Sorry i couldnt see a section for Z series so thought i would post here as it is similar spec wise to the T60.
My old Z61t has never had sound from the speakers since i purchased a long while back, spares/repair 2nd hand. It has served me well & was never a problem for me as just used as a media player, svideo hooked up to old CRT TV, reason i got it & the audio out hooked up to my amp Outputs worked fine.
However i am now passing it on to a family member & would like to get the speakers working for them if possible? Any suggestions what the problem may be & if there is an easy fix?
If not or too expensive no major problem i will probably get some cheap portable speakers for it but thought i would ask 1st.
Thanks

Re: Question about Z61T sound issue
I guess the first thing I would check would be to make sure the speaker connector is plugged into the system board.

Re: Question about Z61T sound issue
The switch inside the headphone jack may be stuck. Try spraying some contact cleaner in and inserting/removing a cable a few times, while the machine is turned off of course.
