So I just got back from a camping trip and I turned my phone on and the speaker sounds horrible. It sounds like it might be blown or have debris in it. My phone sat in my hot car all weekend so my two questions are

Did the heat mes up my speaker?

How can I clean debris out of the speaker?

I rarely use the speaker to listen to music so it seems pretty weird that it is blown. Any advice would be great!

the speaker has a mesh over it, its very unlikely they are debris on the driver. it is likely that the sealant used to hold the cone to the coil, or surround melted. theres no way to fix this short of replacing it. if it did indeed melt, things would sound muffled and muddy.

replacing it isn't a big deal, read my thread. It's a 10 dollar quick, easy, and 5 minute process. The hardest part is undoing the screws on the back. Easy as pie. Way easier than it sounds, and it sounds easy. Don't worry about it, just replace it.
Hmm when people say its easy, you sometimes have to worry. It may be easy to you, but maybe he doesn't have the precision hand or nerves of steel it takes if you accidently poke a hole in something while your doing it. I have never taken my dinc apart, but if I did, I would be extremely careful. I followed an online tutorial on how to replace an ipod battery once and I mutilated that case. It never fit right after that... Just be careful, if you decide to do this and take your time, don't force stuff appart!
