Introduction

Be careful when removing the haptic motor. There are two wires that can be easily ripped out. For this replacement, you will need a soldering iron.

  1. uqDMVSGvIIwJZtUZ

    • Obtain the black plastic spudger tool from the iFixit toolkit. Position the device as shown in the picture. Insert the flat end of the spudger directly in the space above the power button between the back cover and front screen.

  2. k3QaoEQU5siXDDXU

    • Gently pry up on the plate with the spudger. You may hear some cracking noises as you work the spudger around your device, this is normal.

  3. IpMBPGJpQSZKPyRY

    • Pry around the edges of the tablet with your fingers until you have successfully removed the back of the device.

  4. SRTk45HBlQV2JEUt

    • After removing the back cover, you will be able to gain access to the speaker component.

    • Pry the speaker up gently with the pointy end of the metal spudger.

  6. I1ugnfC4xBAJ6J5p

    • Pull the red and blue wires from the green circuit panel.

  7. iAaOWjZHfudVPIqO

    • When reassembling, you will need to use the soldering iron to solder the red and blue wires back to the circuit board.

    This is not the speaker, this is either the microphone or the vibrator motor.
