Hi all,
My question doesn't carry any urgency; I was just wondering if anyone else has
experienced this minor (yet annoying) problem.
Have any of you ever replaced the speaker on a 1400 yourself? My sound board
is
fine (when plugged into ext. speakers) but my little mono speaker sounds
warped,
scratchy and horrid by itself.
I bought a new speaker (very cheap) quite a while back, opened up the 'book as
I
learned to when I did my G3 upgrade (feeling ever so geeky), and was quickly
stymied by the inacessibility of the speaker area. I'm afraid to go further
into
the machine for ruining it. A friendly local tech told me he'd basically have
to
tear the thing apart to get the new speaker in, and, it would cost upwards of
$60
for labor. The speaker cost like $7. Should I just go ahead and live with the
crummy one, try it again, or pay the guy and live w/o my 'book for a couple of
days (aaah!)? TIA.

Use the external or get some really good ones for less than your repair.
Youcan also use them with a walkman, cd player etc.
