Disassembling Soundmates V2 Case

ID: 171919

Description: My earbuds got run over a while ago, so let's...

Steps:

1. Flip open the cover and insert a thin flathead screwdriver in the seam by the hinge
2. Rotate the screwdriver just enough to create a gap between the two halves of the case
3. If this doesn't work very well, try the other side
4. Insert a spudger or another flathead bit into the new gap
5. This may cause some cosmetic damage

6. Once you've created a small gap, the lid should come off fairly easily
7. Run the spudger around the case until the two halves separate
8. If the top half doesn't come straight up and out, it may break off the charging port, like it did with mine. Go slowly and use caution

9. Remove the two Philips #00 screws securing the board

10. Gently lift the circuitboard off. Not too high; it's still wired to the battery
11. Now just pull off the battery; it's only held down by a sticky foam pad

12. Done! Hope you didn't break anything like I did.
