Introduction

The MiP communicates with playful sounds. A malfunctioning speaker will greatly diminish the user experience. Use this guide to replace the speaker in your WowWee MiP robot.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the three 12.0 mm Phillips # 2 screws from the battery cover.

Step 2

Carefully pull the battery pack from the robot.
Remove the batteries from the battery pack.

Step 3

Use a metal spudger to carefully pry off the hubcap without marring the plastic wheel or hubcap.
This plastic material is not replaceable. Any damage will be noticeable.

The hubcap won't come out. It's flat & tight. Even a tiny screwdriver for eyeglass repair can not get under it. Any tricks forgetting it out?

Step 4

Remove the 12.0 mm Phillips #2 screw.
Hold the wheel in place, or it will rotate as you attempt to remove the screw.

Step 5

Pull the wheel off of the square axle.
Do not use excessive force while removing the wheel. Pulling too hard on the wheel can damage the axle.

Step 6

Remove the eight 9.3 mm Phillips #1 screws from the back of the robot.

Step 7

Remove the arms from the body.
Carefully open the body compartment.
Open the compartment slowly. There are wires connecting the two body pieces together. If pulled too hard, the wires and/or the motherboard could be damaged.
