Introduction

If your Handspring Visor Edge is producing distorted audio or no sound at all, use this guide to replace the speaker.

To confirm that the faulty part is coming from the Handspring Visor Edge’s speaker, inspect the speaker port for debris that may be interfering with sound quality. A small buildup of dust can be removed using an ESD-safe brush or small dust blower.

Make sure your device is powered off before you begin.
