First thing, it may not be the speaker. A common problem in this case is the headphone jack. The built in switch that switches that turns off the speaker can often get jammed. The first thing to try is to plug in headphones and verify you have sound through them. Then try plugging and unplugging the headphones several times to see if it will release the switch. If that doesn't work then you'd need to open it up. Take a look at this google search for tips: <http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=%22palm+tx%22+%22tak e+apart%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8> See if any of them tell you how hard it is. Look at access to both the speaker and the headphone jack. If you do open it up then try connecting the headphones across the speaker's terminals to see if the signal is getting that far. This will tell you if it's the headphone jack or the speaker. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway"

I've heard that some people have used very thin insulated wire to solder the connections so that it can never get dirty and spoil again. I'll be trying that next time I do mine. -- -Toby Add the word afiduluminag to the subject to circumvent my email filters.

I don't have one that small.
