Problem with my 70

I was detecting when I looked down and found that the display was giving a reading but no sound coming from the 70. I turned it off and back on and nothing different. Is was as if there were a set of headphones attached but I had been hunting without headphones in a secluded area. After a while it started signaling again and volume was as before. It comes and goes it seems. Any ideas??
Thank you
 
Dis-connecting headphone jacks have a switch contact inside that cuts out the sound to the speaker and routes it to the headphones.

Plug some headphones in and see if it is doing the same thing.

A.If yes then it is probably a circuit board level problem and needs to go for repair.
B. If no, try plugging in and un-plugging the headphones a few times to see if some dirt or corrosion has gotten on the switch contacts inside the headphone jack. I would face the headphone jack down while doing that to see if any debris falls out of the jack.

If the above is not the case then send it in for repair.

Now a wild outside chance is that you are not GB'd correctly & if you have the sensitivity cranked up high, you may see a momentary negative number(very fleeting)and, not hear that response if using the speaker with a lowered volume level. This would be caused by a very weak ground falsing. So only applicable if you are seeing negative numbers.

Sounds like the same problem I had, a loose speaker wire connector at the circuit board causing the intermittant operation. You have 2 choices, either send it in or do as I did and open it up and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
