Analogue Pocket Left Speaker Replacement

소개

Use this guide to replace the left speaker in your Analogue Pocket.

You may need to replace the speaker if it's making distorted sounds, crackling noises, or no sound at all.

Note: The left speaker is on the same side as the power and volume buttons.

Unplug all cables and fully power off your device.

Lift the bottom edge of the battery shell to unhook its tabs.
Remove the battery shell.

Use blunt nose tweezers to pull the battery connector out of its socket on the bottom right corner of your device.
If you're having trouble, try rocking the connector side-to-side to help loosen it.
During reassembly, use the flat end of a spudger to push down on the edges of the connector until it's secure in the socket.

Swing the bottom edge of the button board up and over the cartridge reader.
Set the board on top of the cartridge reader so the cable's connector is facing the bottom of the device.
During reassembly:
Put the top edges of the board under their tabs on the rear shell.
Lay the board onto the rear shell so the alignment posts go into their circular cutouts on the board.
Press the board down until the plastic clip engages.

Use the tip of a spudger or a clean fingernail to flip up the hinged locking flap on the board cable ZIF connector located on the board itself.
Use blunt nose tweezers to pull the cable straight out of its socket.

Sliding tabs secure the perimeter of the rear shell.
Firmly grip your device with one hand.
With your free hand, lift the bottom edge of the rear shell until it clears the front shell.
Pull the rear shell down until the sliding tabs disengage.

Remove the rear shell.
During reassembly:
Thread the button board cable through its slot in the rear shell.
Lay the rear shell on the front shell so its bottom edge slightly overhangs.
This allows the tabs to slide into place. If the rear shell is perfectly flush with the front shell, the tabs won't slide.
Push the rear shell in and slide it up to engage the sliding tabs.
