Anki Cozmo Speaker Replacement

Introduction

If your Anki Cozmo robot is emitting muffled or little to no sound, follow this guide. This guide is to assist users in replacing the speaker in an Anki Cozmo robot, so it can make noise again. The speaker, located in Cozmo’s head, allows it to make noise. Before beginning, make sure to power off your Anki Cozmo robot and disconnect it from the Anki Cozmo app.

WARNING: when using hands to remove any component, be careful not to cut yourself or rip your fingernail.

    • The thinner upper arms have a small hole on the bottom of the rotating hub, allowing you to press the retaining clip in while pulling the arm outward to remove it.

    • The thicker lower arms have indexed slots that align with retaining tabs internally. Rotate the arm to its topmost position, where it touches the upper axle. Apply gentle pressure outward to remove the arm.

    • Do not force the arms with a spudger as shown in the photo! This can easily break the retaining tabs!

    • The short arm on the right side of the body has a long white spring attached to it that runs through the center of the body.
