Powerbook 170 sound too low coming from internal speaker or using earphone

My Powerbook 170 has been in storage for a long time so thought i could check it and see if its still working. It powers on just fine but the sound coming from the internal speaker is too low whether its the start up chime or on the os desktop. I tried it with an earphone but still the same. Any idea before i open it?

Was it recapped before you put it in storage?

Edit: Forgot that the 170 was all solid chemistry inside (except for the inverter board which has 2 electrolytic caps)... Problem must come from something else.
