Introduction

Taking out the speaker for a replacement

Tools

Step 1

Insert the flat edge of the metal spudger underneath the corner of the outer case.
Use the spudger to pry open the plastic clips that secure the outer case.

Step 2

Once all the clips are released, you will be able to pull up that edge of the case.

Step 3

Once one side is released, complete the previous two steps with the other side.
This side contains the buttons, so be careful so as to not damage them while prying the case off.

Step 4

Once all the clips are removed, you can gently remove the outer case.
The case is now fully removed. Now a new case will be attached by putting the case into position and pushing on the clips to reattach them.

Step 5

Begin by unscrewing the four 9.6 mm-long screws with the Philips #00 screwdriver.
Make sure to be careful with the gasket under the edges!

Step 6

Once screws are fully out make sure to carefully pull out so the wires connected don't get damaged.

Step 7

Once you carefully lift up the speaker, gently disconnect the wire that connects the speaker to the motherboard.

Somebody can tell me what type of the ribbon cable is that? Is connection between mother board and the turn on/off, bluetooth and party mode.
I need all the information about that ribbon.
