Garmin i3 Speaker Not Working
|
|
|
| Hi,
I have my i3 for about 6 months. The speaker is not working anymore.
Sometimes if I shake it a little, the speaker will come back. I am thinking
the speaker wire may be loosen inside. I am thinking to solder it back with
my iron if the speaker wire is loosen.
Is it difficult to open the i3? It has 4 screws but... it may have alot of
clips to hold the body. It is very difficult if there are clips.
any suggestion?

"Four small (very small!) 1.5mm hexagonal screws, one in each corner,
hold the i3's case together. Once these are removed and the outside
casing is gently prised away from the main chassis, you are left with
the main unit.
Carefully removing the click wheel and placing this with the hexagonal
screws to one side, it's possible to see the speaker with its
soldered wires. The speaker can then be carefully moved away from the
unit (still connected to the main board by the existing wires)."
