This guide is to help you replace the internal speaker in a JBL Clip 3.

If the original speaker in your JBL Clip 3 stops working due to a mechanical failure and causes the speaker to produce no sound at all or an unpleasant buzzing or scratching sound, use this guide to replace it with a new speaker.

Note: Before beginning, make sure to power off the JBL Clip 3, and disconnect it from any external power sources.
