  • Now, back to disassembling the chassis...

  • A simple tug removes the Ralink-based RT2571 USB Wi-Fi dongle.

    • The Ralink RT2571 supports both USB 1.1 & 2.0 for 802.11 a/b/g connectivity.

    • The chipset has the capability to operate in Windows XP, 2000, ME, 98SE, and in Linux.

  • Get your groove on with the single 2W mono speaker mounted flush in the plastic chassis.

  • After removing the four Phillips screws securing the speaker to the chassis, use a sharp blade to carefully separate the speaker cables from the adhesive applied near the speaker opening.

    • The speaker wires are glued down to avoid any rattling noises from ruining your air guitar solo.

  • The speaker has a 7/8" concave aluminum diaphragm held to the frame with a foam rubber surround.

  • The white panel on the chassis is fitted with a conical port presumably to eliminate resonance.
