    • Before disassembling your device, make sure that the power is completely turned off.

    • Use the plastic opening tool to release the clips holding the rear panel of the device onto the front section.

    • The clips may take some pressure before releasing.

    • Continue around the entire device until all of the clips have been released.

    • Use a spudger to carefully free the speaker from it's housing on the back panel.

    • Place the spudger between the speaker and the rear panel. Use a prying motion to remove the component.

    • Be careful not to apply an over amount of force. If care is not taken, the speaker could break under the pressure.

    • Use the Portable Soldering Iron tool to heat the lead coming from the Wi-Fi antenna to the logic board, thereby breaking the connection.

    • For help on soldering, refer to the iFixit "How To Solder and Desolder Connections" technique guide as necessary.

    • Once heated, use tweezers to pull the wire free from its connection.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
