1. Step 5 Speaker
  The soldering iron heats up leads, wires, and everything else it touches that is metal. Leaving it on too long may damage the board or burn you.
  
  Desolder the speaker wires and solder the new speaker in its place.
  
  The black and red wires are connected to the two solder bulbs in the yellow box.
