Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 8 Steps
No sound from your speakers? No problem! This guide will walk you through the steps to replace your speakers and bring the beats back to your device.
Step 1
If a plastic opening tool doesn’t get the job done, try using a metal spudger—just be careful, it might scuff up the plastic a bit.
Before you get started, don’t forget to remove the micro SD card (if there’s one).
– Make sure the front of your device is looking right at you, ready for action!
– Start your adventure near one of those lovely curved edges (check out photo two for a handy visual guide).
– Gently slide a plastic opening tool between the front and back panels, like a pro!
Step 2
As you lift the back panel off the device, you might hear a satisfying little click. It’s just the sound of progress!
– Once you’ve slipped that plastic opening tool in there, give it a little wiggle around the edges to help separate the panels. You’re doing great!
– Now, gently lift that back panel off your device like you’re unveiling a surprise. You’ve got this!
Step 3
– Peel off that adhesive film and give a little lift to the retaining flap on the ZIF battery connector. You’ve got this!
– Gently slide the orange battery ribbon cable out of the ZIF connector. Easy peasy!
Step 4
– Peel off the sticky film, pop open the retaining tab, and gently slide out that white speaker ribbon like a pro.
Step 5
– Gently lift the retaining tab and carefully pull out the black LCD ribbon.
Step 6
That big white and black rectangle is the whole battery. Handle with care, and avoid any punctures!
– Grab a Phillips #000 screwdriver and remove the ten 4 mm screws holding the battery in place.
– Use a plastic opening tool to gently lift the bottom of the battery near the speakers.
