i siad it was coming and here it is. i couldn't find a video online for this so i decided to make my own. i take apart at least 100 phones a week and hadn't taken my phone apart yet so here it goes.
the nokia 6300 speaker is an almost identical replacement speaker for the incredible. for 2.99 with free shipping you can get this and fix it yourself. since i hate having to send my phone away just like the rest of the world. any questions comments or concerns let me know. here is the link to the ebay seller and the youtube video. i hope you enjoy.
EBAY SPEAKER LINK
my grandma is already broken.
Nice I may just do this just to clean the camera lense its loaded with dust.
Thanks for the vid. The instructions worked great. Got speaker and tools for $2.99 shipped.
Great vid, I clicked on the link and it said it was removed. Any other way to buy this speaker?
I was able to get the parts from "global parts direct" or something had to order at least 5, but the total came out to around 10 dollars.
Replacement went smoothly and I'm still wondering what caused the speaker to blow out.

thanks, this is a great post
now if we could only find a good UPGRADED speaker for like $5 that would be sweet lol.
Does the nokia speaker have the same audio quality or what?

I was just thinkin the same thing.
I'm not sure how to describe the sound from the nokia speaker, but I feel like it makes my phone pulse more when sound is playing. It still as loud, but it still sounds better than a blown speaker.
did this and now phone cant find a network? wifi and everything else work fine
tried putting in old speaker and going with no speaker.
any help?
Is there a significant advantage to buying the Nokia speaker over the Incredible replacement speakers that you can also find on eBay? Aside from price of course. My speaker just blew and replacing the speaker beats buying a new phone, especially since the only replacement phone I'd be able to afford would be a disappointment after having an Incredible.

man...is this a defect on all T-Mobile wings?!? This is my third t-mobile wing with the handset speaker that went out. Is there a site that sells replacement handset speakers, cause i know how to take apart the wing and replace the speaker?
ugh..this sucks, now i have to use speakerphone.
I've never had my speaker go bad. Weird.
Do you mean the internal phonespeaker (the one you press against your right ear ) or the wired one? Oh wait, you're talking about taking things apart - hmm I guess you might try calling one of the HTC repair centres? Are you within your warranty? I think you must be, because most htc phones ship with 24 months of warranty.
I don't know which speaker you're talking about but my external one went out couple weeks ago and had to get a new phone from T-Mobile. It would make sounds but it was very "scratchy".
the one you put your ear on....freakng sucks
Hmm...
I have had my Wing since last June..
I work in a rugged area..Geotechnical Engineering & Field..working with lot of dirty & nasty materials..and I frequently clean my phone with a wet cloth(which is probably rather foolish)
The handset's receiver speaker works fine on mine.. the speakerphone on the back is not as clear..too much reverberation or something... but the headset is probably the best way to hear calls.
Anyways... with all the crap I put my phone through.. I don't notice any difference in either of the speakers performance from the first day I bought it.
Maybe you just had some bad luck?
Friends,
Just recently purchased through AT+T the S9 Motorola bluetooth wireless headset. I was wondering what is the difference in sound for the Motorola S9 compared to the S9-HD?
Please advise.
tvos
When I first read your thread title I thought I was going to have to solve a complicated math equation.
The answer is obviously 2.
what is the difference, that is what i am asking...!
do you really hear the difference between the two bluetooth headsets?
tvos
Lol @ X2D.
The difference is between sound, battery life, and the ability to handle sweat. They both suck at reception, although the S9HD does have better bass. I like that the S9HD can handle sweat, while soon enough, S9's will die from it.
I decided to bail on the s9 and order the s9+hd... i tested s9 and it does sound really good and with srs working (extra bass) no complaints here.. but I do want to use this for working out and not having to spend $$ every six months because it shorts out due to water.

Bail? As in return? Give up? Put in a drawer? lol.
return it...while awaiting my s9+hd..
i used my $50.00 refund from the fuze I purchased towards the s9 which at&t sold it for $100.00 costing me $50.00. I found a site on-line for $70.00 which in the end costs me $20.00 for the s9+hd
tvos
S9+hd + srs wow
Just recently returned the S9 for S9+HD and very impressed!
With these two applications it is definitely well worth the investment. I didn't have any problems with reception even up to 30ft.
I definite must have hardware!
tvos
I also upgraded from the regular S9 to the S9-HD and have been very happy. I can't honestly say that I can tell about the sound quality, but the reception and fit is better.
you should definitely install SRS WOW on the diamond... its an incredible difference..
tvos
Never had a problem at all with reception on my S9. Never any static, and works a great distance from the phone.
I'm a fat sweaty guy, and I use mine at the gym. NEVER had a problem with it, but I hear others do. I'm going to assume people just leave the usb cover open or something when they use them.
I had an S9 like a year ago with my Dash and I had to return it twice. I sweat ALOT and it could not handle it. Hopefully the S9HD is better.
is there a carrying case to protect these headphones? i had to return my headphones because there was a rattle coming from the left ear piece.
other than that - i normally clean the stereo headphones from sweat so that way they will be clean.. preventive maintenance..
i have noticed after having the headphones on for awhile, the ears start to ache a bit..

