Introduction
Welcome to the Zoom H1 Handy Recorder guide to replace the speaker. It will happen at times that the speaker corrodes, suffers damage, or ages in quality, making the device not project the sound properly or any at all. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions to help you replace the speaker. Although this guide is easy to follow, there is a special skill necessary: soldering.
Caution! About soldering: there are some hazards to be aware of, necessary equipment, and the act of soldering itself. Luckily, iFixit has a Wiki on all of the above! Click here to access the Wiki. Now go and make your Zoom H1 Handy Recorder work like new again!
