Introduction

The earpiece is a small audio device used to emit noise through the receiver. A faulty earpiece will transmit distorted audio to no audio through the receiver.

Before using the guide, be sure to check the receiver for any debris that may be interfering with the sound quality. The small clump of dust can be removed using a small dust blower. Also be sure to check the volume on the device settings to confirm that the problem is the faulty earpiece.

Be aware of steps 3 and 6 since they require you to work with small, delicate parts of the device, such as the 2mm screws and the ribbon cables. Be sure to turn off the phone and disconnect from any external power sources before removing or replacing any parts of the phone.
