Description: Use this guide to replace the left speaker....

Steps:

1. Remove the following ten screws securing the lower case to the upper case:
2. Two 2.3 mm P5 Pentalobe screws
3. Eight 3.0 mm P5 Pentalobe screws
4. Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your device.

5. Wedge your fingers between the upper case and the lower case.
6. Gently pull the lower case away from the upper case to remove it.

7. The lower case is connected to the upper case with two plastic clips near its center.
8. During reassembly, gently push down the center of the lower case to reattach the two plastic clips.

9. If necessary, remove the plastic cover adhered to the battery contact board.

10. Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the battery connector straight up out of its socket on the logic board.
11. Be sure you lift up only on the connector itself, not the socket, or you risk permanent damage to the logic board.

12. Bend the battery connector up out of the way to prevent accidental contact with its socket during your repair.

13. Insert the tip of a spudger under the left speaker cable near the connector and lift it up out of its socket on the logic board.
