Introduction

Go to step 1

If your Bose Solo 5 Sound Bar speaker is damaged or malfunctioning, this guide will walk you through how to replace the speaker so that the sound bar is properly functioning again.

The speakers in the Bose Solo 5 Sound Bar are responsible for producing quality audio. If a speaker is damaged, the audio coming from the sound bar might be distorted or impaired.

Before using the following guide, make sure that there isn’t any buildup of dirt, dust, or other debris that could possibly be inhibiting the audio. If this is the case, an ESD-safe brush or small dust blower usually can be used to remove the debris.

Prior to starting the guide, make sure to power off the device and remove it from connection to any sources of electricity.
