Opening computer speakers

[William Hill]

Hi there ...

I have a good pair of computer speakers in which I'm sure the headphone
jack has a broken electrical contact (probably a solder joint or trace). I
can fix the problem ... it's getting into the case where the difficulty
lies. There are no screws so I'm assuming there are plastic snaps. Does
anyone have any suggestions about how to open or "bypass" these snaps
without causing damage to the plastic case from prying or the like?
Engineers can be so irritating, can't they?

Thanks very much for any help you can offer ...

William

Sometimes, the grill can be snapped off to access screws from the
front. I've seen some that were sealed shut forever.

Not half as irritating as people who ask questions that have no answer.

It's good that there was only ONE pair of computer speakers EVER made.
So we know exactly what you're dealing with and can help you!!!!

I like to limit those expensive calls to the psychic hotline to those
things that benefit ME.

You wanna ask your question again???
