    • Insert the metal spudger into the mesh's seam/opening located at the bottom of the speaker.

    • Begin applying pressure, prying along the run of the seam until the mesh cover begins to come loose.

    • Fully open the hinged mesh cover and pry it off the unit.

    • Turn the speaker so the back is facing you.

    • Remove the factory tamper seal below the speaker volume toggle to reveal a single screw.

    • Remove the single screw using a T8 Torx.

    • Orient the speaker's backplate so that the plastic chassis and internal electronics are facing upwards.

    • Remove the eight 10 mm screws securing the motherboard chassis to the backplate using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    • Grab the motherboard chassis and gently remove it from the backplate of the speaker.

    • Orient the motherboard chassis so that the side with the six buttons is facedown on the table and the opposite side is visible to you.

    • Disconnect the seven-prong cable (the one with red, yellow, and black wires) plugged into the motherboard by prying on its edge/extruding lip with a spudger.

    • Lightly pull the seven-prong cable upwards until the battery is angled in such a way that you can get a proper grip on both sides with your fingers.

    • Using your fingers, pull upwards until the battery is removed from its enclosure.

    • Do not use a spudger or other flat tools to pry in between the seam of the battery and the battery compartment, as it is possible to damage the battery.

    • Orient the motherboard chassis so that the battery compartment is facing upwards.

    • Identify the two LED control PCBs located on the left and right edges of the plastic chassis.

    • Identify the black latch on each of the plugs that are connected to the PBCs.

    • Swing the black latch open by gently prying the front/extruding lip of the plug with a spudger or other flat tool.

    • To give a sense of direction, the latch should swing away from you or towards the LED (metallic square).

    • Grab each ribbon cable and apply a horizontal pulling force (with respect to the LED control PCBs) to disconnect them from the connectors.

    • Insert the spudger below the LED control PCBs and pry to remove it from the plastic chassis.

    • The PCBs are held onto the chassis with a considerably strong double-sided tape. If the spudger is too thick and can not fit under the PCBs, use a thin plastic pick or plastic card.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
