Thanks! If it were totally dead, I was going to suggest reloading the firmware.

I did that as well to see if I could get anything, nothing at all was catching.
Yes, the display shows that the scanner is scanning in the system I programmed in. I even held the scanner to the frequency to the one I was trying to listen to, and my mobile was grabbing it while the BCT15X was not.
We'll see what Uniden says. Will keep you all updated.

It could be something as simple as a dirty headphone or speaker jack. Did you try plugging in headphones or an external speaker? If the contacts on the headphone and speaker jacks do not close properly, it can mute the internal speaker.

DO NOT open it up-your warranty will be VOIDED!
That is an inaccurate statement.
I didn't try that, no. But the small bar that indicates signal strength wasn't showing up when it should have been receiving and I could still hear the beeps from pushing buttons and junk.
Bit late for that one, mate!

Call my buddy Paul/Melissa at Bearcat Warehouse on Monday at 877-568-7226 and even though you didn't purchase it from them, see what advise they could give you! I think the audio amplifier is out. By any chance was there a lightning strike nearby or a transceiver used nearby this devise?Sleep tight dude.
OMG dude1
Sleep tight dude.
That's a long distance number for me, it'll rack up a huge charge (I'm from Canada). I already sent the scanner back to Uniden as it's only a few months old, so hopefully they can fix it. Even if I have to pay, it's better than having a $300 paperweight
Evan the 15 series scanners are very tuff it does no harm to open and look you did the right thing when the scanner gets back please update us so if any others have this problem they can see what may be wrong.

Totally false statement.
Just an update for anyone who was still watching this thread:
I still haven't received my BCT15X back from Uniden, which some of you may remember, I sent to them on July 25th. As tomorrow marks the first of September, I'm starting to get a little concerned as to when I will receive my scanner again. I'm understanding with the world's current situation that there may be slowdowns, but I have no emails, phone calls, nothing to indicate if/when my scanner will return. Should I reach out to Uniden?

You'll probably receive it or hear from them soon. I think 4 weeks is the typical turnaround time.
Hope so! I picked up a used scanner from one of my buddys getting out of towing, a BC785D which has been working fine for me right now in the meantime. I'd like to have my BCT15X back so I can focus the digital BC785D receiving fire/ems and the BCT15X locked to OPP. Had zero issues with the BC785D using the exact same setup as I had on the BCT15X, so I've been inclined to believe it was just a defective/improperly built unit.
With all that aside, I still miss it. First scanner I ever bought new and I didn't even get to play with it for more than a couple months
While up to 4 weeks for a repair to be completed is not totally out of whack, I believe that I would touch bases with Uniden to make sure that there is something needed from you to complete the process. You would also be find out if the repair is being delayed because they are waiting on one or more parts to arrive. Contact UnidenSupport via a message sent from RadioReference. That member, I believe, is not physically at the repair facility, but should be able to you some sort of updated status.
I'll give it a shot! Just sent them a message, so hopefully I'll hear back soon

once you computerize something, it has a mind of its own.

There is no excuse for Uniden not supplying regular updates on your repair. Yaesu, for example, gave me regular email updates, and replied back to my questions daily when I sent my VR-500 for a screen repair (after 15 years of use, btw).
I'm not sure then. I still haven't heard from them even after reaching out to the Uniden Rep on this site, and it's been over four weeks. I followed all their instructions on sending in units for repair so I'm not sure what's going on.
