Sophix TAB-730g Speakers Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 4 Steps
Is the sound from your Sophix (730g) tablet acting up—distorted, muffled, cutting in and out, or just plain off? It’s likely the tablet’s speakers are misbehaving. But don’t panic, let’s troubleshoot step-by-step to get those tunes crystal clear again. Start by checking the volume control—it might just be set too low or too high, causing unexpected sound results. If adjusting the volume doesn’t fix it, inspect for any external material stuck around the speakers (think tape, paper, fabric, or anything odd). Carefully remove any obstructions nearby. Still not sounding right? There could be some debris clogging those tiny speaker holes. A soft brush, cloth, or a burst of compressed air can easily take care of that. And, if none of these fixes work, your speakers might have given up the ghost. The good news is you can replace them yourself with a little confidence and the steps outlined here. For this repair, you’ll need to know your way around a soldering iron as it involves desoldering and resoldering. Before you start, ensure the tablet is powered off and disconnected from any power source. Prepare your workspace—clean, dry, bright, and debris-free—then get that soldering iron heated up and ready to roll!
Step 1
Peel off the back cover of the tablet to uncover the motherboard nestled inside.
– First, grab that trusty #000 Phillips screwdriver and let’s tackle those screws chilling at the bottom of your tablet.
Step 2
– Once you’ve tackled the screws at the bottom of your tablet, it’s time to slide off that cover! Just place your hand on the panel and give it a gentle but firm nudge in the direction of the arrow. You’ve got this!
Step 3
– Now, locate the wires that connect the speakers to the motherboard. (Check out the red marker in the image to guide you.) To disconnect these, you’ll need to grab your trusty soldering iron and carefully get to work. Take your time, and remember—precision is key!
