[Q] Help! Defy external speaker repair (not the earpiece speaker) - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My Defy+ (MB526) does not have any sound when playing back audio files (Music) nor the ringing sound can be heard when the phone rings.
I am certain, the "external" speaker is dead. However, where exactly is this external speaker located?
Initially, I thought the ear piece speaker is the same thing, so I purchased a couple of spares, opened the phone and tried to replace it. The internet have lots of instructions on how to replace the "ear piece speaker". Obviously that didn't work, nor can I see anywhere on the electronic board a thing that looks like an external speaker.
Pls help me... It's confusing.
Thanks in advance.....

im on the same problem

Thanks! I see it now.
I managed to separate the board from the rear housing. (I needed to remove the sim and the SD card and it was easier to separate it, not sure if that was indeed true)
Once I can see the speaker part (looks different and also larger than ear piece), I finally knew which part to purchase from eBay.
Thanks again!

Back mini speaker for Magician

I broke my backspeaker.
A few days ago The sound of my backspeaker began to go bad. Somtimes it was bad and when I shook the phone it was working. But lateron the shaking wasnt working so i opened my phone and tryed to clean the contacts. When I pushed the surface of the speaker it worked so I am sure its the speaker and not the software.

I've read somwhere in this forum that you can replace the speaker with a Nokia speaker. It's better and available at many places. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18384&highlight=speaker+nokia.
But I don't know if that's about the back-speaker???
Im sorry to say that that subject was about the front speaker.
Im still looking for the backspeaker.
Thanks anyway for the reply
More unlikely to find it. Need to try your service center for Help!

It's the same as a blueangel main speaker but with a longer lead.

You would need to splice the wires longer.

I did it !!!
I replaced the back speaker with a speaker from alcatel ot511
I used a solder iron (how do you translate a "soldeerbout" in inglish) to coneect the 2 wires to the speaker. And voila .... there was sound.
Its not to loud but the quality seems a bit better.
btw the speaker cost me 2 euro so thats a lot cheaper than the 30 euro you pay for the original xda speaker

In Call Front/Rear speaker

Hello,
When I'm in a call and put the phone on speaker, the HD uses the back speaker.
I was wondering if there was a solution to use the front speaker instead.
To me that would make more sense because the mic is also more to the front.
Sorry if there's already a solution for this, I've searched the forums, but couldn't find anything about this.
All I could find were things about the quality of the speaker
H.
Anyone????
meneer van leeuwen.
I think the HD has only 1 loud speaker at the back and that the speaker at the front can't produce enough dB's
Maybe you have orginal plastic on phone??
Ok that's a good reason
There's no plastic left on the phone, maybe it got stuck in my ears or something

Replacement ear speaker - where to buy? Found one for my old G1...

I replaced the housing on my old BB Pearl, and my G1 (which was way, way more complicated).
I've got a Magic now, and the ear speaker is acting up. When I make a call, sometimes the ear speaker is just dead - I can switch to the speakerphone no problem, and then when I switch back I usually have sound in the ear speaker, but I suspect physical speaker damage because sometimes it'll cut out and I can squeeze the top of the headset just right and it'll come back. Crossing my fingers that it's not something else electronic in the board.
I want to replace it - and while I've got it apart, may as well give it a new body since they are only $10-$15. (wish I could upgrade it to the Fender body with the 3.5mm headphone jack lol)
Problem is, although I can find new housings all over the place (including eBay), I can't find the replacement speaker anywhere but some GlobalPartsDirect website, and they have a 5-unit minimum wholesale order quantity.
Any suggestions on where to look? Thanks in advance!!
Bump on this-
I had PM'd a seller on Ebay who said they had one - just waited over 3 weeks for it to arrive, only to discover they sent me a replacement speakerphone speaker.
I could not have been clearer with them that it was the ear speaker that was not working.
Any help is appreciated - I now need to resolve this urgently, as I can't use my phone as a phone, and I'm postponing all sorts of things that I need to resolve - of course the timing is such that I need to liquidate some things and I can't set up Craigslist ads because I can't talk on my phone. Please help!

Ear speaker replacement

Hi,
just in case, if someone needs a replacement for the ear speaker (Speaker in the phone for calling someone), I had to replace mine, because it clang.
So I ordered this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300635864368
It works like a new one!
Probots
Brilliant, that's exactly what I'm looking for, my sound has gone very distorted through the speaker.
Are there any instructions for fitting it without destrying the phone?
Thanks
Mike

Lg v20 speaker problem

Hi. I have v20 and my speaker fidnt work.i can hear some noise once in awhile.i open the device and reconnect the speaker.then comnect.and agold piece accidentally broken.my question is if i replace anew microphone it should work?
I don't know it might be the motherboard contacts and not the speaker. Actually I had mine open recently and I slightly broke one of the contacts but not completely so it still works.
The pic you posted does't show the speaker contact pins .That one you see there is for something else, a ground pin or something.
Sure, if the contacts on the mobo are still high enough a speaker replacement would solve the issue. If the speaker is the problem of course - it may be the contacts are not touching the speaker properly.
I would test the speaker before buying a new one with an old earphone cable if you have one. You'd just strip the ends and place them on the speaker contacts while plugged into an audio player and see if you hear anything. Oh btw, strip off the felt grille off the speaker, it sounds way better that way.

My speaker also stopped working a few months ago. I bought a new speaker but it still doesn't work so I summer that something on the motherboard is fried. It may also have been caused by the resurrection I had to pull off using QFIL around the same time. Maybe something firmware-related.
I replace the speaker, but it still doesnt work. I guess because of the gold ribon that broke..is there any way to fix it??
Anyone??
loudspeaker not working - incoming calls not ringing
Did you solve the issue ???
I apparently have the same issue with my chinese refurbished v20
The strange thing is the audio jack for my earphones was not working (but I didn't really care because I don't need it) and now it's working ! ...
