Razer Leviathan V2 X Disassembly Guide

ID: 193898

Description: Repairability rating 8/10. Easy for beginners,...

Steps:

  1. Using a flat metal "Jimmy" tool, gently work out the front metal screen and mesh.
  2. Insert the tool vertically ~3-5mm (~1/8-1/4in), then pry gently away from the mesh screen. The screen should slowly start to come out directly vertical.
  3. Repeat this every few cms/inches, working in a loop around the outside edge one or two times until you get the metal/mesh screen off.
  4. On the bottom of the metal/mesh screen there are 12 protruding plastic tabs that are inserted ~2cm into the body of the speaker.
  5. It should come directly vertically up with very little to no pressure if you get the tool angle just right. Be patient, and work slowly.

  53. Slip the speaker cables from their wedged positions and remove the white polyester batting that was behind the two speakers
  54. Reminder: Leave the foam insulation around the speaker wires, it is there to dampen vibrations and keep the speaker sounding clean.
  55. Step image Step image
  56. Be careful to not damage/bend the USB-C port!
  57. Firmly grasp the main board with your fingers and gently wiggle back and forth while pulling the board firmly outward.
  58. Additionally pull at a slight angle downward and away from the buttons to help dislodge the USB-C port.
  59. The USB-C port is still embedded in the outer frame of the speaker. The intent of this wiggling is to free the USB-C port from the frame of the speaker. This is the only thing still holding the main board in place.
  60. Continue this wiggling motion until you have gently worked the board out of it's place.
  61. Note: The main board is pretty wedged in there, so it does take some force to remove. Just be patient, go slow, and it will all be okay.
