Disassembling Soundmates V2 Case

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

My earbuds got run over a while ago, so let's take the case apart too! I'm hoping I can reuse the circuitry for another project

      • Flip open the cover and insert a thin flathead screwdriver in the seam by the hinge

      • Rotate the screwdriver just enough to create a gap between the two halves of the case

      • If this doesn't work very well, try the other side

      • Insert a spudger or another flathead bit into the new gap

      • This may cause some cosmetic damage

      • Once you've created a small gap, the lid should come off fairly easily

      • Run the spudger around the case until the two halves separate

      • If the top half doesn't come straight up and out, it may break off the charging port, like it did with mine. Go slowly and use caution

      • Gently lift the circuitboard off. Not too high; it's still wired to the battery

      • Now just pull off the battery; it's only held down by a sticky foam pad
