Description: Prerequisite guide to remove the loudspeaker...

Steps:

1. Allow the phone's battery to drain below 25%, as a charged lithium-ion battery is a potential safety hazard.
2. Unplug any cables from the phone.
3. Hold the power and either volume buttons and slide to power off the phone.

4. If the screen or back glass is badly cracked, lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the glass to protect yourself and make disassembly easier.
5. Make sure there's a smooth area near the bottom edge that's big enough for a suction cup to stick to.

6. If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your device. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.
7. Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
8. You can also mark the other corners of the pick with different measurements.
9. Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

10. Use a P2 pentalobe screwdriver to remove the two 7.4 mm‑long screws on either side of the USB-C port.

11. Remove the four screws securing the loudspeaker:
12. Two 1.6 mm‑long Phillips screws
13. One 2.0 mm‑long Phillips screw
14. One 1.3 mm‑long tri-point Y000 screw

15. Insert the point of a spudger underneath the loudspeaker's bottom-right screw hole.
16. Pry up and remove the loudspeaker.
