Introduction

The speaker is a critical component of the Little Tikes Tobi 2 Interactive Karaoke Machine, as it is responsible for emitting music, audio cues, and other sounds necessary for proper operation and user experience. Without functioning speakers, the device cannot produce sound, which may significantly limit its usefulness, especially for audio-based features like music playback, notifications, or spoken instructions.

Follow this guide to replace the speaker of your Little Tikes Tobi 2 Interactive Karaoke Machine.

Before you begin the repair, make sure to turn off your device and remove the batteries. You may need to use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive that is holding the speaker to the device. Refer to the How to Use a Heat Gun to Soften Adhesive guide for tips on safely using this tool.
