I have the same problem, mic doesn`t work after a drop, I bought the flex cable of ebay, but I`m a bit confused on how to install it,
I follow some guides on you tube, but normally they require to remove the screen, and that would be very difficult not to break it,
Any help please?

I dont know if anyone opend their wizard up.... mine is the tmobile mda..
the earpeice does not work when the slider is closed... or halfway...
the keyboard has to be slid completly open for any sound to be heard...
i know its a loose connection somewhere in the slide.... anyone know how to fix it?...
just started happening a few hours ago.
and now neither works... only works in speakerphone... wth is going on
It sounds as if your rigid flex cable is kicking it,
However your phone speaker could just be loose. It is affixed to the front plate and not the Rigid flex board.
I would try to troubleshoot with a dissassembly.
if the main ribbon cable is torn you should replace the rigid flex board. If your speaker is loose or broken You can look on XDA to see if someone is selling one.
ok.. i just read the service manual on how to dissassemble the wizard...
i just want to get a few things straight...
the rigid flex board is the board for the keyboard right?...
ribbon cable is that big thick silver ribbon right?...
if said cable is torn... i have to replace the entire rigid flex board? or can i just replace the ribbon cable instead?
if the speaker is loose... all i would have to do is tighten it... if it is broken .. all i have to do is replace it right?...
------
im sure the speaker isnt broken.... because it was working when the slider was slid open... and not working when it was closed.

Hi there bigjoe,
where did you find the service manual for the Wizard? I have audio problems myself (the mic and speaker just died, i can´t hear anything and the caller can´t hear anything, but the damn thing rings nonetheless!) and my warranty is up. So I would like to take a peek inside!

Ok, Here are the answers in order.
The rigid flex board is the board you see in the top portion of the wizard (where the screen and buttons are housed.)
The master ribbon cable is the big thick silver one yes.
I would replace the board it could just as well cause problems.(it's not too expensive)
If it is loose re-seat it in it's place. If broken replace it.

Have your first tried hard reset?
It sound as if your master cable is or rigid flex board going, but it could simply be your speaker and mic.
The service manual is here:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BEG0XKM8
Hope this helps you.

Ribbon cable for the earpiece!? Possibly, but check the manuals on Link removed - no longer valid
I wrote a piece a while back for the TyTn (not the same phone I know, but similar). Have a read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2001027&postcount=5
Now that front speaker directly contacts the m/board and the spring contacts can bend a little. Easy to fix if you are happy to dismantle.
Mike
thanks
the phone was closed when it fell so not sure on if it is the ribbion cable. also r u sure that the speaker is atached using the spring contacts, because i have the tools and the abiltity to take it apart just dont want to void my waranty if i still have on i have had it for more than 2 years.

I agree, if you have a warranty then use it.
If not, then I am puzzled about this earpiece ribbon cable. There are ribbon cables of course but not to my knowledge one for the earpiece. Can you post a link to the item on ebay?

i believe my phone is out of warranty but i might be able to reason with the people at the store. but if it is just reseating the contacts that is not hard fro me to do myself

i found this i think it is the cable listed on page 17. but as rthis is rather expensive i would rather be sure before i purchase

Agh I see what they're referring to now. The flex cable connecting the top daughter board. No - I do not believe it's the flex cable because that would likely mean the top buttons would not work either. Even if it is, the cable, it would just be a matter of re-seating it's push on connector.
In the picture the speaker is the darker object on the left side.
It looks an almost identical setup to the TyTn link I gave above.
Unfortunately it's a fairly major strip down, not just a case of popping off the back casing. The TyTn Service Manual would be helpful. Very occassionally the earpiece speaker is broken (rare - it's normally just the spring contacts), but there is a Motorola equivalent that will fit if you needed one. (The OEM speaker is not easy to source).

thank you both of my upper buttons works so im gusing it it not the borad. do you think that it is that much of a tear down because i have taken apart many apaches xv/ppc6700's and it was not that much work. also to reseat the contacts i just push on the speaker.

If you have some experience dismantling then it should be ok. The flex cable between the two halves of the phone may have some sticky tape holding the connector in place - that is a little bit fiddly, but not difficult.
To make the speaker make better contact with the board, you need to bend out the gold colored contacts just a little. (When the phone gets a knock / fall it can bend the spring contacts in and so it no longer makes contact with the board) The pics on here for the FRONT speaker show the contacts I'm speaking about. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...27&postcount=5

ok so the speaker is just sitting on the board or is it held done by anything.

It is between the casing and the board. Normally the springy contacts make this a firm contact. After a knock the contacts get a little bent and it then rattles about and does not press on the board.
It is NOT soldered on, just pressed against the board (normally)

Hallo,
The backcover of my HD2 was damaged. So i ordered an nieuw backcover and i replaced. Now i have no speeker and no gps. Can somebody tell me where this is on the mailboard. Is the problem maybe the metal plates under the screws.
Please help=
There's a thread on HD2 disassembly if you search around. Check this link out though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL-jnUKufC4. You can see how the hardware is laid out and see what may be damaged
Check to see if your gps (white) coxial cable is loose and if your speaker is plugged in (top of the motherboard, next to the flash/camera assembly and vibrator.
So i bought a used HD2 so i could get rid of my Aria and do a dual boot
The digitizer was bad so i bought that as well as a new screen, replacing it the main flex ribbon that connects to volume port broke which is unrepairable and the pcb where the flex connects to the socket lid broke half way when removing the tape so dang fragile.
But the ribbon still goes in and it still closes, so the main issue is the flex ribbon with the broken volume button.
So my tech is an idiot. But i really want to use the HD2. Is there somebody that has those parts and can fix it?
I already spent $65 on the digi and screen so i feel
Yes go onto ebay and look for hd2 side volume key pcb.
It's a lengthy repair but nothing too difficult if you like electronics.

found it, should have some fun now
Hello,
Where can I find a good replacement for HD2 digitizer?
I have Windows Phone 7.8 on it (I had the same problem on Android) and sometimes when I am using it, the digitizer registers my touches wrong.
Seems to be the left side is most affected by this - Like when I press e, it presses q also, or w then q too. Also happens with s (a) and symbols. Cannot even pinch to zoom.
This has rendered my HD2 a unpractical phone. It started randomly last summer.
Should I change the digitizer in this case or is there something I can try?
Also, my input jack is messed up - when I have a headphone connected to it and the plug shakes in the slightest - The phone things I want to pause the song or play it. Also activates the voice search which is a freaking PAIN.
Can anyone please help me and tell me what I should do about these issues?
Digitizer & other parts such as assembly tape can be found on eBay.
Dosome homework on digitizers & stripdown guide to save yourself from common problems/mistakes.
Audio plug maybe harder issue to rectify, it can be replaced but requires a good solderer to do good job. You may improve things by cleaning socket & cable plug & trying to improve contact spring arms tension position in socket with a pin or similar.

But does this issue seem related to digitizer being faulty or just a cable a bit damaged? Sometimes the issue appears and sometimes it doesn't.
Ribbon on digitizer is all one piece & any permanent repair usually is only really achieved by replacement of digitizer.
I have had similar issues of screen presses activating other area on screen & dead zones on digitizer error & also the more common no touch issue, all required digitizer to fix .
Anyone know where to find a replacement jack in the USA??
