content: Hi again,I have an S5 which produces no sound through either the top or bottom loudspeaker. The top loudspeaker produces a constant, very faint high pitched squeal.I have tried:1. Using the housing of another S5, as this housing contains the top loudspeaker.2. Replacing the bottom loudspeaker with a new one.The symptoms do not change after the above changes. The phone works fine apart from this.I have a soldering station, multimeter, hot air gun, handtools, etc.Thanks for any troubleshooting and repair help.

content: When you reboot the phone: Does it make normal sounds during the boot phase? (Many phones give a little melody while booting... Hopefully yours does!)

content: There is no boot jingle when turning on the phone. The faint squeal is there as soon as the device is turned on. It has Lineage 9 installed.Software fixes I have tried include a full reset.

content: I finally gave up on my S5. Its battery kept running down (even changing batteries didn't help). Now I use it to play games and see the weather report.I replaced it with the A42 5G (or is that A24 5G) and it's a lot better.

content: I've found that actually the ear speaker is working (not main speaker though). Turning up the 'in call volume' in setting I can hear it over the squealing sound. No such luck with the ringer volume, or playing music/Youtube videos though, which produce no sound at all through the main speaker.

content: I have found out that the MB is completely missing a 'Low frequency filter' component. It must have fallen off at some point.Anyone know where I can get one of these?EDIT: According to the service manual this component is an 'inductor', and from what I gather is the same component as the one next to it. Seems to be possible to buy this component online if you search for the part number (2703-004597).https://mega.nz/67a9bdf9-8fff-449f-95a6-f5937fdda781I guess if you have two S5s you could transplant one to the other (to the detriment of your other S5 of course).If it is a filter I'm not sure why it would be a low pass filter (inductors behave as low pass filters don't they) rather than a high pass filter, but at any rate this guy seems to have bridged the contacts and his speaker works:
