Be very careful to avoid breaking the small leads connecting to the speaker.

With a needle nose, gently remove the gold plated contacts by pulling on the flange with an upward rocking motion.

Once the contacts are loose, grip the magnet on the back of the the speaker. A pair of good pliers may be helpful. Do not squeeze the speaker too forcefully.

The speaker is held in place with double-sided sticky tape. Use a slow rocking motion to pull free from the adhesive. Try not to damage this gasket.

Use this opportunity to clean any dust from the case, speaker grill and internals. The keyboard and power button will come out easily.
