Introduzione

Follow this guide to replace the motherboard on the Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones.

Ensure the headphones are powered off and discharged.

As a precaution utilize the antistatic wrist strap to avoid damaging any of the electronic components.

You will need solder to reassemble.

  1. X2ISNDTwDhQ4R4XL

    • Before beginning any repairs, press and hold the power button on the left ear cup for about 2 seconds until the blue light turns off.

    • Place your headphones onto a work surface, ear pads facing up.

  2. LMSlJYj6yiNifjtp

    • Use your thumb to depress the LEFT ear pad near the long outer edge, creating a gap between the cushion and the frame.

    • Pivot the spudger down to unclip the long edge of the ear pad.

    • Repeat around the perimeter of the ear pad until it is loose.

    • When the first clip disconnects, you'll hear an audible clicking sound.

    • This may take a considerable amount of force. If the cushion won't click out of place, move your spudger to different points along the long edge.
