Fixing the Top Speaker on iPhone 11 Pro Max

Step #1

Before doing anything, turn off your iPhone 11 Pro Max for repairs. To do this, you must press and hold the phone’s power button and the volume up or volume down button for a few seconds until the red “Switch off” bar appears on your phone.  Slide it to the right to turn off your phone.

Step #2

Remove the SIM card slot of the phone. To do this, be sure to use a SIM card needle so that you can completely pull out the SIM card tray from the phone.

Step #3

Using a five-point screwdriver, open the two screws on both sides of the charging port.

Step #4

At this stage, we need a hair dryer to heat the phone screen. Doing this, the waterproof adhesive around the iPhone 11 Pro Max screen becomes soft and easy to remove. Separate the phone screen from the body. At the same bottom corner of the phone, place the tip of the iSesamo spatula between the body and the screen to create a small groove. Then, use a pick and pull it all around the screen to separate the screen of your iPhone 11 Pro Max from its body.

Tip: If you feel that the phone screen is resistant to being separated, go to the hair dryer again and heat it a little more so that the phone seam is softer and you can easily separate the screen using a pick.

Step #5

Open the phone. First, gently pull the screen down towards you to separate it from the body. Then open it like opening a book cover. Note that the screen of your phone is connected to the body from the inside by flats. So be careful and do not immediately remove the screen from the body.

Step #6

Take the three-sided screwdriver and loosen the two screws holding the metal cover that protects the battery connector of your iPhone 11 Pro Max. As soon as you open and remove this metal cover, disconnect the battery using a plastic spatula.

Disconnecting the battery is an important step before proceeding with any disassembly of the phone.

Step #7

Again, using the same three-sided screwdriver, open the screws holding the cover plate that protects the screen connectors.

Step #8

Using the plastic spatula, disconnect the screen connector and then the flat connector of the phone capsule, the secondary microphone, and the facial recognition illuminator. Finally, after removing the flat touch, the screen of your iPhone is completely separated from the body.

Step #9

At the beginning of your work, it is necessary to open the four three-sided screws holding the metal plate that protects the external speaker connector. This metal plate is very easy to take away, as it can be removed using tweezers after unscrewing the screws.

Then open the Taptic Engine held by a rivet screw using a two-sided screwdriver. Finally, loosen the two Phillips screws.

Step #10

After opening all the screws in the previous step, separate the external speaker connector with a plastic spatula and remove it with the help of tweezers.

Step #11

Finally, the external speaker of your iPhone 11 Pro Max is removed and now you can replace it with a healthy one.
