syclone Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Several time ago I had problems with the NXT's speaker. It looks like if the speaker has corrosionrust or something like that.Is there any cheap repairs? I will post photos later. It doesn't produces the standard sounds like turning on or click and the sound files from all the programs are also in silence. (the programs work well) Edited April 11, 2015 by LXF Quote
dr_spock Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 If you adjusted the speaker volume all the way up and still get no sounds, you could have your parents contact LEGO Customer Service. LEGO may send you a replacement NXT in return for the broken one back. It is not hard to replace the speaker assuming that is the problem and not the sound circuitry. You would have to find a new speaker of similar diameter. Try LEGO CS first. Quote

LEGO CS fixed my NXT last summer. I guess I got lucky that they still had spares in stock. The speaker on the NXT is not very loud. An earplug could be a good idea assuming you don't need your NXT to move around by itself without dragging speaker wires. On my version of the NXT, the speaker is mounted to the white holder for the LCD screen. It looks like there are black and red wires going to it.

And,how it works?(the process of replacement) Soldering is a good skill to have. I contacted LEGO Customer Service through the LEGO website for Canada. There was form to fill out with your information and explanation of what's wrong. You can also call them if there is a support telephone number for your country. A few days later they contacted me by phone that they were sending me a replacement NXT and a prepaid envelope to ship the old NXT back to them. I received the replacement NXT a couple days later. The return envelope eventually arrived a week or so later. Unfortunately it had pre-U.S. Postage which doesn't work in Canada. I ended up paying a couple dollars out of pocket for the postage. Overall, I was happy to have a working NXT for the cost of postage. Good luck. Quote

dr_spock Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I wonder if they will replace my broken micro motor this way. Micro motors have been out of production for a long time, much longer than NXT. The probability that LEGO still have end of life support for them or have any in their repair stock is very low. I guess it doesn't hurt to drop them a line to confirm. Edited April 13, 2015 by dr_spock Quote
