Introduction
The OnePlus 6 smartphone might need a speaker replacement for several reasons, like water damage or wear from regular use. The internal speaker plays sound out loud when no external audio output is present. If the device will not play sound or sounds come out distorted, a speaker replacement may be required.
As this guide will help everyday users replace a part within the device, they should be aware of potential damage from using the heat gun. While working on the inside of the mobile phone, users should be careful not to damage any delicate parts.
