Einleitung

Subwoofers are notorious for blowing out. Consistent use at low frequencies result in a short life span for these parts.

This guide will show you how to replace the subwoofer instead of having to throw out you entire device. A replacement subwoofer can be found online or salvaged from another device.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Lift up the handle to reveal the screws.
Use your Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the eight 1/2 inch screws.

Schritt 2

Flip your device over.
Use your Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the six 3/4inch screws.
In removing the screws within the two holes on the back of the device, you may want to use your shaft extension to provide extra torque as they may be very tight.

Schritt 3

Flip your device back over to access the top of the device.
Use your plastic opening tool to pry up and remove the panel on the top, left hand side of the device.
This will reveal two additional screws.

Schritt 4

Use your Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the two 1/2 inch screws underneath the now-removed panels.

Schritt 5

Lift off the top, beginning from the back of the device.

Once you have removed the top, we will begin removing the front of the device.
Begin by disconnecting the 6 cables that lead from the front of the device to the motherboard.

Schritt 10

Use your Philips #2 screwdriver to remove the two 1 inch screws on the outermost part of the device.
Use your Philips #2 screwdriver to remove the two 3/4 inch screws on the outermost part of the device.

Firmly pull off the front of device.
There will be a small amount of black glue. You can simply ignore this, and continue to pull, or use a sharp edge to cut the glue once you've revealed it.
