Introduction

The back cover on the TomTom ONE is likely to chip or break due to excessive use. The mount guides can get worn down and not function properly. This guide will help you to replace it.

Tools

Step 1

Use a T-9 Torx screwdriver to unscrew the four screws on the back cover.

Step 2

Using a spudger, gently pry apart the back case from the front case. It is easier to start on a side and work your way around the device.

Step 3

Carefully pull the back cover apart from the front cover. Be careful not to pull too hard because there are two sets of wires connecting the device.

Step 4

Once the two covers are separated, use tweezers, or even your fingers, to gently disconnect the two sets of wires that are connected to the motherboard from the back cover. You may have to wiggle the wires a little bit to get them to disconnect.

Step 5

As you can see, the battery and the speaker are still attached to the device and must be removed.
Using the spudger, carefully pry out both the battery and the speaker.
When taking out the speaker, the entire plastic shock mounting casing will come out.
The battery may seem tough to get out due to the adhesive used to secure it. Just slowly work at it and do not force anything.
