Einleitung

If your Zenbre SoundBank Z3 speaker isn't working properly and is not responding to your touch, then there is most likely an issue with the internal circuit board that connects the buttons to the motherboard. The motherboard is custom to the device, so you will need to get a replacement from a similar device in order to repair your speaker.

    • Carefully remove the round black cover of the circuit board by using a spudger to pry it upward.

    • When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that is electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe in order to avoid accidental damage to the device. A metal spudger is great when you need serious prying power, but a regular black nylon spudger or a plastic tool should be used whenever possible.

    • Handle the cover plate carefully. Just like with the feet from before, it can be replaced if care is used when handling it.

    • Remove the four screws.
