Introduction

The Alldaymall A88X has a built in speaker is mounted on the inside of the back panel and is soldered to the motherboard. This guide will walk you through the process of removing the existing speaker and installing a new one.

Tools

Step 1

Using a plastic opening tool, carefully pry the device apart. Make your way around the entire perimeter of the device and carefully place the two panels next to each other.
After the panels are separated, watch out for the speaker on the rear panel as it's wire is rather short.
When separating the panels keep an eye out for the power button and volume rocker as they can be dislodged.

Step 2

Grip the speaker from the sides with your fingers or a pair of tweezers and slowly begin to remove it from the rear panel.
When removing the speaker, make sure not to disconnect the wires in any way.
After the speaker has been removed, place the rear panel aside.

Step 3

Carefully separate the speaker wire from the tape and proceed to peel the tape off in an upwards direction.
The tape we are removing covers a number of connections on the motherboard. Be extra careful not to sever any of these.

Step 4

Using a pair of tweezers, begin separating the tape downwards from the back panel.
Pull the tape away from the wire bundle beneath.
Isolate the wire running from the speaker to the motherboard.
