[QUOTE="condor22, post: 221540, member: 1932"] I had a friend in Dunolly that was getting some static on his GPX5000. He took it to Coiltek in Maryborough. The audio amp in the battery was faulty, but there was nothing wrong with the battery side of things. What they did was open up the battery and disconnect the amp. This cost a minimal amount and was much cheaper than sending it back to Minelab for repair and a helluva lot cheaper than a new battery. The result was that it worked as normal with headphones, but not with an external speaker. If you want to use a speaker you would need something like the Roster Booster. He was happy to go this way because he only ever used headphones. It sounds like you have damaged the audio amp part of your battery. [/QUOTE]
