bishbosh Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 The speaker on my HP IPAQ 2210 has stopped working.The headphone jack still works but nothing form the speaker. For a short time I could intermitently get the speaker to work, but now nothing. I have tried soft and hard resets to no avail. Any ideas?

white90 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Speaker dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Have you been surfing for 'exotic pictures' on your ipaq? The speaker is often only connected by a couple of springs / springy metal strips pressing on to the circuit board. Might be worth taking it apart & cleaning?

GBMUD Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I have had troubles with the speakers on mobile phones going crappy - not stopping altogether mind - as a result of getting iron filings - read grinding dust - in them. Try blowing it out with an airline if it may have been in such an environment, you have nothing to loose anyway. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 To everyone (except Will & James ), thank you for your ideas. I think the speaker has probably died a death or become disconnected / dirty as Simon suggests. I do not however intend to take what is otherwise a fully working device apart - I just know what the rersult of that will be! I am about to experiment with Media player, Tom Tom and an FM device B) in the car to see if I can "bypasss" the speaker....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJL Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Charles Heres formal permission to laugh at me now I put my XDA on charge last night and now my speaker has packed up too!!!! Therefore its withdrawn from sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well, I have found a way around the problem - using my FM "device" B) I can listen to MP3's on the car radio and when Tom Tom wants to tell me something it just buts in over the top. Perfect in the Rangie as it gets a bit hard hearing the PDA speaker. Sorry to hear your speaker crapped out too James, but at least you sold it!

Sorry to hear your speaker crapped out too James, but at least you sold it! a well known student from Exeter Uni bought it! Perhaps an fm device is the answer 4 u too Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hmmm... thats an idea if I decide I can't live without the sound. Whenever I've been in a car with TomTom navigating I've wanted to shut the woman up, so I don't think it'll be a problem! Ordered a 1gb SD card earlier and I'm currently chasing a couple of bluetooth receivers on Ebay Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
