This guide will walk you through the process of partially removing the motherboard in your JBL Tune 760NC headphones. If you're troubleshooting internal issues or preparing for a mock repair or inspection, lifting the motherboard slightly can help you view the internal connections without fully disconnecting any wires.
Before You Begin:
Make sure the headphones are completely powered off and unplugged. This process involves opening the right ear cup and removing internal screws to gently lift the motherboard for viewing or instructional purposes
Note:
You will not be desoldering or disconnecting any wires in this guide. Because the wires remain attached, be extra careful not to apply stress or tension when lifting the board. This is a moderate-level repair that may cause minor cosmetic wear to the device. Work slowly on a clean, flat surface with proper lighting, and avoid forcing components back into place
Tools Required:
- iFixit Toolkit
- Phillips #0 screwdriver
- Soldering iron (recommended)
- Tweezers (optional)
