How to Replace a Speaker on an Apple iPod Hi-Fi

Replace a speaker on your Apple iPod Hi-Fi.

If you want to replace a faulty speaker in your Apple iPod Hi-Fi, you’ll have to disassemble the unit from the front panel. By removing a fascia and some screws, the iPod Hi-Fi will easily come apart, allowing you to extract and replace individual speakers. Take care not to damage the casing of the iPod Hi-Fi while attempting to disassemble the front panel. Once the faulty speaker is replaced and the unit is reassembled, your iPod Hi-Fi will perform as it did when it was new.

Instructions

1. Remove the fabric front cover.

2. Pry the black fascia from the front of the unit. Work your way around the edge with a thin tool such as a putty knife, gently lifting away the fascia from the front.

3. Remove the screws revealed by removing the black fascia. The speakers will now easily lift away from the unit.

4. Replace a speaker by plugging a replacement speaker into the connector exposed by the removing the faulty speaker.
