    • Remove the grey scuff guard at the bottom of the PC by pressing down on it, and pulling it away.

    • Lift the hinge and remove the grey rubber tabs on either side of the PC’s model information.

    • Remove the two 7.62mm Phillips #1 screws beneath the rubber tabs under the hinge and the four 7.62mm Phillips #1 screws where the scuff guard was removed.

    • Use 1-2 plastic opening tools or nylon spudgers to firmly pry open the back panel.

    • We recommend that you start prying the panel where the scuff guard was removed.

    • Prying the back panel will cause loud popping noises. This is just the sound of the clips that hold the back panel to the PC popping off.

    • Using excess force while prying can break the clips that hold the back panel and can damage the ports on the side of the PC.

    • Disconnect the three cables connecting the back panel ports to the motherboard.

    • Flip up the locking latch holding the two ribbon cables with a plastic opening tool and pull the cables out.

    • Gently wiggle the third connector out of its socket.

    • The two speakers are attached to each other with a cord that is threaded along the side of the casing. Gently pull the wire out

    • The cord is secured under two pieces of tape with multiple other wires. Make sure that you only remove the wire connecting the speakers.

    • Keep in mind that when replacing the wires, you will need to secure the tape again. Accordingly, be careful not to tear the tape when peeling it.
