Anker Soundcore Flare Mini Audio Drivers Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

15 minutes

Introduction

Use this guide to replace the audio drivers in your Anker Soundcore Flare Mini. An audio driver is a device that converts electrical audio signals into soundwaves. This helps produce the audio you hear from the speaker! The drivers on most speakers are shaped like a cone to produce a certain frequency when in use. The speaker you are taking apart will have two drivers.

Before starting the replacement, make sure the speaker is turned off and is unplugged from the power cord!

Step 9

There are two drivers—one on each side of the speaker.
Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four 11 mm screws from one driver.
Use your hand to pull the driver out of the device.
Repeat this step with the other driver.

Step 10

Use precision tweezers to detach the two wire connectors from the driver.
Both drivers are connected to the same wire so removing one side will separate the other driver from the device as well.
Remove both drivers from the device.
