DIY speaker replacement?

---

I've had the hero for several months. Love it. All that there good stuff. Today, I was listening to Pandora while at work (like I do everyday). Then, the song started cutting in and out. I assumed it was because I was in a basement. I got outside. Same problem. I've rebooted the phone several times. No sounds through the external speaker seem to work. Speaker phone included. The ear speaker works normal for making calls and such.

Does anyone know of a place that sells replacement speakers? Or if you've had this problem. How much does Sprint charge to replace the speaker? Will they?

Should still be under warranty with sprint. Speaker has blown on several peoples phones.

Before you go to the trouble of having sprint replace your phone I would suggest you listen to music thats on your sdcard for a day. Being as it streams from the internet I have had Pandora cut out on me fairly often when it syncs data.

was the first thing i tried when it happened. music on the phone, notifications, and speaker phone. along with anything related to the external speaker. doesnt work. :(

Just thought I'd update. They fixed it. At no charge. I don't know if it was because I have insurance or if it was warranty, but they did fix it for "free".

Same for me. Speaker blew, I reloaded 2.1 and took it in, they replaced the speaker (or replaced something) for free in about an hour. Wish they would have let me watch the procedure though.

I had a similar problem on my first hero with the headphone jack cutting out. Sprint replaced the phone with no problems
