It's a very well known fact that the headphone jack is of real poor quality - if it fails, it will seem like you can't hear anything. Sadly this is a fault that's never been addressed. Folks end up having to send their radios in just to get that fixed.

I would do a Factory Reset and then try to pick up a strong FM Radio station as discussed in this thread. By the way the black globs in the photo don't look normal. Again they could be. I have not opened up my scanner. Just make sure you did not touch anything inside when you opened it up. The parts are real sensitive to static and you could short it out or worse shock you. Then you would have an expensive paper weight.

Have you tried using the scanner outside of the truck? Maybe inside your home? If still not receiving any FM radio ror NOAA I would contact the seller for a replacement.
