Introduction

Use this guide to replace the bottom speaker in your iPad mini 6.

This is a prerequisite-only guide! This guide is part of another procedure and is not meant to be used alone.

There is a significant chance that you may break the unreinforced and fragile display panel during this procedure. Be sure to apply plenty of heat and be extremely careful during the prying stage.

You'll need replacement adhesive in order to complete this repair.