how do you carry the headphones around? do you use a bag, I am afraid that they will be damaged in transit.. I was wondering if there was a case that will protect them?
also, do you get a rattle from the headphones? i RMA'd my first headphone, recieved the new one.. same problem.. or it might be the ear bud.
please advise
tvos
I have a pair now that I use on a daily basis. I have had little problems with them. They sound great, pair to phone easy. (did come across one rom they didn't work with, but that was not the headphones fault)
I picked mine up not long ago for only $60.
mine ran me around $79.00 - I picked up the S9+HD and not the S9 which is a older version.
I noticed a littel rattle in the earpiece.. not sure if it is the rubber part or something inside. I rma'd the first one back to shopcell and recieved new one.. same thing.. so I question this.
do you have this issue? I am a jogger.
tvos
Have any you trie the JayBirds? How do they compare to the S9 HD?

Holy crap what are you people doing to these things. I have the S9 and I have personally had 0 problems. I use them to mow the grass, I even wear them with my motorcycle. Great sound and reception. Never a problem with carrying them around as i pull them out of my ears and let them hang on my neck.
Now the only real issue i have is the speaker head is a little big for my ears, so after a few hours of them in my ears start to hurt. other than that my use of them has been great. Sorry to hear you all have had issues with them.
I ordered a s9 via ebay (31bucks + free shipping). I'm hoping to see it this coming week.

I owned a S9 . By now are unusable. Is a matter of time when controls start to fail when is exposed to sweat. Besides this, I think are great and unique design. Hopefully Motorola can address this problem.
I am thinking about do-it-yourself (DIY) speaker replacements for the TF101.
I pulled mine out and found the plug connector is part similar to JST 04SUR-32S. It is 0.8mm pitch so the wires have to be thin.
I have found a couple different speakers that fit. The square dimensions must be under 25mm x 11mm (12 might work), and thickness is unsure but must be under 7mm. I also will evaluate round at 11mm diameter.
Examples:
http://www.veco.com.tw/
square speakers
The part number on speakers in the tablet is "tek 1505". I think the 05 stands for 5 ohms, just a guess.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Let us know how it goes.. I have one speaker not working, I might want to try that too.
Thanks
Awesome. I am really looking forward to this. If you find some speakers that perform really good, let us know the specifications. I really would like some better speakers.
really looking forward to this, really would like some bass enhanced speakers...
Old news: Got my speakers pulled, need to test originals on an oscillator.
New news:
Got replacement speakers, but they are a little to big. Will see if they fit next time I open my tablet.
Got replacement plugs for wiring harness, 04SUR-32S. I think it is a match, and will test fit next time I open my tablet.
This morning I made a replacement wiring harness with some top quality AWG 30 wire and a replacement plug (04SUR-32S). The quality of my wire seems better than original, so I might replace the original wiring harness if the original speakers test okay.
I got my plugs from these guys: http://ecommerce.tlcelectronics.com/jst/04SUR-32S
So, I have a few extras (min order 100) - selling some. Recommend a few (5?) because it takes practice to crimp in the wires. Also, I might make a few replacement wiring harnesses - and sell some wiring harnesses instead.
At this point, I am not 100% sure they will fit in the circuit board but they *look* like a match to the original. PM me for info.
Any news on this?
I'm very interested in this too.
I found a supplier of speakers that are the same size as ASUS. So, I asked for a quote & samples over a week ago and I have not heard back. Waiting.
I also have a few varieties both larger & smaller than the standard speakers. In about one week I will be doing more hardware hacking.
Other people's thoughts and work interest me too. Ideas?

I replaced the speakers on my A101 a few months ago. I usually use Digikey for components, but Mouser had a surprising amount of speakers. Have you looked for stock there yet? In my testing, all speakers around this size have a sharp linear falloff under 100Hz, so I focused on getting the highest SPL efficiency, I think I ended up around 96dB/V.
P.S. Why are you bothering with new plugs for the speakers? I usually just desolder the old ones and use their harnesses. Not an attack, just wondering.
How difficult is it to disassemble and reassemble this tablet? I asked the guys over at ifixit if they were going to do a teardown of Transformer but they said they have no plans at this point. Does the battery look DIY if it is ever needed?
just wondering how this is going? i need to replace a speaker due to blowing out 1 of them and not being able to send off under warranty.
frankly dont know enough about this sort of thing to complete on my own but can test and contribute to get this done.
I did find a site with possible replacement speakers, but lost the link so trying to find it again.
anyway ill post when I find it, hope this is still being worked on!
Wondering why you don't look at an enclosure/driver that works....IE the iPad...not the 2.
What did they do that ASus obviously didn't??
The transformer is a consumption device, and by god, as such it had better deliver sight , sound and recording of same with steller results...zsent mine back and returned to my Ipad2 for that very reason.
... hoping the crappy audio I/o will be solved with the next iteration...
I really wanted the Xformer to be a winner

