Author	W550 front speaker stopped working
kabukijep Joined: Nov 27, 2005 Posts: 185 PM	Posted: 2006-02-26 08:03 It suddenly did it i never dropped the unit, and the only thing I remember doing with it is associating the headset accessory with the "handsfree" profile (which disables the front speaker) and that's it. It's never worked since. I've done a complete master reset + reflashed with davinci (from EU2 to EU1) in the hopes that it may be a software issue, but it still persists. Hence my dislike for phones with moving parts. Anyone reckons the swivel mechanism gave or something?
