Hi,

I recently bought a used n900 and have been using it for a few weeks.

I messed around with and installed a few applications and things and it worked great until yesterday. My earpiece stopped working and I cannot hear anyone until I use the speaker phone. It was working fine until I installed htop and swappolube but I am not sure if one of this programs caused the problem or not.

So I tried re-flashing my device but it did not work at all and the earpiece still does not work.

Since I bought my phone used, I don't have a warranty with it so I took it apart. I tested the earpiece speaker by applying a small voltage to it and seeing if it would make a clicking sound when I touched the leads of the speaker and it did. So i think there's nothing wrong with the earpiece speaker.

So i think there might be a deeper issue with the hardware or software.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks
