Better ear speaker replacement

Many devices will automatically switch off the large speaker when ear phones are plugged into them. Also there may be a switch or button or prompt on your radio to switch between regular speaker and ear phone jack. Look for that first.
Try connecting and disconnection ear phones while listening to a station and see if the problem is intermittent. If is works sometimes but not every time then it is most likely an internal connection.
You will have to access the inside of the radio to investigate further. Connect a working external music or sound source with speaker wire to the terminals inside the radio that connect to the radio's speaker. If the radio's speaker works with the external sound source then you know it is a bad connection inside your radio. If the radio's speaker does not work with the external sound source then it is most likely a faulty radio speaker. Look closely for a broken solder point or broken/disconnected wire.

No, finding spares for Headphones is difficult since they are all different, it's not the same as cabinets or speakers. You are better off buying a new pair and keeping your old ones as a spare.

Does the main speakers work on the laptop? as you know when the headphones are plugged in, the internal speakers turn off. If the laptop speakers are fine then you have a problem with the ear phone jack, it needs to be replaced, or part of the original has broken free of the motherboard and needs to be resold-ed. If on the other hand you have no sound at all, the ear phone jack has comletely broken free or the audio ic is the problem. Regardless of the issues the laptop needs to be dis-assembled to address the problem.

Hi, What controls the ear speaker of Nokia 6280is the flex of the phone.
The flex is connected to the board of the phone and it also allows the screen to display. It flex enables the ear speaker to function. So what will make the ear speaker work better is too replace the flex of the phone because it's weak .
After replacing the flex, every thing will work normal.

Take care.

I found the answer!

Call LG at 800-793-8896, they will send you a free "complimentary" replacement. I asked for two, just in case!

partsexpress.com has lots of replacement speakers including polypropylene woofers.

Same thing happened to me. For about $5, I went to Home Depot and bought 24 gauge wire (about 5") and a pack of black heat-shrink plastic sleaves (1/8th inch or 3/16) from the electrical department. The 24g wire fits perfectly through the rubber slot after you pull out the broken ear hook. Use a pair of pliars to bend the wire to shape your ear (use the broken jabra ear hook as a template). Once you have the right shape and have filed down the sharp edges, slip the heat-shrink plastic sleave over the wire, making sure you leave the end piece that goes into the slot of the headset as bare metal. Use a hair-drier on high-heat to shrink the black plastic. Mine has worked perfectly for over a year and actualy fits better than the original.

Sounds like the ear piece connection between the two halves of the phone has been broken. Your "speaker phone" function should still work because the sound comes from the back of the main body of the phone. To the best of my knowledge, this can't be fixed. You will need a new phone. I hope this helps.

i had the same exact problem with mine. Reading around it seems to be a common problem with the Sansa line. I opened mine up and found that one of the solder points that holds the ear phone jack to the main board had come loose. I soldered it back and it works like a charm. Pretty easy too. If you have a soldering iron, just open it up and resolder the solder point that has broken off. You can read instructions for disassembly here: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2006/11/sandisk-sansa-c200-disassembled.php When you have it apart, looking at it from the side, with the jack to the right, the broken point should be the rear (closest to the circuitry) point. You will see a very small, not sure what to call it, chip on the board you have to solder a connection to. here is a diagram: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e321/fuzzygoat/sansa-c200-disassembley-8.jpg Hope this helps.
