  Remove the six screws securing the earpiece speaker:
  
  One 2.4 mm‑long Phillips screw
  
  Three 1.3 mm‑long Phillips screws
  
  One 1.6 mm‑long Phillips screw
  
  One 3.3 mm‑long standoff screw
  
  Standoff screws are best removed using a dedicated standoff driver or driver bit. In a pinch, a small flathead screwdriver will do the job—but use extra caution to ensure it doesn't slip and damage surrounding components.

4. Step 3
  Use tweezers to lift and remove the earpiece speaker.
  
  You may feel some resistance near the top edge, where the speaker gasket seals against the frame. Pull the speaker out gently to release the seal.
