Creative Inspire 5100 Disassembly

Wat je nodig hebt

    • Disconnect all inputs and outputs.

    • The speaker cover is secured on each corner by a stud that is easily loosened by exerting some force by hand or using a flant, blunt object. Try not to damage the cloth.

    • Clean using a vacuum cleaner on the lowest setting.

    • Clean the conus of the speaker with a soft brush.

    • Remove the screw on 4 corners of the speaker.

    • Gently lift the speaker from the box

    • With a small plier, remove the two wires from the speaker. They slide over the poles of the speaker. While polarity will probably not matter, please note that one is smaller than the other (visible on the photo), to make sure you keep the polarity. Do not force it back on.

    • Remove 6 screws (large arrows) using a philips PZ1 screw driver.

    • Remove the remaining 3 small screws. This will be needed in the next step.

    • Pry loose the backplane from the box using a flat scewdriver or blunt knife, going from side to side.

    • There are several bronze colored screws (red) holding the black plastic frame to the circuit board and backplane.

    • No need to remove the heatsink at this time, although the IC output amplifiers are soldered to the PCB and will hold the heatsink in place.

    • The hot glue needs to be removed as well.

    • Try prying the backplane loose first

    • When the backplane is removed, the circuit board comes off by moving it up over the plastic posts.

    • The PCB is now free. I needed to resolder all the speaker output posts, you may as well touch the DC input as well.

    • The empty cabinet can be checked for dirt before reassembly.

    • The plastic pipe needs to remain open. It is an intentional part of the bass reflex speaker design, giving it low bass tones without needing a much larger volume that a closed system needs.
