My C500 external speaker has died!

[Guest b0bby]

This sucks

my c500 is only like 11 months old, that really isnt that old tbh is it :/

the external speaker decided to die yesterday when i was playing a recorded voice note.

Now I cannot hear ringtones/sms, alarm or put people on speaker phone.

If i plug the headphones in the jack, they work fine.

does anyone know what the speaker is...? i might be able to get a replacement component from RS and fit it. iv managed to get to the speaker.

Take the speaker out, it might be the cone needs pushing back in.

Is it under warranty at www.htceurope.com? Have you checked? If not I can supply a replacement entire assembly including camera CCD or just the speaker. And I'm in Manchester a lot. :)

@Bobby

I have a similar problem with the speaker and it is also mechanical. But I envy you, you still had 11 months to enjoy the sound, mine died after a month and I'm still using it now relying only on vibrate mode for me to notice incoming calls or alerts.

Please tell me how you fixed yours. I sure would love to hear sounds again from my phone.
