    • Slide the edge of a plastic opening tool underneath the sticker on the rear cover and gently peel the sticker up.

    • Once you have enough of the sticker peeled up with the plastic opening tool, grab an edge of it with your fingers and pull it off completely.

    • Grasp the rear case and lift it off of the front case.

    • Do not try to completely remove the rear case yet, as it is still attached by the display port ribbon cable.

    • Using a plastic opening tool or your fingernail, flip up the locking tab on the SD board ribbon cable ZIF connector on the motherboard assembly.

    • Be careful that you are prying on the locking tab, and not the connector itself.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to remove the SD board ribbon cable from its connector on the motherboard.

    • Lift the speaker out of the rear case with the tip of a spudger.

    • Remove the rear case.

    It's not a speaker it the microphone and the wire is very fragile.

    You can try put some new heat sink compound under that silver big element (radiator) that you see in step 9 (simply remove 2 screws holding it).
