar, i will try to hunt one down in america for you
following the service manual, you need to dismantle your handset, use some sort of rubbing alcohol (nail varnish remover) to get rid of the super glue you put on, first try to re-solder the old connector back onto where it came, or if not solder on the new one after removing the old one.
to be honest, you dont have anything to lose, but you could gain a working mda again!
good luck, and just a disclaimer to say im not responsible for any damage done to yourself, your device or anything else.

dharvey
hi
so sry to hear about ur accident and damaged MDA
t-mobile will certainly wont give u warranty replacement. It happened with me once also and only way out was ,I took it to a mobile repair shop and got the usb connector replaced for very nominal price.
duke_stix is right,get a mini usb and solder it. If u can do it,very well or take it to a techy to do it properly.
Once it's repaired it will be as good as new,goodluck

Good advice except don't use rubbing alcohol, it damages plastic. Use adhesive remover instead. (At my hospital we use little adhesive remover wipes similar to the alcohol prep pads.) We are told to use this method when cleaning adhesives from plastics and it works.

Thanks. Have you had any luck trying to find a service manual? I have been looking but with no success...
Well I managed to find a wizard service manual written in English for the US and got my MDA taken apart correctly without damaging it(I hope) only to find that all 9 contacts for the USB port are completely severed. Unfortunately I don't have the soldering skills to fix this on my own and there are no local repair shops where I can get it fixed seeing as how I am also out of a car...(see first post) so I am back to a Razr... UGH.... Anyways, I will remain an active member of the community and continue to help others with issues they may be having and help others flash roms because I found that I enjoy helping others.
I will, however, be leaving for a period of time in a few months because I am being deployed and most likely will not be returning with a Wizard but an HTC TyTN II. Don't worry though, I won't forget my friends back here in the Wizard forum( I know too much about these things to just pack up and leave now...)
Hi
sry to hear that,
But just another idea popped in my mind,if u can manage to get mini usb port than u can take it to any electronics repair shop, like tv,radio or any pc repair shop,it can be soldered,since u say u have the service manual u can show them the circuit layout,they can fix it.
yet,if u happen to have any sort or make of mobile (Motorolla,Nokia,samsung) which is pretty old and spent,of which u got no use,c if it has a mini usb port,usually every mobile does have it,and it has 9 connectors,take it out and get it soldered to ur mda.
Well, since its gonner,there's no harn in trying,

Thats a good idea, but I will probably just end up buying a new one off ebay for my girlfriend and play with hers all the time and then I already bought a TyTN II for myself.
Thanks.
So how about that manual??
That would be Sweeeet !!

First and Foremost,
Thank you sir, for answering the call of your nation. This American & his family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.
In my ancestral culture's view, a patriot is second only to Saints & the Lord himself. May God watch over you & your team members.
I HAD to tell you that because every serviceman needs to know just how much Americans honor and cherish you!!!
(NEVER pay attention to the liberal media, they are sick diseased haters & hypocrites who are lucky to live in a land where they are allowed to lambast & denegrate those who are truly honorable.)
About your wizard, there are several ways to connect electronic components these days. If an adhesive was used, forget about it. If it was truly soldered, nothing can be easier! You can do it yourself (make sure to get a bulb vacuum for removing old solder and a modern soldering gun). It is so easy, in fact, that a authorized repair facility may do it for you for cheap! And you could always mail it to them, too.
Good Luck & God Speed dharvey4651.
similar problem?
My MDA will charge fine through the USB cable, but will not sync/connect -- it's not even appearing in Device Manager.
Does anyone know if this is definitely a hardware issue, presumably involving the USB port?
Thanks in advance,
Will Stewart
it is possible, your USB cable has problem or try another PC.
If you still cannot fix, donate to me ...

I would try to find one on ebay that's broken and yank the ear piece from it.
ok thanx but can i use a headset or a bluetooth thiz way ti will make life a lil easier for me
If you have about 70 bucks, dr. cell phone will fix it. or if its still in warranty, call tmo
sigh no warranty this phone is about 1 yr old sigh....so where can i find this dr
google dr cell phone. they are slow though, just to warn you. took mine like 2 months because the part is rare
The earpiece speaker is really simple - two wires connecting to the plug - that sometimes can have a break in one of the wires. I had one recently that had the black wired severed completely because it got in the way of the screw hole. Might be worth taking apart and checking.

Yeah, you should still be able to use the bluetooth to get around it. I think I have the pdf document on how to take your phone apart at home. If you want I'll post that for you.

Hi,
So long story short...I need to replace the Ear Speaker Flex Cable Ribbon with Sensor Part. My phone is not covered by warranty and I really need it to be working, I rely on it heavily for music and as it stands...the headphone jack no longer works properly. Only one of the earbuds work at a time, unless I spend a minute trying to wiggle it and hold it in place which is obviously not convenient. And it's not the headphones..tried many pairs and even tried plugging it to a set of speakers with the same result.
Any recommendations or anyone know of a site where I can purchase this part?? Any help would be immensely appreciated, I don't know how soon I'll be able to make the switch to the HTC Titan
A quick search reveals on eBay this and some other places, like globaldirectparts, mptgsm, oemcellphoneparts etc. (I used this search) but fortunately I didn't need any so I can't tell you about the service. For sure there are others.

Exactly what I needed in eBay, I didn't think to look there. I had checked the globaldirect but they don't sell to consumers.

Good luck, I hope you get this sorted right! I believe there are several videos on how to take apart the Focus on youtube that you might find handy. Please post here details about your success story, afterwards: time, tools etc
