| + | [title] Plan of attack: Charger-side earpiece |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] I was hopeful that the issue was a bad battery (as these are relatively easy to solve), so I decided to start with the charger-side earpiece. |
| + | [* black] There are subtle holes on the outside rings of either earpiece, hinting that prying may be possible. ***The surrounding plastic is very fragile***, so if you are trying to salvage the suave exterior, you may want to apply heat as there is strong adhesive holding the ring in place. |
| + | [* icon_caution] ***Be careful if heating*** - the plastic will likely warp with higher temperatures (try to keep just warm/medium hot to the touch), ***and use many broad prying tools for best outcome***. |
| + | [* black] After removing the plastic ring, screws were now exposed that held two halves of the outer earpiece assembly together. Excellent! |
| + | [* black] Though the screws provided support, the two halves didn't simply fall apart - a surrounding plastic clip holds the two pieces snugly together. Time to grab the spudger... |
