Task 5 —
Check Speaker 
Outputs
If the inputs to the audio PA are not faulty, check the speaker outputs from 
the PA.
1. Check the positive and negative speaker outputs 
AUD ITF SPK+ and AUD 
ITF SPK– at pins 3 and 8 respectively of IC202 (see Figure 15.2):
2. If the speaker outputs are correct, go to Step 5. If they are not, go to 
Step 3.
3. Check for and repair any soldering faults around IC202 
(see Figure 15.2), or else replace IC202.
4. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 123. If the repair failed, replace the main-board assembly and go 
to “Final Tasks” on page 123.
5. With the volume at maximum, check each speaker output at pins 3 
and 8 of IC202 (see Figure 15.2):
6. If the speaker outputs are correct, the fault is unknown (it could be 
intermittent); replace the main-board assembly and go to “Final 
Tasks” on page 123. If there is no AC, go to Step 7.
7. Check that C204 and R214 (see Figure 15.2) are not faulty and are 
correctly soldered. Repair any fault.
8. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 123. If the repair failed or the fault could not be found, replace 
the main-board assembly and go to “Final Tasks” on page 123.
