You may need to repair your iHome iD95 plastic underside cover if it has cracks, water or heat damage, or if you need to restore internal functions. If you notice looseness, rattling, or a gap between the bottom and the main body, it indicates that your cover is damaged. After this fix, your iHome iD95 will look new, be protected from dust, moisture, and internal exposure, and stop rattling and vibrating during playback. For this procedure, you must fully disassemble and open the entire unit.
You must realign several wires and harnesses during reassembly, being careful not to pinch or tear them.
Note that iHome no longer sells official parts, meaning you will have to source most replacement parts from people who donate parts or third-party sellers.
