Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If you're having issue with the external sound on your Contixo V8 (model number V8X), you can troubleshoot the issue here; this guide will show you how to replace the internal speaker. You will need two iFixit plastic opening tools and a soldering iron or gun with a small tip. Please see this guide for information on soldering and desoldering connections within your device. A plastic spudger may also prove useful, but the iFixit opening tools could be used instead. You may also want to consider using an anti-static wrist strap and anti-static mat to protect yourself from accidental electric charges when working on your device; see this guide for information on how to use these items.

1. Step 1 Internal Speaker
  Find the edge of the tablet, where the front panel meets the sides. Use the plastic opening tools to pry the panels apart.
  
  The back and front of the device can be reattached by lining them up and pushing around the edges. Be sure to do this around the full perimeter of the device to ensure proper connection. You will hear a popping sound; this is the plastic sliding back into place, and is normal.
  
  Lift the face of the tablet.

3. Step 2
  Press the soldering tip to the connection point to detach the speaker from the motherboard. See this guide for information and tips on soldering and desoldering.
  
  You will need to reattach these connection points when reassembling your device with the soldering iron. This guide will walk you through how to do that. Be sure to attach the positive and negative wires to the correct points when resoldering the connections.
  
  You have now detached the internal speaker and the new speaker is ready to be attached.
