    • Gently pull the plastic plate towards the antenna cable.

    • There is a small antenna cable that is easy to rip off the solder joint, so lift carefully.

    • Pry the speakers from the housing with a spudger.

    • The speakers are connected to a spring-loaded pin connector which is attached to the black plastic using industrial hot glue, so while you can heat the glue to remove it, the plastic may melt and/or deform, so we wouldn't recommend it.
