No sound ?

Menu/system/ sound..  is everything on at at least 80%?  Yes a factory reset should have reset the volumes but who knows??

Hi Don,

Can you hear any background noise out of the speaker?  There should always be a little hiss in the PS2 audio circuit when the engine is turned on.  If not, the speaker isn't getting any output.  That could be caused by a broken wire, failed audio amp, or a loose pin on the board connector.

Hi Dave:

There is no sound at all coming from the speaker.  No hum or background noise.  I have had failures where you could very faintly hear the sounds but in this case, nothing.  Inside, I could not see any loose wires or connectors.

Thanks,

Don

A little harder to do with no sound to start, but can you do a feature reset in conventional (1 W and 5 B in sequence).  Audio amps usually don't fail without a specific event such as grounded speaker lead or terminal, AC spike, or a bad smoke unit fan.

It can be repaired at the component level.  Really not much more you can do with out swapping in a new speaker or swapping boards to another engine.

A service tech can test and repair the boards as necessary.  I can do it if you don't have someone local.   G
