Introduction
If your Rienok S1 Mini speaker housing is damaged, or to access the internals of the device, follow these instructions to remove the case and the internals from it.
The housing contains all of the internals of the speaker, and is also an important part in maintaining the waterproofing of the speaker. Even disassembling the speaker once can cause it to be less resistant against water than it is when new.
Before beginning, ensure the power is off.
-
-
Start with the buttons panel up and facing you.
-
Wedge in one iFixit opening pick, and apply outward pressure to pop out one side of the grille.
-
Using a second pick, slide from the first pick towards the opposite end until one whole side is popped out.
-
-
-
While holding the other side open so it doesn't snap closed, wedge in one opening pick into one corner of the closed side.
-
Apply outward pressure until that side also pops out.
-
Using a second opening pick, slide from the first one until both sides have popped out.
-
-
-
Pull outward on one end, while holding the other open.
-
Pull in the opposite direction on the top or bottom rings while slightly rotating the center until the whole grille is removed.
-
-
-
Wedge an iFixit opening pick into the space between the ring and the housing.
-
Insert a Jimmy into the gap created.
-
Apply an out-and-upward pressure with the Jimmy to disconnect the plastic clips surrounding the ring.
-
Work the Jimmy around the ring, disconnecting the clips along the way until they are all disconnected.
-
-
-
After removing the first ring, turn the device to the other side.
-
Repeat the previous step to remove the second ring.
-
-
-
Hold the device with the speakers facing up.
-
Remove the six 10 mm silver screws connecting the two halves of the case with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
-
-
-
Insert a Jimmy into the seam between both halves.
-
Lightly twist the Jimmy until a small gap appears.
-
Work the Jimmy across the length creating and widening the gap as you go across.
-
With the gap across the whole length, grasp both halves and lightly pull apart.
-
DO NOT yank apart; the two halves are still connected by a few cords.
-
-
-
Remove the foam glue from the plugs.
-
Grip the plugs with your fingernails, and gently pull each plug until all three are disconnected.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
