I followed strictly the tutorial to use 6 rechargeable AA battery to power up EZ-B v4. It lights on, flashes and then blinks exactly as tutorial video shows. But there is no sound. I tried reset and reboot. No luck. Does it mean the speaker is bad or I missed something? Thanks.

The speaker connection is two little springs that sit between the speaker in the case and two pads in the bottom of the EZ-B circuit board.

You can carefully open the case and lift the board out, stretch the springs a little bit and put it back together.

Speaker could be bad or not making good contact. If you want to try, you can remove the 4 screws from the bottom of the ezb, and stretch the 2 little springs that make contact from the speaker to the pads on the bottom of the board. If not, use the Contact Us page to request assistance directly from ez-robot.

Thanks both of you for the tip. It was a connection problem. It works after I inserted some paper to one the back to ensure two springs to touch the pads.
