View Full Version : No sound from external speaker; Could a ROM update help?

I have read other threads here related to this, with results from "still mute" to "if I remove the stylus a certain way, it works," to soft-resetting every 45 minutes.

After 2 days I'm in the "still mute" category. The phone speaker works, and occasionally I hear the odd pop or blip from the external, but I still have no ring tones, no alarms, no music, no audible notifications at all. This is after two hard resets.

The only thing I haven't tried is updating the ROM. Do you think it's worth a shot, or is this definitely a hardware problem?

I got mine from a seller on ebay, and I've emailed him about the warranty. Assuming the worst, how much might it cost to have this fixed?

same problem here with dead external speaker. if I soft-reset and turn the volume really low, the speaker will play (barely audible). Turning the volume up will kill the speaker until the next reset.

note that a re-flash (upgrade AND downgrade) of the ROM had NO effect on this problem

time to send in the TyTN for repair...
