Introduction
The speaker uses a magnet to change electrical signals into sound that we can hear. If the speaker fails, the device will no longer produce quality sound.
Before starting this guide, make sure that the problem is not your power source.
If you use batteries, make sure the batteries are charged and seated correctly. If that does not work, try the power cord provided with the device.
If you use the power cord, try using batteries.
If one of those work, Congratulations! You fixed your device! If not, the speaker will need to be replaced.
This 9 step guide will require you to remove the solder from the speaker, replace the speaker and then solder the new speaker.
If you do not already know how to solder this soldering guide will help to teach you how to do it.
Before beginning this guide, take the batteries out and unplug the keyboard from the wall.
