Frequently asked questions
Is muffled speaker the same as broken speaker?
Often it's just dust in the grille. We clean it carefully with low-pressure air and a soft brush. If the speaker still sounds muffled or rattly after cleaning, the cone is damaged and the speaker module needs replacing — usually ₹699–₹1,499 for most models.
Speaker dead but earpiece works on calls — what's wrong?
These are physically separate components. If only the loudspeaker is dead, the issue is isolated to the speaker module — a low-cost fix. If both stop working at once, it's usually an audio IC issue on the motherboard, which is a bigger repair.
Can water damage be repaired without replacing the whole phone?
Yes. Modern phones are designed with corrosion-resistant connectors. We do an ultrasonic clean of the motherboard, replace any visibly corroded modules (often the speaker), and fully test before charging. Success rate is around 75% if you bring it in within 24–48 hours.
