Speaker Issues

---

While playing Pandora this weekend the speaker on the right side of the device quit working, when it first happened I gave it a little tap with my finger and it tried to come back on. So my question is has anyone else had issues with speakers quitting and second how hard is it to take this unit apart so i can check for a loose connection before I have to send it back.

What ROM are you running?

My guess is ElocityMod 1.3 and using DSP Manager to crank the volume up a little higher.

Did you notice any distortion before the speaker bought the farm?

If my guess was correct, the speaker is most likely toast. Distortion usually = clipping (when the waveform sent to the speaker is over amplified and gets choppy, sending a square waveform instead of a nice smooth sine wave) this is realllllly bad for the voicecoil of the speaker and not repairable 99% of the time without replacing the speaker itself.

There is a teardown thread in the A7 General section that may be of use to you.
