Hi. This is the problem my speaker is having, but all I need to know is where to buy the replacement back. That's certainly something you should have included in your guide.

The purpose of a guide is to show how to fix the device, not obtain parts. I suggest eBay.

Pete Hyde -

Yeah what was the point of this if people can't actually do it. BS

The point is to guide people on the replacement of parts, not obtaining parts. I suggest eBay.
