The part being replaced in this guide, the speaker assembly, is essentially the channel that allows the audio output to be heard by the listener. By removing the old speaker part and replacing it with a new one, you will give your speaker the chance to play your favorite tunes again. Without replacing the speaker assembly, your speaker will continue to produce irregular or no sound.
It is important to note that this replacement process requires work with small wires and handling of the battery. Due to this, be sure that your device is powered off before beginning the repair.
