This guide covers the replacement of the Motorola Droid RAZR M speaker. Before you can start replacing the speaker you must complete the front assembly prerequisite guide.

In this guide the whole metal plating will be replaced, the speaker is a part of it. First lift the golden wire away from the metal plating. There is a little adhesive under the speaker located at the top of the metal plating. This will require a small amount of force to remove. There is also two small pins located to either side of the speaker, the silver plating will have to be lifted out and away from them.

    • Open the small latch on the left side of the device by lifting gently with your finger, exposing the SIM card and microSD card slots.

    • If either of these cards are present, remove them to prevent damaging them while taking apart the phone. Our device does not have either.

    • Close the latch once the two cards are removed.

    • Run the plastic opening tool under the bottom edge of the phone to detach the small plastic cover below the Verizon logo.

    • It will take some force to remove this piece. Work around the bottom corners to unlatch the two hooks holding the piece in place.

    • The small plastic hooks can break during removal. Be careful that you don't damage them, but it will take some force to get them undone.

    • Once the plastic cover is detached, pull the piece away with your fingers.

    Apply low heat in area as well, it makes the removal of this piece easier as it loosens the adhesive holding the cover.

    • As soon as you can get your finger underneath, pull away the silver plate.

    • When you detach the front from the back, don't pull the two pieces entirely apart. There is a flat orange wire that connects the two pieces that will be disconnected in the next step.

    • Snap apart the two internal clips located on the top corners of the device, and the two clips in the bottom corners.

    • Run the plastic opening tool around the edge of the entire device to pry apart the front of the phone from the back.

    • There is a small black plastic piece located at the bottom of the front assembly. Do not worry if the strip falls off; just simply snap it back on and proceed.
