evadgib Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Hi All, I have a Nokia 5130 that I use as a spare and for silent hours emergencies. In recent days it has failed to chime when switched on and no longer rings or beeps whenever a call or message comes in; Calls & volume are otherwise normal. My assumptions therefore were: a) I accidentally made it 'silent', presumably while using it without glasses, or b ) The Kids have done something that they're not admitting to, or c) It's been dropped & damaged (see b!) I tried all the settings to no avail. I then dug out the manual (I still have the box!) but couldn't find anything there, and even did a 'factory reset' but still haven't been able to correct the problem. Can any of you techies think of anything I may have missed? The phone is otherwise serviceable and perfectly fit for the purpose in which it is used Edited October 31, 2015 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mausbiber Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I do have the same phone, but never had this problem. But - as all acoustic signals are coming from the external loudspeaker - may be this loudspeaker is broken. If you go into personalizing your profile and editing the ringtone: when you choose another ringtone by tapping ONE time - can your hear the sound? Doublecheck by activating the external loudspeaker when you are talking to another one - can you still hear the other side? Good luck. As long as my Nokia phones - yes, 2 +1 as sparepart and another C5 even with buttons - are still doing fine I prefer the handling compared to modern smartphone.

evadgib Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Thanks for your reply; a shop pretty much confirmed it's the speaker. Leaving the phone on a hard surface or placing in a metal cup to amplify the vibrations should eliminate the problem Edited November 2, 2015 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
