Kindle Touch Speaker Replacement

Step 1 Back Cover




• Use the plastic opening tool to undo the ten plastic clips around the back panel of the Kindle.
Step 2



• Gently lift the bottom and slide the panel off.
Step 3 Battery
• Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the five screws.
Step 4
• Using the flat end of your spudger, gently pry the battery up and remove it.
Step 5 Bezel
• Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the six 4 mm screws to access the front plate.
Step 6
• Use the plastic opening tool to pry the bezel from the top and sides
• The bottom of the bezel will be glued, so be careful when sliding the clips out.
• The clips can be easily bent, so do not try to force them out. If you do bend some, they can be bent back.
Step 7 Rear Casing
• Use your Phillips #00 srewdriver to remove the indicated screws.
• There are three pairs of screws that are each different. The screws on the top corners are 4 mm #00 Phillips screws, the screws on the bottom corners are 2 mm #00 Phillips screws, and the black bottom center screws are 6 mm #00 Phillips screws.
Step 8
• With the screws removed, gently remove the case from the internals.
Step 9 Speaker
• Use the pointy end of your Spudger to separate the Speaker's connector from the motherboard on both sides.
Step 10
• The speakers are held down solely with contact adhesive, so use your Spudger to pry them from the support board.
