When dealing with the daughterboard, similar to the motherboard, it can be a delicate repair that demands attention to and some soldering. Following the steps outlined in this guide, we will provide you with a comprehensive explanation on how to correctly swap out the daughterboard. Unlike its predecessor in the circuitry, this board is linked directly to the battery, which contains potentially harmful chemicals meaning it is extremely important to exercise caution in order to prevent damaging the battery. The daughterboard is located underneath the left ear pad, close to the headphones edge. When you do remove this part it is vital to use caution because damaging the connecting wires is easy if you are not paying enough attention.
Each of the screws for this project are the same 6.3mm Phillips head screws.
