Chosen Solution
So I got a finished with this Guide and was so happy as its my first time repairing something, or so I thought as I tested it out and made a phone call where both lines of the other end could hear each other perfectly fine as usually. I came across the problem of not being able to hear notifications, so I tried playing music nothing was audible. The next day I disassemble the phone, and follow the video looking for any I may have made, the only thing that I didn’t do and the video did do was remove the old earpiece onto the new display assemble, but didn’t do that because it looked like that a new earpiece already came with the new display assemble. Guys please help me fix this issue, I don’t want all that enthusiasm to be ruined by this.
Make sure that the contacts on the display frame are lined up correctly with the loud speaker and that the flex cable is actually there. The contacts on the loud speaker look like they could be bent up to make better contact as well. This photo shows the contacts clearly.
I was thinking that this phone has two speakers but it looks like it uses the earpiece speaker as a ringer too. I could be wrong. Anyway I looked at a Nokia Lumia 635 screen assembly and it turns out you can take out the earpiece speaker from the old screen. You need to pry the eariece speaker off as it’s stuck with adhesive on top of the metal plating. Took one out successfully so it isn’t too hard. Sometimes the pre-installed one can be faulty. I have a question though: Does your phone have a speaker at the bottom back?
Nathaniel, I would suggest swapping the earpiece speakers over, as the old one is in good working order. The new earpiece maybe faulty, which is one common cause for the no sound. Be careful with taking the old one out (last thing you want to do is separate the speaker coil from it’s housing). This should fix your issue.
Hi. I would like to find out why there are three contact points for the loudspeaker…what are the third contact point for…as my phone does not have any sound..only having sound when i bridge the third one with the negative terminal (contact point) Please assist me on this matter.
