Step 4

Remove the motor by lifting it out of the shell, and find the attached wires at both ends: the circuit board and the motor itself. Use the soldering iron to remove the existing attachments by heating the solder joint with the solder iron tip while pulling on the wire.
Make sure the motor is aligned over the correct holes during reassembly.

Step 5

              Light Up Buttons

When the white cover and the ball motor have been removed, the 6 push buttons will be easily accessible. 3 of the buttons can be removed from their slots by gently pulling up on each. The other 3 buttons are located lower in the unit and are held in by 1 phillips screw each.
When reassembling ensure that the button is in the inner slot circled in the picture with the button, and shown by the arrows with the button removed.

When soldering the wires to the new speaker it does not matter which wire is attached to which speaker connector.
Ensure that the speaker connections on the main circuit board are not damaged during the speaker replacement.
