Introduction
There are two speakers in the HTC EXCA100. We will be replacing both - the speaker used for the ringer and speaker phone, and the speaker used for the ear piece.
What you need
-
-
Remove the rubber screw covers. If needed, use a thin object to help pry them off. There should be two of them on top of the phone. Skip this step if already removed.
-
Pry loose the metal cover near the camera lens, circled in the picture.
-
-
-
Remove the battery cover.
-
Gripping the battery by the bottom, lift and remove it from the phone.
-
-
-
After removing the rubber stoppers on top, there should be six exposed screws. Remove these using the T6 screwdriver.
-
Next, use the spudger to loosen the case underneath the shiny metal edge. Go all the way around the phone until completely loosened.
-
After loosening the case, remove it.
-
-
-
Remove the one remaining screw in the logic board.
-
Unclip the wire that connects the back of the case to the logic board.
-
-
-
On the left side of the phone, there are three copper colored clips.
-
Unclip the bottom clip, thread the middle one through the logic board, and pull the top one out gently.
-
You can then lift the logic board out of the phone.
-
-
-
Remove the metal frame. Slip out the copper clips still attached to the bottom frame from the frame carefully.
-
-
-
On the back case above the opening, pull off the rubber ring around the speaker using the small tab on it.
-
Remove and replace the speaker.
-
-
-
Above the screen on the opposite, gently pry off the ear piece with the spudger.
-
This can be removed with your hands. Insert the new ear piece, and reassemble the phone.
