I looked around the forums but didn't find the answer I needed. My 8120's ear speaker has sounded buzzy for quite some time now when I turn the volume up, don't know why. I don't have audio boost on. I'd like to replace the speaker and I've found the speakers online but I have yet to find installation instructions.
Anyone know how to replace the EAR speaker or where there's a write up or video?
No, no audio options are on, for sure, I checked and re-checked before posting. The ear speaker has a vibration and sounds buzzy when I raise the ear speaker volume anywhere up above mid level. I bought the phone off a friend and I'm sure he dropped it a few times. There's scars on the corners of the side rails. I'm thinking ear speaker is damaged.
Actually, I'm looking for removal/installation instructions for the ear speaker specifically. For instance, does the ear speaker have to be soldered in place or does it snap out/snap in? I know I need to remove the lens cover first and I know how to do that.
if you are at all familiar with small electronics, it's actually quite simple. you just need to find a bit that fits the screws. there are 2 hidden under the bottom piece. just be gentle with it. the camera is connected to the board with a short wire, it pops right out, and then back in again. the speaker just slides in and out. ill look for a write up on it and post it here if i find it.
Here's a youtube video on it:
