Ahhhh...the one problem with MineLab. My understanding is their single service center in the US is shut down due to virus and I've been told few (if any) other repair shops do not accept ML equip due to ML will not sell replacement parts to competitors. Love my Etrac, but if all is true...ML doesn't care about their image and apparently "repeat" sales. 
Sorry, I can't be more help.

MikeO posted this on another thread, they currently do Explorer repairs but....currently means after the Covid19 restrictions etc, they are accepting inquiries at this time but not service till after, one thing, is they are over in UK, but better than no one servicing at all.
Too bad we can't get electronic blueprints for discontinued units but I guess there is too many proprietorial info especially with all the counterfeiting going on.

Yeah I seen Mike's post on that place... its looking like they are my only option when this covid 19 goes away.. I just emailed them so we will see what happens...
Also, if your handy many repairs can be done on your own.
Have you opened it up to look at speaker connection? Btw, your far better off using headphones as you might already know.
I have seen many replacement parts on EBay as well.

Hey mike... the external speaker has basically stopped working. Theres very little sound coming from it...
Here’s some videos that might be helpful to you if you want to pursue fixing it yourself.
Of course these are not specific to your problem but, will help you with feeling comfortable with opening it up in the event you just don’t want to wait until life gets back to normal.
