Introduction
This guide shows how to replace the power and speaker driver board in the Amazon Echo. This board is responsible for delivering power to the various components of the Echo and also delivers the appropriate signals to the woofer and tweeter. This guide may prove helpful if your Echo has issues turning on, sounds distorted, or won't make any sound.

It's great that you have provided these instructions. I need to do this with mine. Do you know where I can get a replacement board?
Taylor, did you ever find a new board? I need one too.
Great instructions BUT ...... THERE IS NO PLACE TO BUY THE BOARD!! (It's proprietary to Amazon) So this instruction is about as useful as jumping out of a plane before asking for a parachute.
Where do I get a replacement board ?
ya that's a thing need to fix it... where is it?
Did anyone ever find a board?
I guess we were all left hanging with the board successfully de-attached.... Any news on were to find the new board?
I also need a new board. I'm beginning to doubt that you can get these, unless you can cannibalize them from another Echo.
Duh. Where'd you get that clue .... like the 18 other comments that there ARE NO BOARDS available?
They need to change the name of this site from Fixit to SUCKER.com
I also need to buy a new board but nobody knows where.... :-(
USELESS DISASSEMBLY instructions because the Author either is clueless, or knew all along YOU CAN'T BUY THESE BOARDS ANYWHERE!!
I spilled coffee in the cup holder that the Echo was sitting. This knocked out its ability to speek. If you all can't find a replacment sound board you might try this. Everything seems to be working but she can't talk. I took my blue tooth speeker and pared to my mute Echo and it worked. It now has its voice back. I still would like to know if you can buy a replacement board. if anyone has information on getting one, post it please.
Successfully fixed my Echo using this guide. Here is some of my insight that I gained during this fix:
1. Bought a broken Echo on Ebay for spare parts.
2. Don't break the ZIF connector, it's fragile. It flips up towards the ribbon cable.
3. I found that my Echo was not broken at all, (until I messed with it). I thought the power jack was broken in a fall because I couldn't plug the power cord back in. The power cord that came with my Ebay Echo inserted fine. I later broke the power jack while troubleshooting, everything in there is BRITTLE. Check to see if your plug is your problem too!
4. Everything in there is very brittle, use gentle hands.
One last thing, I couldn't find the threads for the long screws during reassembly. I did some further disassembly on my Ebay Echo to find why and here is what I found: The long screws thread into the tweeter which is located just below the power board. If you look at the "Tweater Assembly" teardown, step 9, you can see these four holes NOT circled in red. In my case, my echo was disassembled for a few weeks and the housing had shifted slightly making it difficult to find the holes. The fabric surrounding the speaker made it more difficult to line up holes too. I used a scribe to ensure that they were inline and then the screws went back together nicely. Good luck!
Has anyone found a board replacement? I think our output board has a component which overheats and fails i.e. Alexa can’t talk but lighted ring rotates as though she is. Not sure how to find the component which is problematic.
Anyone find a replacement board?
If you all can't buy a board, why don't you go buy another Echo?
I have a dead echo and difficult to diagnose a fault. Can't see any burnt bits on the boards altho one tale-tale piece of damage to screw hole in the lid. Is there any point identifying a fault if there are no parts available? Presumably my best bet is another dead echo or a cheap used one? Anyone got a dead echo they don't want?!?
where can i get a replacement board
