Sound just stopped working

Hi davohoh.

Sorry for not replying sooner.
Not sure how much help I can be other than relating my own experience of this.

I've "stored" my own Piaggio MP3 250 (1997 model) a few times for "extended periods" and never really had a problem ....
(except once when it didn't want to unlock the tilt mechanism and just beeped at me when I tried - after trying many many times it just did it and never failed again)

.... until the last time in July 2014 when I had your ALARM problem.

It had been parked on June 15th when I went on holiday and left for 25 days - I returned on July 10th.

When I turned the key and the ignition lights all came on so did the alarm, sounding loud and constantly.
Turned it off and back on - still the alarm.
Repeated several times - still the alarm.
Seem to remember trying to unlock the tilt mechanism - can't remember if it did or not but the alarm kept sounding.

Tried starting it and I think it took a while turning over (definitely not an immediate fire-up - but this was probably down to it standing for almost 4 weeks) before bursting into life but it did start.

I thought this was quite surprising given the alarm was still going off and IF it thought it was being stolen, or was an immobiliser issue, that this would be possible.

I then definitely unlocked the tilt mechanism and rode it a very short distance (20 feet) - the alarm was still sounding.

Stopped, turned off the ignition and back on again.
Think the alarm went off again and I started it again.

Not absolutely sure but either the alarm just stopped sounding as the bike was ticking over, or it did after I turned it off/on and started it another once or twice.

Once it was "silent" it never went off again.
Stopped, started, drove, parked, left overnight, left 3 or 4 days, never had the same problem again in the 8 weeks since.

Strangely enough another fault got "fixed" whilst it was parked for these 25 days.

The remote control key unlocking of the seat catch had stopped working and hadn't worked for several weeks at least (possibly months) despite attempts to fix it (reprogramming?) as per a few suggestions I'd found on the Internet.

Sadly despite working for about 7 weeks since July 10th this failed a few days ago and I can no longer open the seat using the key.
The little green LED flashes on the key but there is just no click from the actuating solenoid. I need to look into this further - even change the battery in the key - just a thought !

Hope this helps

It's usually a software conflict.
If you have multiple scanning programs, the one of them may have it locked. Especially if you have a scanning program that runs as a service.

try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer
hope this helps

the problem is your using a toshiba. I bought one several yrs ago and in just a few yrs things stopped working. first the sound wuit, then usb ports stopped working then when booting up the laptop it asked for a non existant password. finally i just tossed it out

• Hi, the best thing to do at this point is perform a "System Restore." Try to remember the exact "Date before the problem occur, or once you start the System Restore, ("pick a date going back more than 5 days"), check the dates and see if any of the dates seem familar. Pick the closest date prior to the "Sound going out!" Type in the "Search Window" from the start menu: system restore; scroll to find, and open. Follow all the instructions carefully for the process to be successful. "Hope it works out for you; if so rating the help will let me know, thanks."

Try going into device manager
click start
then control panel
then system
they hardware
then device manager
if there is a yellow !mark next to sound then use the properties tab to reinstall the the driver
Hope this helps

If you have a restore point of a week ago, backstep your machine to the restore point.

Find restore in START: PROGRAMS/ACCESORIES/SYSTEMTOOLS

I am having a problem with the sound on mine as well. I've tried these steps but there are 2 x's in the first step. So, i don't know what to click on. Could someone please e-mail me back at [email protected] with an answer?

Can you hear sound through the headphone port? If so then it's possible the speaker wire came loose on the inside. If not, then it's most likely a motherboard problem and you should contact ACER for warranty service.