Update: I never got reply from speaker supplier. Could use more suggestions on suppliers. So, I will have to go with what I have found already - 2 sizes slightly off.
Great suggestion hesynergy. I will check out the iPad 2 speakers.
I am still planning to do mod in near future. If someone else wants to attempt you can PM me and I will make you a speaker wiring harness. You can remove the originals and try a second set without damaging originals.
Other distractions at the moment. I got two 4000mAh 7.4v batteries (8000mAh total) that might (should) fit in the dock. I need to disassemble the dock or tablet to measure the power connector so I might do speakers at the same time.
I will post everything when going on ....
found that link..
http://www.speaker-tw.com/manufacturer/speaker/rectanguler%20speaker.htm
admittedly, i haven't measured the speakers yet so dont know if these are anywhere near the size needed.
and also just realised this isnt a uk supplier, but none the less may come in handy.
just emailed asus asking for help. hopefully get a good response
I've been following this thread. I love hardware hacks. Too bad there isn't more of it spread among popular devices. I have to admit, I was hoping to hear a success story like, "I've done it! I integrated the port design from my Bose Wave radio and my Transformer has some b-b-b-bass!"
Till then, i'll keep lurking the progress here.
Hi Guys
I want to replace my speakers as well. The left speaker does not work
I sent my transformer for RMA and they sent it back and again the speaker does not work. On the paper I received they mentioned that they changed a sponge.
I can not be bother to send my transformer back to asus.
Have you found a speaker replacement and the hardness?
well asus responded with very little help. they gave me a list of possible sites to find the part, but none of them had it
My left speaker also doesn't work, but when i squeeze left side it works. So I wonder how difficult is to open device and did anybody succeed in repairing original speaker. I guess resoldering some connection is all it takes.
I am also hoping somebody will find better speakers, but just having both spakers working would be a great improvement for me.
Hi Divvet
Can you share these web sites that you got from Asus?
I think these speakers are really bad quality. I hope Asus to understand that
and to start replacing them with a better quality.
If someone find a good quality speaker and to actually fit I would be interested in
Lets see the results

Mine did the same but eventually it stopped, i took my tab apart and it didnt seem to be the connection itself, i think it was the actual speaker, unfortunately i dont know enough about repairing speakers.

Alright, so I don't want to wait for Asus to repair the blown speakers on my tablet. I opened it up today and took a quick look, and it looks like you can pretty much replace the N7 speakers with just about anything. The connector to each speaker is just two wires, which I can easily solder to.
The only problem is that I have no idea where I might be able to buy decent speakers for a tablet. Are there retailers in the US that sell small components for tablets and laptops? Should I buy online instead? Has anyone else tried this yet?
Ideally it'd be cool to replace the speakers with something of admirably better quality, or just anything that is guaranteed to last longer than three weeks.
EDIT: I ordered some speakers from an Eee netbook on ebay. If they work, I'll post pictures.
Lol, waiting to receive new speaker will take longer then replacing your nexus 7

i have blown speaker too.
how bad is yours? mine only start to show distortion if volume >40%.
anything less than that speaker is clear and working fine.
i opened up the case and look at it as well.
realize the blown speaker is the one on the left (when screen is facing downwards,and charging port facing towards you)
wonder if i just cut the left 2 wires that powers the left defective speaker, will my problem be solved.

Both mine are blown, and the distortion happens at all volumes. I ordered some speakers out of an Eee netbook, no idea if they're going to actually fit. However, the nice thing is that it was only $5, and the connector on the end of them looks identical so I might be able to save myself some of the soldering work. I'll post some pictures if I manage to get them to work when they arrive sometime next week.
Are blown speaker covered by warranty?

Probably, yeah. I haven't heard of anyone that hasn't be able to get it repaired under warranty. The only problem is that Asus hasn't responded to my RMA request after submitting it 5 days ago, so something tells me I'm going to be much better off replacing the speakers myself.
I dont this they are blown just expanded?" I opened mine up thinking to replace them too but I simply pushed them down and they have been working better since

Ok guys I had a perfectly good Nexus 7. No screen lift or anything. Then one day I started a youtube video and my speaker decided it didn't want to handle the sound and blew. Very upsetting. Anyway it seems pretty easy to replace myself, already got a RMA from Asus but dont really wanna send it in. Problem is I can't find the OEM replacement speakers ANYWHERE! Does anyone know where to find some?

I saw where someone on here modded Eee PC speakers into his device. Supposedly they were quieter than the N7 speakers, but it was interesting. I'm in the same boat as you, my speakers blew out of nowhere and now my sound is atrocious. I'm probably just gonna go ahead and RMA, though.

You mean this one?
The biggest problem I had was ensuring that I had enough clearance to fit the speakers in. Most laptop and netbook speakers won't fit, so you need to take some measurements of the existing speakers before you decide on a set to install. The other problem you'll have is determining what kind of sound quality to expect from various speakers, since there's no specs posted for most laptop and netbook components like this. My first attempt with the Eee PC speakers only cost me about $5, but the end result left a lot to be desired, and they're not quite as good as the original speakers.
If you're comfortable working with small wires and understand some basic electronics, your best option would be to custom order some speakers from a components supplier like Digikey or Mouser Electronics. I did that a few days ago and will update the tutorial when I get them installed.
