Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

The speaker on the earpiece of a cell phone is arguably the most important aspect of the phone. Used to make phone calls, it is a necessity to have the earphone working at full capacity. Phone's earphones can get messed up by things as simple as sweat and dust and need fixing, but not to worry.

Before completing this repair, be sure you're comfortable using a Phillips #0 screwdriver. You will need it for the repair. You will need to be comfortable with a plastic prying tool as well, so make sure you can use one without harming yourself or the product! Finally, be careful when removing the battery and when handling the internals of the phone -- make sure you have dry hands!

By replacing this piece, the phone will once again be able to function as well as it was designed to. If you find yourself needing a new earphone for your LG Encore GT550, please follow this step-by-step guide.
