Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Case Separation
- Slide the flat end of the spudger under the front edge of the screen and carefully pry it open.
- The front edge is the side with the buttons on it.
- You may hear a cracking sound when pulling the case off of the device. This is normal, and is just the clips being pulled apart. However, be careful and pull the clips slowly/cautiously to avoid damage.
- Be aware of the speaker cable when removing the case, as it is still attached to the motherboard.

Step 2
Tape Removal
- Locate the Speakers; they should be attached to the case as shown.
- Follow the wires back to the motherboard, removing all tape covering the wires along the way.
- This will make it easier to move the wires around.

Step 3
Desoldering Speakers
- Desolder the black wire from the motherboard. This will separate the speakers from the board, allowing you to replace them.
- Exercise EXTREME caution while soldering. It is very easy to burn yourself, or damage the surrounding components. For a basic guide of how to desolder, follow this link: http://www.dummies.com/programming/elect…
