    • Opening the Braven BRV-1s is very difficult as the case is glued shut. If need be, use a heat pad or other device to heat up and melt the glue.

    • Take a metal spudger and insert it into the bottom seam.

    • Work the spudger around the bottom seam making sure that bottom of the speaker is no longer glued onto the rest of the speaker.

    • Pry upward on the spudger until the bottom of the speaker is removed.

    • This is very difficult. Be sure to pry with care and avoid prying towards yourself. You will want to pry away from yourself in case the metal spudger suddenly becomes loose.
