No loudspeaker sound AFTER Midplate replacement
- One day, my loudspeaker made a pop and I could no longer get any sound from it. I purchased a new midplate with the speaker in it from a reputable supplier that many have used on this board.
I installed the midplate yesterday and I still have NO SOUND!
How could this be a hardware issue as I have replaced everything but the main board?
I am on .167. Could upgrading to .282 help? I am so bummed out by this as I rescued this Bold from certain death and the only thing that doesnt work is the speaker. It would be a shame to have to throw it away because of the damn speaker!
Any advice at all would be appreciated.08-13-09 10:20 AMLike 0 - did you check the speaker contacts to make sure they are actually touching the motherboard?
if your old popped and the new one doesnt work, there is a slight chance the motherboard might have some defect. try checking where the speaker makes contact to see if there is any stain or something out of the usual08-13-09 02:21 PMLike 0 - well its weird on the main board....where the speaker makes contact...it has a mark. Full disclosure, this bb was completely submerged in Sunscreen (dont ask) and I cleaned it with an alcohol bath.
I am a little worried that the alcohol has worn down the gold (copper?) contact and that the speaker contact is actually rubbing it off as it makes contact. I cant imagine that is true. Alas, I have no speakerphone!
Im searching for how to possibly build up the gold (copper?) contact again if that is the issue. I am certainly no electrical engineer, but its the only thing I can think of. are there any diagnostic tools I can dl to see whats wrong?
Im despondant about this...any help...please08-13-09 10:15 PMLike 0
