Speak/Headphone socket broken
Hi all, My S/P socket has worked lose and I do not think it is properly connected to the PCB anymore. I have also lost sound on the speaker. Any ideas if I can: 1- Bypass the socket to get the speaker to work. 2- Get Bluetooth audio, I tried and I can pair a speaker but it gives no audio. 3 - Any other others? I am located in the United Kingdom. Many thanks Carl ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? |
You¡¯re going to have to reflow the pcb solder connections on the audio jack or possibly replace the jack entirely.? My understanding of the current state of Xiegu¡¯s Bluetooth implementation is that it works for things like transceiver control but not for audio.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThat happened on my unit but with the Key jack.? It is mounted identically as the speaker/phone jack and it¡¯s a joke.? The printed circuit traces on the board are the only thing holding these jacks to the board, thus, they are easily broken free after some usage.? Reflowing the connections are not likely feasible as the circuit trace has probably been ripped off the circuit board.? In that case you¡¯ll have to use some fine wire to solder the jack connections to a point further back from the original trace connection point.? If you¡¯re lucky, only the solder joint gave way and left the trace undamaged ¨C that can be reflowed.? Just cement the jack to the board to give it a fighting chance of staying put. ? On mine I removed the audio jack before it suffered the same fate, then cemented both jacks back to the board, wired the broken connections, and then figured out how to ensure no side loading tension was transferred from the plug through the jack to the board and longer. ?

I broke the headphone jack in my G90, which appears to be the same part, and I replaced it with a jack I bought from China, and it is back in service with no issues. They are surface mount, but the attachment points are pretty large. With Xiegu, no two radios are the same, YMMV. If it is out of warranty, give it a shot at replacement. Look at the ones in the repair kit in the radioddity store, and order a dozen of them for 2.00 from china.

Hey Del,
?
The same thing happened to me today. I was holding the radio between my knees (big mistake) and broke the keying jack. Upon internal inspection, I saw that the surface mount points had all pull free from the board along with the jack. I realize I must find the points on smd filled pc board surface to wire back to a cemented jack or even a wired jack cable. Do you have a schematic or remember the TRS/DotDashGround points accessible on the board to do that? I don¡¯t even have any pad availability for tracing.? |
