Audio issue with internal speaker


 

Hi all,

My IC7000 seems to be suffering a somewhat intermittent issue with the internal speaker. When I powered it up yesterday the internal speaker wasn't working, after using an external speaker and fiddling around a bit it started working, then again when I switched it on this morning the same happened.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what the issue was? I'm using one of the aftermarket separation kits, not sure if that could be part of the issue?

Many Thanks,
James

The speaker jacks on the IC-7000 are small and old and may not be making the switch contacts etc.
A little cleaner might help with this.
Otherwise is wiggling the plug helps and perhaps cleaning helps, but does not fix the problem new speaker (phones) jacks might be in order.

Does your external jacks work FB?

?

If so, replacement of the speaker is easy.

Yes the external jack works fine, I may try some contact cleaner as a first attempt at fixing it.

As previously stated, replace the internal speak it has nothing to do with contacts.

I had to replace the speaker/phones jacks on mine.?
These things are pretty "cheesy" and if you use the speaker / phones jacks they get where they are intermittent in connecting the speaker and need a little wiggle to get to connect. The internal speaker disconnect is a little better, but these things are getting pretty old these days.
I have had three and ended up selling them while they are still working well, but I still miss the IC-7000 because they are just so PRETTY!
When I regret selling I look at the repair bench at the IFR 1200 Super S and remember that the sale financed it.

Internal speaker audio is looped through the external speaker jack. It’s very possible for the jack to cause a loss of internal speaker audio. Worse yet, it can tear off the circuit board. The repair or replacement is not a trivial undertaking.
