Introdução

If you are experiencing poor or distorted audio from your Philips DS3000, it may be time to replace the speakers.

This guide demonstrates how to replace the speakers on a Philips DS3000/37 Audio Dock. Because this repair requires soldering, the soldering technique page linked here might be helpful. Como soldar e dessoldar contatos

Be careful when soldering as the iron gets very hot and will burn. Before you begin the repair, make sure the speaker is off and unplugged from the charger.

  1. ZPoNWVKp5eWLFQnM

    • Insert an opening tool between the gray front casing and white back casing.

    • Pry the gray casing away from the white casing.

  2. CZslwFlGHnGW1r2g

    • Lift the metal latch on the ZIF connector using a spudger.

    • Gently pull the ribbon away from the connector.

    • If you are unfamiliar with using connectors, consult this guide.

    • Ensure the connector’s latch is fully lifted before pulling the ribbon cable. This will prevent cable damage.

    • Slowly pry around the black internal housing using an opening tool.

    • Pull the loosened black lid away from the back housing.

  5. 1FpK2E5DgeUQ2G36

    • Locate the green circuit board on the back of the black lid.

    • Remove the four 8 mm Phillips #1 screws securing the circuit board using a Phillips #1 Screwdriver. The screws are located at the four corners of the board.

  6. Y3ElJKXKJy5ajkGt

    • Remove the single 8 mm Phillips #1 screw using a Phillips #1 Screwdriver.

    • Pull the speaker port (the large black tube) off the main black housing.

  7. GUxgsyueOl3N4WST

    • Remove the four 7 mm Phillips #1 screws holding the speaker in place using a Phillips #1 Screwdriver.

    • The speaker is located under the speaker port, which you removed in Step 6.

  8. eY1lCPjKh1UCparr

    • Gently pull the speaker away from the black housing.

    • The speaker should remain connected to the housing through a pair of wires.

  9. nQ6MjEDULF6AqkZk

    • Carefully score an inch of the black sponge insulation with a wire cutter.

    • Gently pull the foam away from the wires.

    • A scissor, box cutter, or X-ACTO knife may be used in place of a wire cutter.

    • While cutting the foam, use gentle pressure to avoid damaging underlying wires.

    • Record where the wires connect to the speaker. When installing a new speaker, solder the wires onto those same points.

    • Heat up the solder securing the red wire using a soldering iron.

    • Remove the red wire.

    • Remove the black wire through the same process.

    • Handle a soldering iron with extreme care to avoid serious burns. Work in a well ventilated area to avoid inhaling solder fumes.

  11. IVHiuj5JA5Vw2L1W

    • Strip a quarter inch of rubber insulation from each of the speaker wires (red and black) using a wire stripper’s 0.80 mm wire gauge.
