Treao 650 wired microphone problem - Treo Forum

nw_runner · 05-26-2008, 01:24 PM

I have a 650 with a bad headset jack. The jack was completely non-functional until I followed the dissassebly instructions (Treo 650 Tips, Tricks and Hacks: Treo 650 Audio Jack Fix, Part 1., and links therein) and got the earpiece part working again be resoldering one of the connections to the motherboard. The rest of the jack looks ok though the microphone on the headset does not work. The phone mic works just fine.

This problem is repeatable with two different headsets which work fine in other phones. The page above does not give much info on the layout of the microphone part of the connector.

Any advice? I'd like to squeeze a bit more time out of this phone if I can.

Thanks!

welcome to treonauts nw runner gald you are here with us. The headset jack on the 60 650 680 700 etc has been a oice of work since the days of old and you would think that palm would have done something to remedy the situationphone jack. The problem is treo hardware and not the headset. You already done more then most including me would have been willing to try. I dont use the headset for answering calles or listening to muic. I do have a BT headset samsung wep500 which works well with my 750. Use the phone ditch the headset idea.
