Sony SRS-X3 Speakers Replacement

Introduction

On this guide, the aim is to teach how to disassemble the Sony SRS-X3 bluetooth speaker in order to replace the speakers in the unit. This teardown is fairly simple, and only requires two tools. This speaker replacement is being completed because of a humming sound coming from the unit when music is being played.

Remove the rubber feet on the bottom of the device.

Edit

Step 2

Remove the 6 silver screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
Remove the bottom plastic cover of speaker.

Edit

Step 3

Remove the two screws holding the battery pack with the Phillips #1 screwdriver.
Remove the battery back with a spudger.

Edit

Step 4

Remove the three screws using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
Remove the green circuit board and the battery pack.
The battery pack and green circuit board will still be connected to the speaker by a ribbon wire.

Edit

Step 5

Pop off the front speaker face (dark grey with little holes) by pushing out 3 tabs where screws were previously located and sticking the spudger in the crack where grey speaker face meets the outer shell.
You may really have to pry on this part; it is not easy to remove and will pop out when released.

Step 6

Remove the eight black screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Edit

Step 7

Remove the front face by prying the two black tabs using a spudger.
This face is glued in and may need some elbow grease to remove. Don't worry about breaking anything, as it is all connected.

Edit

Step 8

Remove the speaker wires from each speaker (2 wires per speaker) and take the speakers out of the device.
The speaker wire connectors are made to connect very snug, so they should be hard to remove. Give it a good tug and they should pop off the male end.
Remove the speakers from the device.
