The earpiece speaker requires more steps and time to replace than the speaker drivers at the bottom of the phone. If you are having trouble hearing phone calls without using speakerphone, the earpiece speaker may be broken and needs to be replaced.

    • The motherboard is split into two different chips. The large chip is located above where the battery rests and the smaller chip is located below it.

    • Remove the three 3.6 mm Phillip's screws on the motherboard.

    • A small silver piece of metal is connected to the lowest screw and may fall off. This metal holds the WiFi antenna in place and should not be lost; although the phone operates just fine without it.

    • Using the flat end of the spudger, pry the four tape connectors straight up out of their respective motherboard sockets.

    On the Australian Model X9076 the tape connector near the SD card slot is not present.

    Instead it appears that connector has been moved to the under side of the board just under and to the right of the SIM slot.

    When disconnecting the motherboard further down, use the flat spudger to pop this connector.

    • This connection is a little bit more tricky to remove. Follow these directions carefully to avoid damaging the device.

    • On the right side, there are two motherboard connections hidden underneath the motherboard. For these, insert the spudger in between the motherboard and the connection and rotate the spudger in a rocking motion until the two cables are disconnected from the motherboard.

    • Like the last step, this connection is tricky to remove. Please pay close attention to the guide to avoid damaging your device.

    • On the bottom right only one connection is visible, however an additional connection is hidden underneath the first. To safely disconnect both, first unplug the visible connection then lift its tape up to expose the second socket. Similarly disconnect the second tape.
