No sound from PS 2 diesel

It doesn't sound good....  You could go to the sound menu and make sure everything is turned up,,, Maybe even try  a feature reset and make sure   the sound key (on/off) hard-key on the remote is on

Yes I did turn up volume. I also made sure the protocast was off.

First, disconnect the speaker from the PS2 board. Then, briefly touch a 9 volt battery across the speaker terminals and see if you get a click. If you do, the speaker s OK and the PS2 board's audio amp is suspect.

I would imagine the pinched speaker wire took out the Audio amp.  It can be repaired.  G

I checked the speaker and did hear the click so guess it is the audio amp. 

G is this a component I can replace myself?  (I was trained on soldering and repaired military circuit boards)  If so, I would just need to know which component(s) to replace.  It doesn't look like you can easily separate the two circuit boards though.

maybe just use a single AAA battery for this test on these small speakers. Like Barry mentions "briefly"! You don't want to burn the voice coil.

Why wouldn't you just test continuity of the voice coil with an ohm meter? If it's open, the speaker is fried. If it's a 4 ohm speaker, shouldn't it test close to 4ohms? Why send unregulated battery power across the voice coil?

George,

It's quicker and doesn't require looking at two things at once. A quick touch and it's done - no harm, no foul.

You can get a reading across a coil that is still intact. That does not mean it's OK. I've seen many blown speakers that the coil rubs and yet still tries to work.

Not true. I am not sure who told you that, but I did it just a couple of weeks ago when one of my speakers blew. Blown speaker showed open. New speaker read continuity. You may be right that it won't measure the full 4 ohms, but it will show continuity.

no sense reasoning with you, you're right. It has to be then.
