on my last ttrip out on way home the unit gave up with voice directions after ignoring its directions due to it was sending me in loops yeah roundabouts and new roads, is there anyway i can get the sound back its a few years old now and still routes but no voice it be a shame to just toss it away and be left with the mem card which i can format as the maps wont work in any other unit, advice please thanks

Is there a power-on beep?

I3 gives up on voice when battery is nearly drained - are you using the car lead?

Have you tried a full reset?

It does seem that the speaker in the unit has probably gone. Replacement speakers can be obtained from :

http://www.speaker-tw.com/manufacturer/speaker/paper%20speaker/as-3655b08-a38w.htm

I found the service offered to be fast and cheap (they even supplied an additional speaker free of charge).

Fitting it proved quite easy (first having searched this forum for i3 dismantling info.) and it all worked.
