Introduction

This is a step-by-step guide to show how to remove the circuit board that is attached to the speakers. It can be done in just a few simple steps with the help of a spudger and a few screw drivers.

Tools

Step 1

Make sure the device is unplugged and powered off.
Turn the two screw plugs counterclockwise with a metal spudger until they are 90 degrees from their original position.
Pull each of the plugs out.

Since you didn’t use prerequisites, my comments on these steps have not transferred. Please be sure to see where I gave feedback and apply here.

Step 2

Use the metal spudger to pry and create space between the sound foam and the frame.
Once you have sufficiently pried the foam from the frame on each side, detach the sound foam from the frame with your hands.

Step 3

Unscrew the white case using the TR1 screwdriver bit to remove the 4mm screws.
Pull on the top until the case becomes fully dislodged.

Why is markup on the spudger? It should be used to highlight components of the device. Please demonstrate your hands completing the screwing and using the spudger. However, note that iFixit prefers you only use the metal spudger when absolutely necessary.

Step 4

Pull out the two white plugs by firmly grasping them and pulling in a downward motion until they become disconnected.

Each of these steps should be their own step so that you can include helpful pictures demonstrating you doing these things. Make sure all steps are written as commands.

Step 5

Unscrew the 4mm, red-marked screws with the TR6 screwdriver bit.
Detach the ribbon from the circuit board by grasping from the top of the ribbon and pulling away from the board.
