Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace your speaker which will require a plastic spudger and soldering iron.

What you need

Insert the blue plastic opening tool where the case has a seam. Move side to side until you hear a clip pop. Move around the edge of the case until all clips are separated. The clips are 1.5 in. apart within the case.

After successfully separating the casing insert a plastic spudger between the case and the speaker. Carefully pry the speaker out. Once the speaker is removed set the back casing aside.

Using a soldering gun, apply heat where the speaker wires meet the motherboard. Heat the solder around both the black and red wires until they easily slide away.
Be careful not to heat the motherboard too long so to avoid damaging other components. Also, care to avoid liquefying the solder on any near by components.
