Right speaker doesn't work 1/3 of the time

[Blue Protoman]

Title. I've tested this on the built-in button tester (which makes a buzzing noise in the respective speakers when you hold Left or Right on the D-Pad), and it seems that sometimes, my right speaker just does not make sound. I've also noticed that the right side of my unit fits a wee bit less flush together than the left side; it creaks when I press it down. Could they be related?

Whip out the ol screwdriver and tighten the sucker up.


Screws are under the battery.


Not to sure about the speaker...

That fixed the case issue. I'm about to test the speaker. Thanks!


EDIT: Didn't help the speaker too much. I'll try the other screws and report back.

I doubt any screws fill fix the speaker - might be a bad solder blod.


Try carefully knocking on the lid while playing music. Does that change anything?

Yes, it does.
