I dropped my phone and now the mic and speaker will not work. Is it possible a connection came loose? I can't find any wiring diagrams online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No one knows how these are connected?
It is connected under the back cover. There are YouTube videos about replacing the screen. If u are looking at the exposed back. It is on the left hand side near towards the bottom of the phone. The speaker is enclosed in a piece of plastic. Take it apart and see what you can find. Either speaker or charger ribbon cable is bad.

The tip of a headset snapped off inside the black plastic headset jack, so the phone thinks that headphones are always plugged in. This causes the speaker to not work. I got a broken motherboard online for cheap. I am going to attempt to switch the jacks. Besides "That's a dumb idea", does anyone have any suggestions or words of wisdom? Thanks.

Broken headphone socket
You could try a matchstick or something similar with a tiny dab of superglue, let the glue go off and with a bit of luck you'll be able to remove the bit of broken jack plug without disassembling your handheld. Good luck.
I should have mentioned that I tried super glue and disconnecting the battery and wrapping a wire arounda thin piece of metal and pulling out the plug with an electromagnet. Neither worked. It is lodged in there really good.
Nightmare! I've got a long shot but it may be worth a go. Given that some people are using the ink tube part of a bic biro pen to mod 2.5-3.5mm adapters I guess that the ink tube part is slightly wider than 2.5mm. Is it possible that you could slide a bit of ink tube in the socket over the broken bit of jack plug and pull it out?
i have to advice to
if you are going to dismantle your xda there is a pdf here that shows how you must do it and the tools for it search and you will find it (serarch my posts) i posted it here cant remember where lol
its a step by step guide ....
hey guys,
here is the short story of whats up. I broke off the tip of a headphone adapter in my wizard. basically the smallest piece of metal is stuck in the headphone jack and refuses to come out.
First, any ideas on how to get it out, I tried toothpick/paper clip with super glue not too much luck. If its easy to take apart say so and I'll try that.
The other part is that my phone makes no noise and I can't talk into the mic on it cause the phone thinks there is constantly a headset attached. Anyone know a workaround on getting the jack disabled or a workaround like that?
Thanks in advance
It happened to me once. I took the phone apart, and poked a pin into the other end of the headphone jack (the one facing inside the phone) and it eventually popped out. Maybe you could try some small tweesers if you don't want to take it apart.
Taking it apart isn't so hard, you need a small torx key, and somethign flat to prise bits open.
Hi,
So today I was watching a movie in bed and holding my transformer with 1 hand. The bezel (or thing that separates the screen from the sides) suddenly moved up so it was now disconnected from the screen. My headphones had stopped working. I pushed back on the screen/bezel area and it got back into place but now anything connected to the audio jack doesn't work properly. There is no notification that anything is connected another sound comes out of the tablet as well as the headphones. Please help, as I am going on a 12 hour flight in 2 days and really want it for movies.
Thanks
Do the sounds thought speaker still works? Do your headphones still working with other device?
yes and yes
sounds like the spring connector in the headphone socket might have bent, had the same problem but in reverse years ago on an xda exec a little plate that makes a contact when the headphones are inserted got jammed in the open headphone position so no phone speaker. Yours sounds as if the contact might have bent when your bezel loosened and is not making the contact when inserted. Looks like an Asus job. The contact is doglegged so that when the jack is in it closes the contact, if yours/has bent straight when the jack is in it still won't contact.
But then again could be wrong.
maybe clean ?

This happened to me too. After I mod my tablet to add 2.5mm barrel plug charger my speakers stopped and the audio jack worked in only one side. Then a few hours later after I pressed on the bezel in the same place as you the audio jack did not work in either side. I read about reboot the tablet to reset audio and tried but it did not work for me. I opened my tablet and unplugged my speakers from the board and the audio jack now works 100%. I have replacement speakers, so I will soon be reinstalling and testing the original speakers and my replacements and maybe get to the bottom of this problem.
So maybe a tablet reboot (off and on) will do same for you without opening. Maybe there is another trick to reset the audio, but I do not know. It may be something else, but I do not know. Good luck.
If you want to open and unplug & plug speakers you need a torq #5 to open the two screws. Put thumbs on screen and finger nails over edge and under bezel lip and push/pull gently - starting a one of the top corners. If you get hung try wiggling a small plastic tool under edge and try again, carefully. The speaker plug on mobo is small white socket mounted on board in bottom left. Careful to not void warranty.
Thanks
Thanks everyone for your replys but I have a couple other irreparable problems so I'm sending it back to amazon
Hi,
I bought a second hand first generation nexus 7. Sound from the speakers was working fine, however, one channel of the headphone output was initially broken. To fix this I bought a replacement charger/audio flex and fitted it, and this is where the fun begins.
Headphone out works. The problem is, the speaker audio occasionally drops out, sometimes returning after a while. Having checked the speaker connection, I therorised that perhaps the nexus was thinking that the headphones were plugged in. To confirm this, I installed an app which displays a notification when the headphones are connected. Indeed, when the sound drops out, the tablet thinks the headphones are connected yet they are not. I stuck electrical tape over the edge of the speakers as shown in some youtube videos (the plastic can erode and short out on the case), but this did not fix the issue. I also note that the speaker output is fine if you disconnect the charging/headphone flex.
Having concluded that the replacement flex was broken, I sent it back and ordered a replacement. I put it in and... the same again?!? I can't believe it.
Here is the part I am using: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141216668642?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Is that correct?
Attached is a picture of the original part and the new part side by side. The top one is the original. They are identical in size, but some components differ slightly, e.g. the usb socket and the markings on the flex (e219454 vs. e219454GF).
Anyone know what is going on here? Cheers :good:
For the record, I tried fiddling with the edge connector pins (the ones exposed on the outside of the side of the case) just in case they were not making good contact and shorting something. No joy...
I have the same issue on my 1st gen Nexus 7 after replacing the same I/o assembly. Were you ever able to find a fix?
Thanks in advance
Same issue here, any solutions?
After having pulled out my headphones cable a little too vigorously, I am facing the problem that no matter which headphone I insert, the sound gets thin and disturbed. Still stereo, but really not good. The only thing I can do is slightly push the plug on the right side to the left, causing the inside part to be pushed to the right, which gives full quality sound again, but will return to bad sound once I stop pushing. So I assume some pin is bent inside the jack. Is there any way to repair this, or any idea what to do except buying bt headsets or a new phone?
Thank you for all helpful suggestions
Check if you don't have lint or some dirt in the headphone jack - I use thin sawing needle to dig out accumulated dirt from headphone jack and USB port every few weeks/months. If it won't help, you should be able to carefully bend the inside pin with the same tool. Strong flashlight will help to visually check the situation
As a last resort, you can buy the part from aliexpress, its like 3 dollars.
Take it to service center they'll do everything fr you
