    Die Kabel müssen abgelötet werden!

    Sie haben auf der Platine auch eine Steckverbindung.

    Und was nützt die beste Anleitung, wenn man die Lautsprecher nicht bekommt.

If the magnet comes loose from the speaker how do you get it back on?

Andrew Sumahit - Reply

Replace the entire speaker.

Magnet realignment is crucial for the speaker to perform properly.

Why does this transducer have 3 terminals?

aswinjayan007 - Reply

From what I can read it's for shielding, to reduce interference. But I also read that it would not be very effective.

Looking at the transducer, the white wire is merely connected to the chassis.

It can be omitted, so no need to find a replacement that has a shield lead.

For replacement speakers Google is your friend.

You can find fully disassembled kits for 10-20usd.

Hello, I live in Brazil, if I open the plastic/cloth part to see if my speakers are damaged will I void my warranty?

I have a Flip 4 where I just replaced the motherboard. However the wires that are attached leading up to splice with the speaker are aluminum. My speakers off the original Motherboard has copper wire. After splicing the 2 together, i checked for continuity and it was successful but i did not have any sound from the speaker. Please Help

Der Austausch ist nicht das Problem. Aber wo bekomme ich ein Ersatzteil her. Mit der Nummer psp00018001 finde ich im Netz nichts.
