HFD Leader Class Starscream Sound Problem

Hey guys,

So I got my Leader Class Starscream today. He is super awesome and I think he is one of my favorite transformers that I own. However, I have run into a bit of a problem. His audio chip doesn't seem to work. I noticed a bit of a jet sound while transforming him but that cut out, so I think it may just be that something got loose on him or something. He was sitting on my porch for a good hour in the heat too so I dunno. Has anyone had this problem with their Starscream/Other Transformer before? I'd prefer some guidance before I go fiddling around with his wires.

I got him from Toys R Us's Website, so if I where to return him I'd have to ship him back. But I don't really want to send him back cause he is really awesome. Any help would be super appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you tried simply changing the batteries?

Well the lights work fine, its just that there is no sound. Sorry I forgot to mention that. I switched out the batteries to be sure and the sound still doesn't work, but the Lights still work fine.

Sounds like a defect. Unless the problem is just a loose wire at the speaker, I'd guess there's not much you can do.

The voice sounds are garbage, tho. The jet and transform sounds are great. Good luck.

Huh, So I decided to fiddle with him a bit and took the arms off and tried to get at the speaker. I must have unstuck something cause he works fine now.

Thanks again for the help.

He doesn't sound like movie Starscream. As a movie toy, that's not very good.

the voices in RotF didn't sound right eg. Soundwave, Starscream sounds more like Starscream in the first movie than the second movie.
