No sound

You can probably restore this your self. Just insert and extract the
headphone plug a number of times quickly. Most PPCs have an issue that the
mechanical bits that cut out the speaker when headphones are inserted get
stuck occasionally. Exercising (or exorcising) them usually breaks it free.

I also have a iPAQ 3975, that lost sound from the speaker. Headphones work,
but no speaker. I also have a Navman SE that does not work either. It
can't find the CF card or port. Probably something shorting out?
Did you have any luck with yours?
Thanks,
Cliff

Pretty much it has to be a mechanical issue if the headphones work and the
speaker doesn't. The wire from the audio output section goes to the
headphone jack first and is then routed to the speaker. Inserting the
headset routes the audio out and breaks the physical connection to the
speaker. Removing the headset, should restore the physical connection.
