With a few tools and some patience, you can have your phone’s earpiece speaker working like new again. Follow these step-by-step instructions to replace the earpiece speaker on your mobile phone.
Step 1: Gather the necessary tools
Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools:
- Small screwdriver set

Step 2: Power off your phone
Turn off your mobile phone and remove the battery if possible. This will prevent any accidental damage while working on the speaker.
Step 3: Remove the back cover
Use the plastic pry tool to carefully remove the back cover of your phone. Be gentle to avoid any scratches or damage.
Step 4: Locate the earpiece speaker
Once the back cover is removed, locate the earpiece speaker. It is usually located at the top of the phone, near the front-facing camera.

Using the tweezers, carefully disconnect the wires or connectors attached to the old earpiece speaker. Take note of how it is connected for when you install the new speaker.

Using the screwdriver, remove any screws holding the speaker in place. Once the screws are removed, gently lift out the old speaker.

Step 8: Reconnect the wires
Using the tweezers, carefully reconnect the wires or connectors to the new earpiece speaker. Make sure they are securely attached.
