What you need

Ask FixBot
-
-
-
Pry the steel mesh/screen from its sides (make sure not to pry too hard to avoid damaging the steel mesh).
-
Note: Don’t worry, bending the steel mesh is unavoidable, later on you can use pliers to straighten the mesh back into its original form.
-
-
-
Use your tweezers to remove/pull those 5 rubber seals encircled to reveal the screws.
-
Note: At this point, by performing this step, you are actively voiding the warranty, and the waterproofing will no longer work, so proceed at your own risk.
-
-
-
-
Use your phillips screwdriver (preferably magnetic) and unscrew all 5 screws.
-
-
-
Turn the speaker on the other side and carefully use your prying tool to open the back of the speaker's cover.
-
Note: Do not shove your prying tool too much to avoid hitting or damaging the circuit board inside.
-
-
-
This should reveal the back of the circuit board and the battery.
-
If you wish to proceed, using the phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 3 screws encircled and slowly lift the board from its place.
-
Note: Do not use too much force to lift the board as it could break, watch the charging port and the buttons if you are having a hard time lifting the board.
