Einleitung

The back panel houses the motherboard for the speaker. It needs to be removed in order to replace the motherboard as well as several other components.

The motherboard in this guide contains capacitors which can hold a charge even when the speaker is powered off. Do not touch the as it may result in a shock.

    • Slide the front panel with the mesh covering downwards to disconnect it from the SoundTouch 10 body.

    • Lift the panel away to reveal the speaker head.

    • Use force with an iFixit Plastic Opening Tool to pry the back panel up from the speaker frame.

    • If the panel does not come free easily, a heat gun may be needed to weaken the adhesive.

    • Once the panel has been disconnected, it should fall open revealing the motherboard.

    • The motherboard contains capacitors (shown as cylinders in the upper right of the picture) which can hold a charge even when the speaker is powered off. Do not touch them as doing so may result in a shock.

    • Pull up on the base of the speaker wire plug to disconnect it from the motherboard.

    Only the upper part takes off (the one that is whiter). The other part coresponds to the base, and it is unremovable

    To remove the plug, squeeze the very top of the plug to unlatch the plug, then pull on the plug to remove it.
