Anybody has an idea how to release? Maybe contact spray?
Are the contactor accesible by opening the unit?

I have one that this happened to, and I can only use the external speaker-mic now.

When a external device (speaker/mic, programming cable, etc.) is
plugged into the socket of the radio, 2 contacts are lifted to
disconnect the internal microphone and the internal speaker. It is
common in these radios for the contact to not fully return to the
initial position when the 2-pin plug is removed. When this happens,
the internal mic and/or speaker remains disconnected.

This is not a CHIRP issue. This is how the radio works. You cannot
permanently change any parameter of a programmed memory. You can only
temporarily change TX power output level by tapping the [#] or swap
the TX and RX frequencies by tapping the [*] to put the radio into
"reverse" mode.

You can only manually update the TX frequency and either the TX DCS
code or TX CTCSS tone by entering the values in the top (A) VFO and
then write the new values to the appropriate memory using menu 28
(MEM-CH). To change any other parameter, including menu 5 (W/N), you
must erase the memory and program the memory back from scratch using
the top (A) VFO or use programming software such as CHIRP.
