Introduction
When your speakers are dust-free and clean, but still aren’t outputting the sound quality you once had or know to expect from your Nvidia Shield Tablet, it is likely that they need replacing. Before you begin, it is important to determine which speaker is malfunctioning! Listen carefully to the speaker on the top of your Shield Tablet, and to the speaker on the bottom of your Shield Tablet so you know which one, or possibly both, need replacing. This replacement will require some internal exploration of your device, so follow our steps carefully to replace your broken speaker.
