Replacing the internal speakers in your tablet is a breeze. Just make sure you keep those screws handy — you’ll need them to secure the new speaker assembly. Simple, right?
Step 1
– Get your workspace ready! A tidy, flat surface with good lighting is what you’re aiming for.
– Power down your Acer Iconia A1-830. This girl needs a nap!
– Disconnect any cables and take off any outer coverings from your tablet.
– Now, gently place it on your workspace with the screen facing up, ready for some TLC.
Step 2
– Slide the plastic opening tool into the slim gap between the white plastic front bezel and the aluminum back panel—like a pro squeezing into a packed elevator, but less awkward.
– Avoid the top edge near the front-facing camera. Trust me, it’s better left untouched!
