where to find the speaker mesh and adhesive?

J. K. - 12/10/23

How does one gain access to TDM Replacement Mode?

Or where can you find a download for software tools USB drive with SDT?

What are the consequences of replacing TDM without running TDM Replacement Mode?

S.J. -

Is there any adhesive and speaker mesh replacement?

The Microsoft store and The iFixit store don't have them.
