Loudspeaker no longer working

[stoo]

I've got a bit of a problem with my hermes. For quite a long while now the speakers have just not been working. The speaker for the phone works but the ringer and loudspeaker don't work. Initially after a soft reset it would work for about half an hour again and then stop working.

I don't think it's software related as I have flashed my phone a couple of times since it started.

If anyone could help me out with this at all I would be incredibly grateful as it is intensely annoying not being able to hear calls coming in.

Thanks,
Stuart

I had a similar problems with the speaker. It was because there is a cable from the speak to the mainboard that can become disconnected. I dropped my phone and the connector became lose. If you take you keyboard part of the phone apart you will see the small cable running from the speak to a port on the board, just reconnect it and it should work.

Tim is right. Do a search and it will lead you to a thread with pics so you can see how to fix it. It's a simple repair. I've had to do it twice on mine in a year.
